Hyundai cars are built to last, and Conicelli Hyundai has many excellent Hyundai models for sale. The vehicles do require routine maintenance, as parts wear out over time and use. Brake pads generally wear out after about 30,000 miles on a new Elantra. Some models require service earlier. A Santa Fe might require brake work at 20,000 miles. Check the vehicle's owner's manual for details. Be aware of other factors impacting brake performance. Driving in start/stop traffic, for example, wears down brakes faster.
Honestly, each car on the road needs an inspection to reveal when brake work is necessary.
The Value of an Inspection
Norristown drivers rely on properly working brakes for safety. When brakes start to go, the ability to slow down and stop a vehicle becomes compromised. Serious accidents may occur when brakes fail, so it is important to get the brakes checked and replaced long in advance of any problems. Getting the brakes inspected every six months seems advisable. Tire rotation time presents an opportunity for a full brake inspection, as the technicians remove the tires to rotate them. Removing the tires provides more access to the brake system.
Inspection Look at Multiple Parts
Brake pads wear out fairly quickly due to friction. The pads press against the rotors to slow and stop the wheels. Rotors also suffer wear and may require replacing when the brake pads do.
There are other parts to check out, including the master cylinder, the calipers, and more. Brake lines carry fluid to create hydraulic pressure. If brake lines and hoses leak fluid, the brake system won't work. Brake requires changing and checking, too. Refer to your Hyundai owners manual for suggested inspection and replacement intervals for all parts.
Warning Signs
If warning signs arise when driving in Norristown, consider it wise to get the brakes checked. A vibrating brake pedal, squealing or screeching sounds from the pads, a brake pedal that goes all the way to the floor, a slower than usual stop, and other apparent problems should never be ignored.
