Brake Test and Replacement near Enterprise, AL
You might be unsure about how to properly care for the brake system of your Ford Escape or F-150. With Gilland Ford, you’ll have much more details about a test and replacement, two services that help keep your car’s brake system in order. Our Service Center is eager to aid your vehicle, so schedule an appointment!
Brake Test
To start, let’s discuss the intricacies of a brake test, which you can expect our expert technicians to handle well. We’ll board your vehicle and see how the system responds while we drive it. This gives us the chance to tune into any abnormal sounds or other irregularities that indicate needed repairs. Once we finish, our service members will remove each tire and then examine the state of the pads to see how worn they are after many travels through Route 331. We also check for any leaks in the hoses along with other major components, including the rotors and brake fluid.
Brake Repair and Replacement
If you haven’t had service done at Gilland Ford before, don’t worry, because our Service Center is skilled in offering different maintenance tasks during your appointment. For instance, if your brake pads are worn excessively, we’ll replace the tattered ones for a new set. Or, if the rotors are rugged, we’re able to resurface the metal so that they're left with a smooth surface for the pads to rub against. This involves removing a layer from the surface of the rotors. Also, we’re capable of performing a brake fluid flush if the liquid accumulates too much moisture and becomes dark.
Parts of the Brakes
When describing the various components in your brake system, the first we’ll cover are the pads. These are paired with the calipers, which push the pads on the rotors in order for your Ford Expedition or Fusion to stop. Also, the fluid inside the hoses is in charge of transferring hydraulic pressure through these lines towards the calipers. That way, the calipers in turn can help your car come to a halt. During travels to the Army Aviation Museum Foundation, the master cylinder of your vehicle's system will take the pressure from your foot stepping on the brake pedal. Then, it transfers it to the aforementioned fluid for you to stop at a red sign. Now that we’ve covered the important parts of your brake system, head to our Service Center at Gilland Ford for an inspection when you need it!
