Signs Indicating the Need for Acura Brake Service

Our Acura Service Center is committed to helping you before you even walk through our doors. Maybe you've just purchased a pre-owned Acura vehicle from a private seller. Maybe you've recently purchased your lease and are unsure about when Acura brake replacement is required. Here are some of our most common signs, symptoms, and reasons to come and see us:

Your Acura Vehicle Is New To You

If you've just purchased an Acura vehicle from someone on a local listing, it's always in your best interest to come and see us to get a baseline understanding of immediate, short-term, and long-term maintenance goals. Our multipoint inspections cover everything, including your brakes. So if your system needs attention, we'll tell you when you should see us for your next Acura brake service.

You've Got An ABS Light Or Wear-Level Light Illuminated

Acura vehicles have used advanced braking technologies for over 20 years. So no matter what vintage yours might be from, you'll have monitoring systems like ABS & wear-level sensors. If an ABS light is on, a sensor might be bad. A module might need to be replaced. Or something else within the hub might need attention. If you've got a brake pad wear-level light on, then your issue might be resolved with a new set of Acura brake pads. Either way, we'll identify the issue quickly and always stay in touch with you.

Sounds, Smells, & Shakes

Some other signs indicate you should come and see us for Acura brake service near Dallas. First, if you hear metal on metal every time you use the brakes, your pads are now beyond minimum thickness and are making contact with the rotors. Waiting too long will damage the rotors, so act right away. You should also see us right away if you can smell hot brakes (similar to an acrid electrical type of smell). Lastly, if you feel a pulse at the brake pedal or shimmy at the steering wheel whenever you slow down from higher speeds, you might need additional service to help keep things under control.

Acura Brake Pad Replacement & Other FAQs

By now, you should see that your Acura vehicle may require more than just an Acura brake change. These systems are multi-layered, which means they use mechanical components, hydraulics, computer hardware, and computer software. It's always best to have a trained eye with the right equipment on your side. Lastly, we'd like to share a few other top FAQs to assist you with your needs.

How long do Acura brakes last?: This is the million-dollar question. Acura brake pads are generally designed to last for thousands of miles. Driving style, weather, usage, system age, peripheral component age, and many other factors affect brake pad quality.
How often is brake service required?: Another great question! Your front brakes will generally wear out twice as fast as your rear brakes. This is because all your vehicle's momentum shifts forward under braking & greater force is required (which is also why your front brakes are nearly twice as big as your rear brakes). Some sedans driven lightly on the weekend only can stretch out service intervals for up to two years in some cases. We have other customers who play hard and tow hard with their Acura SUVs and can see us as early as a year. Your situation is specific to you, your vehicle, and your driving style. Speak with a service advisor for more information.
How long does it take for a full brake job?: If you define "full brake job" by pads only in all four corners, it'll take about an hour and a half. If you are doing pads & rotors, then potentially up to 2.5 to 3 hours. If you perform other brake system services at that time, or if there is rust or component damage, repair times could easily double.
