When it comes to automotive safety features, most drivers in and around Hudson, IA likely think of things like seat belts or airbags, but brakes are perhaps the most important safety feature of all. Imagine what it would feel like to need your brakes to work, only to have them quit on you and cause an accident. Nobody wants that, but keeping your vehicle in working condition requires an occasional brake check at Bill Colwell Ford, including brake pad (and possibly rotor) replacements when necessary.
How to Spot Worn-Out Brakes
If you are taking your Ford vehicle or model from another brand in for regular service, our service experts will likely spot a worn-down brake long before you experience any of the warning signs as a driver. However, if you haven’t been in for service in a while and notice a grinding sound and sensation whenever you use your brakes, that’s a sure indicator that it’s time for a replacement. Your brakes may also feel squishy or may cause your steering wheel to shudder. Any of these are reasons to set up a service appointment at the Quick Lane Tire & Auto Center at Bill Colwell Ford as soon as possible.
Replacements with Motorcraft® Brake Pads and Drums
Once you’re in the shop, our service techs will use the same Motorcraft® brake pads and drums as you originally had in your vehicle. These parts were designed and engineered for Ford vehicles specifically and are backed by a Lifetime Brake Pad Guarantee. If your brake pads wear down to less than three millimeters, we can replace them for as long as you own your vehicle.
Keep an eye out for any brake issues so you can continue driving your vehicle safely, and if you need help with replacements, simply call us here at Bill Colwell Ford so we can help!
