When To Schedule Brake Repair Service

As a car owner, keeping your vehicle in top condition is crucial for your safety on the road. One of the most critical components of your vehicle’s safety system is the brakes. At Conaway Motors near Kirkland, we understand the importance of maintaining your vehicle’s brakes. We specialize in brake repair service for domestic, Asian, and European cars, ensuring your safety no matter what you drive.

Understanding Your Brakes’ Lifespan

The lifespan of your brakes varies depending on your driving habits, the environment you drive in, and the type of vehicle you own. Generally, brake pads need replacing every 50,000 miles, but this can range from 25,000 to 70,000 miles. Frequent stop-and-go city driving, for instance, wears brake pads quicker than highway driving. We recommend keeping an eye on your driving patterns to better gauge when your brakes might need attention.

Signs You Need Brake Repair Service

Several indicators suggest it’s time for a brake check:

Squealing or Grinding Noises: These sounds often mean your brake pads are worn out.
Vibrations: If your steering wheel shakes when you brake, it’s likely time for service.
Increased Stopping Distance: Noticeable increases in how long it takes to stop your car can indicate worn brakes.
Brake Light: An illuminated brake light on your dashboard should never be ignored.

Conaway always has our best interest in mind. My salvaged hippie beetle is a pain sometimes, but they treat her with utmost care. Whatever me and my fiance can't fix, Conaway is our first call. They gained our service after another shop price gouged us and kept recommending things it didn't need or couldn't figure things out. We're knowledgeable enough to handle most things, and Conaway is always there to help with the rest. If you need an honest and reliable shop, come here!

Prior coming to Conaway I had a terrible experience getting some repairs done on my car, it was running worse and I was worried it wasnâ€™t going to be able to be fixed. Logan and Sam were both patient and helpful getting my car in for an appointment quickly knowing it was an issue with my transmission. The mechanics were able to diagnose the problems and fix them in a few days. That was many years ago and Iâ€™ve been bringing my car to them since. Eric is the primary mechanic who works on my car and he explains everything I need to know about whatâ€™s going on with my car, itâ€™s an old quirky car so it needs good TLC periodically. I trust their work and know Iâ€™m not getting the run around like I have in the past at other places. I recommend Conaway to my friends and anyone looking for a mechanic. Thank you guy!
