The Brake Testing Process
When inspecting your vehicle’s brakes, we’ll conduct a series of checks to see which individual parts of the braking system are potentially experiencing issues. To do this, we’ll have to remove your car’s tires, because the brake pads are located behind those units and are one the most pivotal parts of your vehicle’s ability to successfully slow down. Along with conducting visual inspections of various pieces of hardware, we’ll also test the responsiveness of the brakes to see if there are any abnormalities in performance. For example, the brake pedal may look perfectly fine at a glance, but if it feels spongy and soft when you press down on it, then that’s always a cause for concern.
Brake Repair and Replacement
The brake pads that we briefly mentioned earlier are often one of the culprits of poor performance due to how much wear and tear they experience throughout their lifespan. If it’s been a significant amount of time since you last had the brake pads changed, then they could be long overdue for replacements. Another potential detractor from your ability to enjoy smooth travels along to Switchyard Park and other destinations is low brake fluid levels. While this commonly occurs over the course of driving many miles, a brake fluid leak can also lead to the issue arising more quickly than it should. That’s why we always advise our customers to check the underside of their vehicles for any signs of leaking liquid, as it could be the result of a leak. In that case, you’ll want to bring your Mazda to our Service Department as soon as possible.
Tips for Maximizing Brake Lifespan
You can get the most out of your car’s braking system by treating it with care. This means taking your time when commuting to work on Route 45 and avoiding situations where you have to brake suddenly to come to a quick stop, as that will limit the amount of unnecessary strain placed on certain parts. However, your driving habits are only one side of the equation when it comes to maintaining quality brakes. You also have to make sure you’re staying up to date with your vehicle’s maintenance timeline. You can consult the Owner’s Manual for the most accurate information about how often certain service work needs to be performed, and that will allow you to mitigate the likelihood of parts failing due to age. If you need an expert to help you find these details, then feel free to contact the team here at Royal South Mazda!

Each time was an enjoyable experience.
“ I didn't buy my car here but sent it for regular maintenance a few times. Each time was an enjoyable experience. They were always friendly and never tried to sell me stuff I didn't need. I was sad when I got a new car and had to find another dealership for services! ”

Service was the best I have had since having a car in the last 35 years.
“ Service was the best I have had since having a car in the last 35 years. I did not have an appointment and they got me in for service. Everyone from the Service writer to the service tech was professional and nice to work with. Price for my oil change and inspection was very competitive and worth the 5-star service I recieved. They also sent me a Video of the service so I could see what was completed...Just top tier in my book. I will continue to go there with my MX-5 until it's dying day. ”
Everyone is very nice, helpful, and understanding from a phone call all the way to leaving the lot.
“ Everyone is very nice, helpful, and understanding from a phone call all the way to leaving the lot. I brought car in for an inspection, I LOVED the explanation video that was sent to me of the inspection. Not only did it make me feel a little more a part of the process, it gave me an excellent run down of everything that needed done and an accessible means of sharing with those who understand cars better than I do. Thank you very much! ”
“ Service department is great! Easy to make an appointment and they have always been ready for me at my appointment time. They have been respectful of my time and very thorough in their services. For even a basic service they do a nicely comprehensive check on the car and send you a video of, all the things they checked it’s very cool. I highly recommend them. ”
