Be Car Care Aware

 What you should know about brake system safety

Here's what every Subaru owner should know.

When it comes to safety, few things are more important than your Subaru braking system.  To understand why routine, professional brake system maintenance is so crucial - and when your vehicle might need it - check out the following Frequently Asked Questions about Genuine Kinney Subaru Brake Parts and Services.

  Why Choose Genuine Kinney Subaru Brake Parts?

  • Brakes are too important to safety to risk generic "aftermarket" replacement parts.  The high quality and precision of Genuine Kinney Subaru Brake Parts helps ensure that your vehicle keeps operating as safely and reliably as it did when it was new.
  • Since Genuine Kinney Subaru Brake Parts are engineered to meet your vehicle's exact factory specifications, they are identical to the brakes that were installed on your car when it was brand new.  Aftermarket brake parts are often manufactured with generic specifications.
  • Genuine Kinney Subaru Brake Parts are manufactured from high quality materials, using precision manufacturing methods.  Aftermarket brake part quality can be inferior - and the lower price reflects it.
Why Choose Your Kinney Subaru Dealer for Brake Service?

  • The work will be performed by skilled, factory-trained technicians who work on Kinney Subaru vehicles everyday.  We are Subaru experts, so there's no learning curve.
  • We have dedicated equipment for servicing your brakes, which ensures that the job is done right the first time.
  • Installation includes a 12-month, unlimited mileage warranty that covers parts and labor.  Most other repair shops or aftermarket parts don't provide this protection.

 What are the Warning Signs That My Brakes Need Service?

  • Your vehicle pulls to one side during braking.
  • Brake pedal pulsates when you apply the brakes.
  • Brake pedal feels "mushy."
  • Stepping on the brake pedal or normal driving causes a noise.
  • The master cylinder is repeatedly low on brake fluid.
If you're noticing any of these warning signs, it's time to have your Kinney Subaru dealer's service professionals inspect and diagnose your braking system.
 
How Long Should Your Brakes Last?

That depends on several factors that contribute to braking system wear and tear.  These include:
  • Driving habits and operating conditions.
  • Type of vehicle and type of brake lining materials.
  • Multiple system components - pads, rotors or drums - can wear at different rates.
The only way to know for sure is to have your brakes inspected by a professional technician - ideally at your local Kinney Subaru dealership.

What are the Dangers of Delaying Brake Service?

  • Severe brake wear will eventually result in metal-to-metal contact.  Once this happens, rotor or drum replacement is usually unavoidable.
  • Brake failure can possibly cause loss of vehicle control.
  • Worn or ineffective brakes could cause you to fail your state's motor vehicle inspection.
