Why is Brake Service Important?

Your brakes are one of the most important safety features in your vehicle. Properly caring for your brakes helps to keep them responsive and reliable on the open road. It also reduces the need for costly repairs by repairing and replacing worn or damaged parts early, before they can damage surrounding Jaguar parts and systems.

How Often Do I Need Brake Service?

You always want to check the manual for information on your next service appointment. That said, you'll want to schedule routine brake service appointments for your vehicle between 12,000 to 15,000 miles. You'll need more significant service, such as replacements and fluid fill-ups, between 25,000 to 65,000 miles.

What Are the Signs I Need Brake Service?

It's also important to be able to recognize the signs that your vehicle is in need of service. Bring your car down to our Northfield, IL Jaguar dealership if you notice any of the following:

• You hear grinding or squealing when braking
• Your stopping distance gets longer
• The brake pad feels spongey underfoot
• Your vehicle pulls to one side when braking
• You feel shaking or vibrating when braking

How Do I Reduce the Need for Service Between Appointments?

There are many steps you can take to protect your vehicle's brakes between service appointments. Consider your driving habits and try to adjust to brake more lightly and coast when possible.
