Brake System Repair And Servicing

Your Car Relies Heavily On Its Brake System

Here at Auto Service 1 in Chicago, IL, we know the importance of a functioning brake system all too well. On a daily basis, you and your vehicle rely on a hydraulic system that works to slow or completely stop motion in your car, truck, or SUV. Each time you hit the brakes in your vehicle, you witness this system’s hydraulic unit sending brake fluid through the brake hoses into the caliper, creating pressure on the caliper piston. Through this applied pressure, your vehicle, no matter its size or weight, can safely and quickly slow or stop when you need it to. A functioning brake system is essential to safe driving, so any issues you begin to notice should be remedied as soon as possible. Auto Service 1 is happy to take a look at your car’s brake system and make any repairs needed, all while you wait in our convenient lounge. Although often overlooked, you need brakes just as much as your car’s engine.

Common Brake System Issues And Repairs

When repairing or replacing brake system components, there are a few common culprits to watch for. Typically, you will experience symptoms like your car braking to one side, steering wheel vibration, rattling or squealing when stopping, leaking brake fluid, or even a burning smell while you slow or halt your vehicle. These can be attributed to things including a blown brake line, low brake fluid, a seized caliper, a bad master cylinder, or something as simple as a loose component inside your brake system, all things we can fix. Because of how essential your brake system is to everyday driving, you should have it inspected annually and make necessary emergency repair appointments as soon as possible.  By calling our team at 773-235-3323 or stopping into Auto Service 1 here 2844 N Kedzie Ave Chicago, IL 60618, we can get your car back to braking normally and keep you and your passengers safe on the road.
