Brake Services for Your Vehicle in
Fergus Falls, MN
Brakes are a crucial safety item, and with consumable parts like
brake pads and brake fluid, your vehicle will need routine maintenance to stay
on top of the brake condition. All vehicles have a recommended brake service
schedule, but when do you actually need replacements or repairs? Brake pads
wear at different rates based on numerous factors like driving habits and the
typical driving conditions in your area, so the range for brake pad replacements
can vary widely between 25,000 and 65,000 miles. The right answer is to replace
brake pads when the frictional material has worn down past the safe thickness.
Continuing to drive on worn-out brake pads will result in decreased stopping
power, which could lead to an accident at worst or start causing damage to the
rotors - a more costly repair.
Our Nelson Auto Center technicians will help you keep tabs on your brakes and all the associated
components at regular maintenance appointments. Most times, this means a
thorough inspection to alert you when you are getting close to a replacement or
need to address any issues that could compromise your safety. Outside of
routine appointments, you should contact our team if you notice any signs of
brake failure.
