New Volkswagen Brake Pads in Fort Worth, TX

At Autobahn Volkswagen Fort Worth, we are Volkswagen brake system experts with significant hands-on experience performing brake pad replacement for all VW cars and SUVs. If your vehicle is due for routine brake pad service or you notice strange noises when braking, we invite you to visit our certified VW service department for a brake inspection and pad replacement as needed to restore powerful braking at specifications.

Inspecting and Installing New Brake Pads

With the average brake pad lasting approximately 50,000 miles, there are driving factors that can help brake pads last longer and other factors that cause rapid wear. Give the difficulty in predicting how long brake pads will last, Volkswagen generally recommends frequent brake system inspections including brake pad wear evaluations that identify worn brake pads before they can cause secondary problems.

Given the essential nature of the brake pads to passenger safety, we encourage our customers to schedule service in response to the symptoms of worn brake pads regardless of the mileage interval. Here are the most common symptoms of worn brake pads:

Eardrum-piercing noises when braking

Burning odor while driving

Vehicle needs more distance to stop

Shaking or vibration when braking

Inspecting and Installing New Brake Pads

Brake pad replacement begins with a certified technician in a state-of-the-art facility with an adjacent parts department stocked with the original equipment brake pads needed to finish the service. The wheel assemblies are removed to expose the brake system; the worn brake pads are removed and the brake system gets inspected. If all is well, the technician installs original equipment brake pads to secure specifications.

Complete Volkswagen Braking System Maintenance From Autobahn in Fort Worth, TX

Every Volkswagen has a braking system that relies on the hydraulic brake fluid to create resistance between the brake pads and rotors through a powerful clamping action when the brake pedal is pushed. Brake pads require a design allowing them to wear to prevent damages to the other brake components. It is because brake pads wear that they require replacement maintenance to ensure that the brake system functions properly. Volkswagen generally recommends brake inspections at specified intervals with replacement service applied when little pad remains.
