Volkswagen vehicles offer outstanding safety and reliability. To maintain the safety and reliability of your Volkswagen, you need to keep the brake system performing at its best. One of the key components of the brake system is the brake pads, which tend to wear with regular use. Southern Team Volkswagen offers brake pad inspection and replacement service by certified and Volkswagen-trained automotive technicians. Our facility is located in Roanoke, VA, conveniently close to Cave Spring, Vinton, Salem, and Hollins.
Brake pads are made from high-friction material to provide the required friction to stop or slow the wheels from moving when the brakes are applied. When you press the brake pedal, the brake pads squeeze into the brake rotors. This mechanism causes the brake pads to gradually wear out. When they reach their minimum recommended thickness, the brake pads need to be replaced; otherwise, they won’t be able to perform as required. In severe cases of worn-out brake pads, you might even experience brake failure. Another issue with worn-out brake pads is that they can damage the brake rotors, requiring costly repairs or replacement.
At Southern Team Volkswagen, we carry VW OEM brake parts, including brake pads made to offer excellent longevity and performance. We recommend regular inspection of the brake pad thickness and condition. Our technicians will check the front and rear brake pads to determine if your VW requires new brake pads.
Keep in mind that these signs can indicate an issue with other brake system components; therefore, if you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should get a comprehensive brake system inspection at Southern Team Volkswagen.
