Honda Brake Service in Los Angeles

Keeping your new Honda up-to-date on routine service and maintenance ensures you’re always prepared for the next adventure. One of the most essential components for a safe journey is your vehicle’s braking system.

No one should be hitting the road without functional brakes that they can depend on. At Honda North Hollywood, our technicians have the experience and skill to inspect, repair, and replace faulty brakes.

How Your Brakes Work

Braking systems are simple and incredibly important. Imagine a car that wasn’t capable of a controlled stop.

Your braking system begins with the simple push of a brake pedal. This action forces brake fluid through the lines which creates hydraulic pressure and drives the piston into the master cylinder. Consequently, your calipers will squeeze down and force your brake pads against the rotor. The friction between the pads and the rotor is what actually helps your Honda to come to a complete stop.

When to Visit for Honda Brake Service

Your brakes should be inspected by a Honda technician at least once a year and replaced around every 30,000 to 70,000 miles depending on the make and model. There are some telltale signs of brake damage that drivers can keep an eye and ear out for.

Brake Light On: The most obvious of signs; your brake light indicates that it’s time for routine maintenance or that there’s a serious problem going on
Squealing and Squeaking: Sometimes brake systems just have a foreign object lodged between them and sometimes the squealing noises are caused by worn-out brake pads
Grinding Noises: Grinding noises are typically a result of the brake pad scraping against other metals and should be serviced right away
Vibrating When Braking: Shaking when braking is usually caused by an uneven rotor which is responsible for stopping your wheels from spinning
Leaking Fluid: Brake fluid is required to create hydraulic pressure and force the braking pad against the rotor

Other indicators of brake issues include strange odors when braking and a car that pulls to one side. Our team at Honda North Hollywood can accurately diagnose any brake issues before offering efficient solutions for all Honda models.
