Tips for Making Sure Your Car Has the Right Brakes
Brakes are one of the most important safety features on a car, so making sure a car has the right brakes is essential. And although new cars have to meet braking standards, replacement brake parts are not regulated to any specific performance or design standards.
Today's vehicles are equipped with unique braking systems and installing components not tested and designed for your particular vehicle may impact other parts of the system and cause problems. Taking your vehicle back to the dealer for brake service is one way to make sure you have the right components installed. Original manufacturer trained technicians go through extensive brake service training, including the vehicle's complex braking technologies such as anti-lock brake and electronic stability control systems.
Industry experts also recommend looking for a certification mark on brake products to ensure that they are intended to meet your vehicle's performance needs.
