The Components of Your Brake System

Your brake system is one of the most important components of your vehicle. It offers you the peace of mind you want and need and the ability to stop the vehicle in an instant. Knowing how your brake system operates can help you to better determine if there is a brake problem down the road.

One of the components of your brake system is the brake calipers. The calipers are responsible for squeezing the brake pads directly against the brake rotors which allows your luxury vehicle to stop. The brake pads grip the brake rotors to stop the wheels from spinning. The brake pads, often referred to as the shoes of the brake system, connect with the brake rotors to help slowly stop your Maserati model.

Your brake system also features hoses that carry fluid to the calipers from the main brake line. The team at our Maserati dealership in Tampa, FL, fully inspects all components, including the hoses to ensure that brake fluid is lubricating the components of the system and to ensure you don’t have any cracks, leaks or deterioration within the hoses.

The Signs That Indicate You Need Brake Repairs

When it’s time for Maserati brake service, the most common sign is when your brake light illuminates or your check engine light is on. The service team at Maserati Tampa will hook up your luxury vehicle to a diagnostic system to determine if you do in fact need brake repairs or if there is another mechanical issue with your vehicle.

Additional signs that you need Maserati brake service and repairs is when you find it more difficult to stop. This may involve having to press the brake pedal down with more pressure or when you find that it takes longer to slow down or stop your vehicle. Some drivers notice vibrations on the steering wheel or the entire vehicle wobbles or rocks when you accelerate. You may also need a brake inspection or brake repairs if you hear a loud scraping, squealing or grinding sound when you try to stop.

Committed to complete car care, you can count on the team at our Maserati dealership in Tampa, FL, to fully inspect all components, including the brake pads, rotors and calipers, to determine if you need to replace brakes, a brake fluid flush or a brake pad replacement. Schedule a service appointment right away to avoid the risk of more damage to your overall brake system if you notice any of these signs.

The Recommended Timeline for Brake Service

How do you know when to schedule Maserati brake service or repairs? Primarily, if you notice any signs or symptoms that your vehicle is experiencing brake problems, contact us right away. Each time you schedule routine maintenance, you can count on our technicians to perform a full brake inspection to ward off any brake problems down the road, but on average, most vehicles need new brakes between 30,000 to 60,000 miles.

On average, the front brakes will wear out before the rear brakes. When performing Maserati brake service, our team will evaluate the wear and tear of your brake components and consult with you about any needed brake repairs. In some cases, brake service may just include swapping out the brake pads. These pads can wear down and cause damage to other components of your system.

When replacing rotors, the typical timeline is usually by 70,000 miles. Rotors are usually replaced two at a time. If you need to replace rotors sooner than the recommended timeline, this usually stems from driving habits or rough road conditions where you drive on a regular basis.

Maserati brake service may also include a brake fluid flush. Your brake fluid helps to lubricate the moving parts of your system. If sludge, debris or particles have blocked lubrication, our service team will suggest a fluid flush. Know that when performing any type of Maserati brake service and repair, we use only genuine OEM brake parts supplied by our Parts Center on site.
