Mopar Brake Services

Brake pads, rotors, and fluid require routine inspections and maintenance services to keep the braking system working properly. Here is an overview of routine brake maintenance services at Grieger’s Motor Sales Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram:

• Brake System Inspection: Brake system inspections are performed by a certified technician that assesses all parts thoroughly. Inspections are ideal for getting to the bottom of strange noises or faulty braking when a vehicle requires a greater distance to stop.
• Brake Pad Replacement: You can expect to replace worn brake pads when they are 3mm or .1 inch thick. This is barely any bad left and is important for safety. Schedule service if the brake pad warning light on or you hear an eardrum-piercing sound when braking.
• Brake Rotor Resurfacing/Replacement: Brake rotor maintenance comes down to resurfacing the disc or replacing it. Minor blemishes to the disc surface can be removed via resurfacing service. Excessive cracking, grooving, or warping can only be fixed with a replacement service. Brake system inspections at the recommended miles are often the difference between rotors getting resurfacing service versus those that must be replaced.
• Brake Fluid Exchange: Hydraulic brake fluid requires routine inspections with exchange service when it loses integrity. The usual cause of defective brake fluid is contamination but it will also require maintenance if it leaks from a worn part. Brake fluid exchange is about removing the old fluid, inspecting the braking system thoroughly, and installing fresh genuine Mopar OEM dot 3 brake fluid to the specified capacity.
