Brake Safety Awareness Month is Time for MAZDA Service

August is Brake Safety Awareness Month. Taking good care of your brakes is always a good idea, but this month can serve as a good reminder to bring your car to our Mazda service center to ensure that it’s operating safely. The Paretti Mazda of Covington technicians are ready to assist you if you need brake maintenance or repairs, and we’re sharing a few reasons to stop by this month.

Important MAZDA Parts

A few different parts must work together when you press down on the brake pedal to bring your vehicle to a stop. You have brake lines that move brake fluid through your car, and brake pads help provide some of the friction needed to slow you down. Then there are the rotors, the calipers, and the master cylinder. All of these Mazda parts require proper care.

When to Visit Our MAZDA Technicians

If there is an issue with your vehicle’s brakes, they often have ways of showing you that it’s time to schedule a service appointment. You want to look out for:

• Any strange noises, like screeching or grinding
• Your car pulls to one side when you brake
• Your brake pedal feels soft or “spongy”
• Your car takes longer to slow down when you brake
• You feel an abnormal amount of vibration when you hit the brakes

Any of these problems could indicate that your brakes need maintenance or repairs and require an immediate service center visit.
