Call: (805) 496-3039
Getting a brake service isn’t just something that’s nice to have: replacing old with new brakes is often essential to ensure that your vehicle remains both safe and roadworthy. We offer original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts & fluids for all brake services, and are ASE Certified Technicians, giving you peace of mind.
Over time, brakes can degrade. The pads in the brake calipers, for instance, can wear down, losing their abrasive surface over time. When this happens, they lose their stopping power, and the bare metal can cause damage to the disc.
Brakes can degrade in other ways too. The hydraulic fluid that transmits braking force from the pedal to the caliper can become infiltrated by small pockets of air that reduce stopping power. At Accurate Automotive, we perform engine diagnostics, check for leaks, replenish all fluids and perform an overall vehicle inspection to make sure that there are no issues with the system as a whole.
When Should I Get A Acura Brake Repair And Service?
- You Notice Vibration While Braking. If you notice that your vehicle is vibrating while you brake, it could be a sign that there is a problem. The most likely issue is that the brakes are worn. If they are, come and see us immediately and we will resolve the problem.
- The Car Pulls To One Side. Another common braking issue is where the vehicle seems to want to steer to one side or the other under braking. If you notice this happening, then it could be a sign that your brakes aren’t applying equal force on both sides.
- The Brake Pedal Feels Squishy. There are several reasons why a brake pedal might feel squishy. But the most common is that there are pockets of air stuck in the hose that leads from the brake pedal to the caliper. If you notice a squishy feeling in your Acura’s brakes, then come and visit us immediately to ensure that your car remains safe.
- You Can Hear Grinding Sounds. Brakes shouldn’t make a grinding sound when in use, but sometimes this can happen, especially on disc brakes. Grinding noises usually result from underutilization of the braking surface, combined with a gritty and wet road surface. Water and salt from the road destroy the surface of the disc while the car is not in use. If the owner of the car doesn’t brake heavily, no force can remove the layer of corrosion from the disc, leading to an unpleasant grinding sound while braking. With us, you can quickly resolve the problem and get your brakes working optimally again.
- You Can Hear Screeching Sounds. Screeching sounds, or continuous high-pitched noises, may be caused by the brakes, but it could also be the result of something else. We can check suspension & steering, check timing belt wear, check cooling systems, hoses, thermostat operation, radiator and check the exhaust system.
There’s A Burning Smell While Driving. If you smell burning while driving, it could be a sign that your brakes are overheating. It could be that one of your calipers is applying too much force compared to the others, leading to high temperatures on the surface between the pad and the rotor.
What Happens During An Acura Brake Repair?
If you do not get your brakes serviced and repaired as needed, you can end up causing extensive damage to your Acura vehicle. When disc pads wear down, they can rub on the disc rotors, wearing them away, and forcing you to replace the whole brake system the next time you get your vehicle serviced, costing you more money. Furthermore, pads that lose their abrasive surface don’t offer the same level of friction or heat dissipation under braking, causing a loss of performance and put you and your passengers at risk.
During brake repair on your Acura, Accurate Automotive mechanics will investigate each component of the braking system, looking for faults and problems. We check the calipers, brake pads, brake hoses, and rotors for signs of damage or wear. We then replace parts.
