VW models are also known for their impressive safety, and the brake system is among the most important safety features in your VW.

Find out more here before stopping by Southern Team Volkswagen!
In most modern Volkswagen models, you will find disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels. When you step on the brake pedal in a vehicle equipped with disc brakes, the brake calipers will squeeze together, which causes the brake pads to press against the brake rotors. Since the brake lining in the brake pads is softer than the brake rotors, it will wear down over time. When it is worn enough, you will need to have the brake pads replaced.
It’s easy to think of a brake pad replacement as replacing all the brake pads at the same time, but the front brakes and rear brakes often wear down at different rates. The brakes in the front deal with more pressure, since weight shifts forward when you stop. Because of this, your rear brakes may not need to be replaced as often. At Southern Team Volkswagen, we will check your front and rear brakes and let you know whether they need to be replaced. When the time comes for a rear brake pad replacement, you can trust the pros at Southern Team Volkswagen. We use OEM VW brake pads, and our technicians will work with quality and efficiency.
