Driving is a pleasure, but sometimes you have to stop, and for that, you need Mercedes-Benz brake service. Ensuring your brakes are in top performing condition is an absolute must for a safe ride, and an understated arrival. Bob King Autohaus Mercedes-Benz in Wilmington, NC, offers the maintenance services you need to stay on the road.
How Car Brakes Work
While Mercedes-Benz SUVs and cars are masterpieces of mechanics and technology, all brakes basically work the same way.
When you press the brake pedal, a master cylinder releases hydraulic fuel into the hydraulic system, which multiples the braking power. Brake calipers grip the brake pads, causing friction with the brake rotors. The rotors help the wheels come to a stop.
When You Need Mercedes-Benz Brake Service
Scheduling regular maintenance services here at our Mercedes-Benz service center will keep your brakes in working order, but if you notice any of the following, you may need brake service sooner rather than later.
If your brakes squeal, it could be your brake pads are wearing down, allowing metal to grind against metal.
If it takes longer to stop, or you have to press harder on the pedal, that's an indication of a potential issue, and a potential safety hazard.
If you notice shaking or vibrations when braking, your brake rotors may be warping.
What Brake Service Includes
When you schedule an appointment for brake service here at your Mercedes-Benz dealership, our trained service technicians will inspect the following brake elements:
- brake pads, rotors, and drum for wear: brake pads are most in need of frequent change
- brake fluid for a sufficient supply and quality: if it's dirty, it may need to be flushed
- brake lines for leaks, and excessive air: if there's too much air in your system, the lines may need to be bled
- brake lights for operation: this inspection includes your dashboard warning lights, and all brake indicator lights on the outside.
The going is always exciting when you're driving a Mercedes-Benz vehicle. And, if you maintain your brakes with regular service appointments, the arriving will be equally impressive, with an easy press of the brake pedal. You can schedule an appointment here on our website, for service at Bob King Autohaus Mercedes-Benz.
