What Happens During a Brake Service?

October 17, 2024

October is Brakes for Breasts Month at Wayside Garage!

Your vehicle’s brakes are one of the most critical components when it comes to safety. Whether you're driving around town or hitting the highway, properly functioning brakes can be the difference between a close call and a serious accident. That’s why at Wayside Garage, we’re excited to support the Brakes for Breasts campaign this October. This month, you can get a free set of brake pads or brake shoes when you schedule a brake service, and we will donate 10% of all brake repair proceeds to help fund breast cancer vaccine research.


Why Are Your Brakes So Important?

Your brakes are what allow your car to stop quickly and safely. Over time, wear and tear from daily driving can cause brake pads to thin out, reducing their effectiveness. If left unchecked, worn brake pads can lead to further damage to your braking system, such as rotor wear or even brake failure. Here are some signs that your brakes might need attention:


  • Squeaking or grinding noises when you brake.
  • A vibrating steering wheel during braking.
  • A spongy or soft brake pedal.
  • Your car pulls to one side when braking.


Ignoring these signs can put you and others on the road at risk, which is why we always recommend staying on top of regular brake maintenance.


What Happens During a Brake Service?

At Wayside Garage, our certified technicians provide thorough brake inspections and services to ensure your vehicle is safe. Here's what you can expect from a brake service:


  1. Brake Pad Replacement – If your brake pads are worn out, we’ll replace them with high-quality ones to restore your car’s stopping power.
  2. Brake Fluid Check – Brake fluid is crucial for your braking system to work properly. We’ll check the fluid levels and ensure there are no leaks.
  3. Rotor Inspection – Your rotors work with your brake pads to slow down your vehicle. We’ll inspect them for wear and smoothness to make sure your stopping power is at its best.


Why Choose Wayside Garage for Your Brake Service?

At Wayside Garage, we take pride in offering professional brake repair services to ensure your vehicle remains safe on the road. As part of our Brakes for Breasts promotion, you’ll receive one set of free brake pads or brake shoes, and 10% of your brake repair cost will go towards breast cancer research.
