  • Brakes feel spongy or hard to press down

Brake Service at Griffith Ford Seguin

You rely on your brakes to help you stop at a stoplight or when someone pulls out in front of you. Keep them in prime working condition with regular inspections at Griffith Ford Seguin. Our service department provides a full range of brake services to ensure this system works when you need it to.
Your brakes are more than just a single part. This system is made up of several components that all work together to stop a heavy vehicle in a matter of seconds. The brake pads take the most wear as you press down on the brake pedal. The calipers and rotors are also critical to getting your Ford vehicle stopped. Drums or discs are important components and need to be checked periodically. Brake lines allow fluid to flow through which provides the power necessary to stop the vehicle. When any part of the braking system stops working, it can cause an accident. You rely on your brakes to stop your Ford vehicle, and you must care for them to keep them in prime condition.

How to Know When Your Brakes Need to be Replaced

You press down on your brake pedal multiple times with each journey, especially when driving through town. Over time, your pads will wear down, making them less effective at stopping. You can take your vehicle into Griffith Ford Seguin for a brake inspection. You can also pay attention to other indications that your brakes need servicing.
  • You must press the brake pedal closer to the floor before it engages.
  • It takes longer for the vehicle to come to a complete stop.
  • You hear a grinding or squealing sound when you apply the brakes.
If you notice any of these signs, stop driving your vehicle and take it in for an inspection. You don’t want to continue to drive a vehicle that has brakes that need to be replaced.
The service technicians at Griffith Ford Seguin will take care of your brake system and replace the brake pads right away. If you notice any other issues, they can check the other components in the brake system to determine what needs to be replaced. Let Griffith Ford Seguin keep your Ford vehicle out on the road and stopping quickly.
