When to Get Brake Service
Ford vehicles are typically designed to last, but it’s still helpful to know how to recognize when your vehicle needs service or parts replacements. Here are a few signs that it’s time to replace or repair the brakes in your Ford car:
- Your vehicle’s stopping distance is longer. If you're noticing that it takes much longer than usual to bring your car to a complete stop, take your vehicle to our service center for an inspection. Responsive brakes are key to keeping you safe on the road, and our expert service team can diagnose any issues.
- You hear squeaking, grinding, or squealing. Unusual sounds indicate that parts in your vehicle are beginning to grind or slip. This is usually because the brake pads on your Ford Edge have worn down and need to be replaced.
- Your vehicle vibrates when braking. When your vehicle vibrates while braking, you may have an alignment issue or a complication with your brake rotors. Either way, it’s essential to your safety and comfort to have your brakes inspected and repaired.
- Your vehicle pulls to one side. If you notice your vehicle starting to pull to one side, something may be uneven in your tires, alignment, or suspension. If your vehicle pulls when braking, your brakes are wearing down unevenly, which may be an indication of a larger problem that should be addressed as soon as possible.
Keeping your brakes in good shape is what our Ford service team is trained to do. Schedule an appointment with Helfman Ford today to get the Ford brake service you and your vehicle deserve.
