While every part of your vehicle is important, the brake system in your Volkswagen is something that you should have inspected as part of your routine maintenance. Being able to stop in time, whether you're cruising through Bernardsville or you're showing off your new VW Jetta, is an important part of any drive and one that should be taken care of frequently.
When Will I Know My Car Needs A Brake Repair?
While most technicians suggest having your brakes inspected or serviced at every tire rotation or tire change, it is imperative to contact our Paul Miller Volkswagen service center if you notice any of the following brake system red flags:
- Shuddering - If you get to a stop sign, apply the brakes, and your VW Passat shudders to a stop, something's up with your brake system. You may need new brake fluid, or it might be a larger brake repair. Either way, it's best to let our technicians take a closer look.
- Squealing - The squealing will start in low, but gradually grow over time. This is normally a sign that your brake pads are being worn down and the metal rotors are scraping against the metal calipers. If you notice squealing whenever you use the brakes, it's time to schedule a service appointment.
- Spongy Feeling - Does your foot go all the way to the floor when you step on the brake pedal? Do your brakes feel "spongy" when you use them? This is a sign that you should have your brakes inspected.
- Dashboard Warning Light - Many of the latest Volkswagen cars and SUVs will warn drivers when the braking system requires a repair. Don't ignore the dashboard warning light, as doing say may result in dangerous circumstances. Instead, schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
