Being able to come to a complete stop without incident on Houston’s roads requires functioning brake pads. This important part of your car absorbs the kinetic energy propelled by your moving vehicle, which allows you to stop. It’s a fascinating system that wouldn’t work without brake pads to cushion the energy.
Do your brakes grind or squeak while driving in the heavy stop-and-go traffic of Houston? If so, it sounds like you need front brake pad replacement. Brake pads function to absorb the constant motion of stopping and starting. When these begin to wear down, your brakes may get noisy, alerting you that your Volkswagen needs service. Otherwise, you risk damaging your rotors, which is another added expense that’s easily avoidable.
When you service your car or SUV at Volkswagen Clear Lake in Houston, you can be assured we use OEM VW parts every time. They come straight from Volkswagen, who made the original parts for your model vehicle and are identical to what you already have on your car. You’ll want to be sure to use our guaranteed parts rather than those you find at a discount auto store.
Is there a difference between the front and rear brakes? Yes. The front brakes are designed to handle more heat/friction because they are more responsible for making your car stop. On the other hand, rear brakes provide for about 40 percent of the force used for stopping your Volkswagen. Overall, however, how your front and rear brake performance difference depends on your vehicle’s make and model. It’s also important to take note that you should have your front and rear brakes inspected every time you have an oil change or every two years. Depending on how often you use your vehicle, front brake pads should be replaced about every 50,000 miles.
Inspecting and replacing front brake pads is performed by certified technicians who use OEM VW parts. At our service center, you can expect guaranteed service every time you bring your Volkswagen in. If you’re considering replacing your own brake pads to save money, think again. Wouldn’t you rather entrust your stopping power to a trained technician than through your own trial and error? Brakes are too important for your safety to risk anything going wrong. To inspect or replace your front brake pads, visit Volkswagen Clear Lake in Houston, TX.
