As the parts of your Subaru car that bring it to a complete stop, brakes are essential for both safety and performance. Brake issues are not something to be taken lightly, and here at Herb Gordon Subaru, our mechanics specialize in Subaru brake repair.
Your car’s brakes consists of more than just the pedal, and thus, there are a few different types of brake repair that can be performed. Here is an overview.
Brake Pad Replacement
One of the most basic aspects of Subaru brake repair is the pads. Generally, brake pad replacement is recommended every 20,000 miles, while some pads can last up to 50,000 miles. Most newer Subaru cars come with a wear indicator that lets you know when it is time to replace your brake pads.
Brake Line Replacement
Brake lines carry the brake fluid from the master cylinder throughout the brake system. Even a tiny hole in your brake lines can cause contamination of the brake fluid. Sometimes a brake line can be patched, but if you have a bigger hole, it will need to replaced with an OEM Subaru part.
Master Cylinder Repair
The master cylinder component of car brakes regulates the pressure of the fluid throughout the entire system. While the master cylinder typically never needs to be replaced, things do go wrong from time to time.
Brake Line Bleeding
This refers to the process of draining brake fluid out in order to replace it with new fluid. This is required when the brake lines get air bubbles or dirt in the system. If your brakes require a lot of pressure to make your car stop, your brakes might need to be bled.
