What happens during your car brake service?

Your Clermont Toyota car brakes is something that needs to get changed every so often. This is one auto service you don’t want to miss! However, if you do miss this auto service, then this could lead to a much more costly fix later on. Your brakes could also fail and lead to a car accident. This is the last thing you want to happen! Luckily, Toyota of Clermont is here to let you know what our expert auto service technicians are doing during your car brake service. Let’s dive in! 

The ins and outs of a car brake service 

#1 Inspect the rotors and brake pads.

The first thing our Clermont Toyota auto service technicians are going to do is inspect your rotors and brake pads. They will inspect the condition that your car brakes are in and will let you know what they recommend to replace (or even not replace). It’s natural for your brakes to wear down due to coming to a complete stop, especially if you’re commuting in bigger cities and need to slam on those car brakes more frequently. 

#2 Flushing the brake fluid. 

In order for your car brakes to work properly, you’ll need Clermont Toyota brake fluid to stop properly. Brake fluid also helps rust not build up in the lines, and for your car brakes to move fluidly. However, you won’t need this Clermont Toyota auto service every time! You’ll only need to have this auto service done every couple of years or if there’s a leak. 

#3 Bleed the brake line. 

In addition to flushing the brake fluid, we’ll bleed the brake line. Oxygen and moisture can get trapped in your brake line and make your Toyota car not brake as it normally should. This is another Clermont Toyota brake service that you’ll need every 2-3 years. 

#4 Replace or upgrade auto parts. 

The last thing that our expert auto service technicians will do is replace or upgrade any auto parts that you need (with your permission of course). If you upgrade your auto parts, then you’ll be able to get more life out of your Toyota car. In addition to replacing your brake pads, we can replace the rotors, too! If you’re unsure if your brakes need to get replaced, then there are some telltale signs that you’ll notice. Be sure to listen for any unsettling sounds, brakes feeling soft, taking longer to stop, and any obvious wear and tear that you can see. We can always diagnose a sound for you, too!
