MAZDA Service for Brake Safety Awareness Month

August is Brake Safety Awareness Month, so here at Paretti Mazda, we want to remind our customers how vital brake maintenance and care are. Now is a great time to schedule an appointment at our Mazda service center and learn more about how the brakes in your vehicle work hard to keep you safe.

Important Brake System Parts

When you press down on the brake pedals, several Mazda parts have to work together to bring you to a stop. Your braking system includes components like:

• The master brake cylinder
• Brake lines
• Brake pads
• Calipers

Many of these components will require maintenance or replacement at some point, and our factory-trained mechanics can help you keep an eye on them.

Signs You Need Brake Maintenance

Your car will often give you some signs that you need brake maintenance and some new OEM parts from our Mazda service center. Look out for issues like:

• Strange noises: You should be pretty familiar with the sounds that your car normally makes. If you suddenly hear screeching or grinding noises, that usually means a problem with a part like the brake pads.
• Vibration: If you feel excess vibration when you push down the brake pedal, you may need brake service or maintenance.
• Pedal feels soft: If you push down on the brake pedal and it feels soft or “spongy,” that could indicate a problem with part of your braking system.
