At Earnhardt Lexus, we encourage our customers to know the basics of their car's operation, especially familiarity with sensors which light when a service appointment is needed. If the anti-lock brake (ABS) sensor is lit or your car has any other brake issues, it is a warning sign your vehicle should be inspected by an Earnhardt Lexus service professional for possible ABS brake repair in Phoenix AZ.

TYPICAL SIGNS YOU NEED BRAKE REPAIR

• Grinding brakes
• Squealing brakes
• Strange vibrations when braking
• Loss of brake pressure
• ABS or Brake Light

WHAT COMPLETE BRAKE SERVICE SHOULD INCLUDE:

ABS Sensor

If the ABS sensor is lit, a diagnostic will be run to check the anti-lock system. The service professional may run this anyway to make sure all of the ABS is in good working order. There are several components that will be checked during the scheduled service appointment.

Brake Fluid Level

The service professional will check the level and condition of your car’s brake fluid which is used in your hydraulic brake system. If needed, the brake fluid will be replaced.

Brake Pad Replacement

Brake pads are often the most worn parts of the system. They get heated up and become thin with use. The pads should be checked at least every 6,000 miles and must be replaced with the proper kind for your vehicle’s make and model.

Brake Rotors or Discs

Brake rotors will be inspected with the brake pads. Both are in contact when the brakes are used. Your car’s rotors should have a smooth surface. If your technician finds upon inspection that the rotors are no longer smooth, they can be resurfaced. If resurfacing won’t work, the rotor will be replaced. New pads will be reinstalled after getting rotors resurfaced.

Brake Sensor

A scan tool can be used with your car’s diagnostic connector to note any trouble codes associated with the brake system.

Lines and Master Cylinder

The master cylinder and the brake lines move brake fluid from the reservoir to each brake. Your Earnhardt service technician will check for any signs of a leak.

BRAKE CARE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Keeping a strict maintenance schedule for your car is the way to make sure you and your family are safe when driving. The Lexus manual recommends a service appointment at 6 months/5,000 miles and 12 months/10,000 miles.
