Dodge Brakes Commonly Asked Questions
1. How often should I check my brakes?
Brakes should be regularly examined to assess whether brake servicing is needed. An interval approach can be taken - for example, testing the brakes every 15000 miles - or you can have your mechanic do an inspection with every oil change.
4. Is one brake type more important than another?
Both brakes are critical for the proper functioning of your vehicle. To distinguish their roles, remember that your rear brakes provide the power for your emergency brake system, and aid with reducing the stopping distance. They also help to extend the life of the front brakes by sharing the brake load. You'll find that rear brakes last longer than front brakes as they aren't subjected to as much pressure as the front brakes.
6. How exactly does the braking system work?
When the brake pedal on a vehicle is pressed, several things happen in the background. A message is initiated to the cylinders telling them that they need to supply brake fluid to the calipers - responsible for powering the brake pads. Once the calipers receive this power, they put pressure on the brake pads. This resulting pressure from the brake pads then causes optimal amounts of friction in the rotors, bringing the vehicle to a safe, precise stop.

Can't recommend this dealership enough. In a time when dealers are posting fake prices/incentives and doing ridiculous things to get you in a door, Laura is up front every step of the way. I worked with Nick who is honestly the nicest salesman I've ever worked with. I'll absolutely buy my next one from here too!

I worked with Don and Mike to purchase a Ram and the service was excellent. I bought the truck for our Missouri location from my office in California and the paperwork was mailed to me quickly and everything was handled smoothly. I would definitely buy another vehicle from Laura Auto Group again.
