Brake Service Advice
Your vehicle's brakes
When you press your brake pedal, a complex system goes into motion to help keep you and your passengers safe. That's why it's so important to have highly skilled technicians service your brakes. At Donley Ford of Shelby, we have the right parts, tools and certified-trained technicians to take care of your every need.
How can I tell if my brakes need servicing?
The brake system is one of the most important safety mechanisms in your vehicle. It is necessary to have it inspected regularly - a minimum of every six months or roughly every 6,000 miles - to ensure proper performance.
Here are some common signs that your brake system needs servicing:
- Brakes feel spongy or hard to press down
- Squealing or grinding noises
- Your car pulls to one side
