• Dale’s Auto Service provides a full range of brake services for Subaru vehicles, including brake pad replacement, rotor resurfacing or replacement, brake fluid flushes, brake line inspection, and overall brake system diagnostics.

2. How often should I have my Subaru brakes serviced?

• We recommend having your Subaru’s brakes inspected at least once a year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, if you notice any signs of brake issues, such as squeaking, reduced braking power, or vibration, it’s best to bring your vehicle in for an inspection sooner.

3. What are some common signs that my Subaru needs brake service?

• Some common signs include:
  • Squealing or grinding noise when braking
  • A soft or spongy brake pedal
  • Vibration or pulsation when braking
  • Increased stopping distance
  • Brake warning light on the dashboard

4. How long do Subaru brake pads typically last?

• Subaru brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles, depending on driving habits, road conditions, and the specific model. If you drive frequently in city traffic or on mountainous terrain, your brake pads may wear out more quickly.

5. Will you use original Subaru parts for brake service?

• Yes! At Dale’s Auto Service, we use high-quality, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts specifically for Subaru vehicles to ensure proper fit, performance, and safety.

6. Do you offer a warranty on brake services?

• Yes, we offer a warranty on brake services. The details of the warranty will depend on the specific service and parts used. Please ask our service team for more information during your visit.

7. How much does a Subaru brake service cost at Dale’s Auto Service?

• The cost of brake service varies depending on the specific service required (brake pad replacement, rotor resurfacing, etc.) and your Subaru model. We offer competitive pricing and free estimates before beginning any work.

8. How long does it take to perform a brake service on my Subaru?

• Brake services typically take between 1-2 hours, depending on the extent of the work needed. If you need a brake pad replacement, it may take less time, while more extensive repairs like rotor replacement or brake fluid flushing could take a little longer.

9. Can you perform a brake inspection even if I’m not sure there’s an issue with my Subaru?

• Absolutely! If you’re unsure about your brakes, it’s always better to have them inspected than to wait for a problem to worsen. We provide free brake inspections and can identify any issues before they become major problems.

10. Is brake fluid replacement necessary for my Subaru?

• Yes, brake fluid should be replaced periodically to maintain optimal braking performance. Subaru recommends replacing brake fluid every 2 years or 24,000 miles. This helps prevent moisture buildup that can lead to brake failure.

11. Can I drive my Subaru if the brakes are making a noise?

• While minor noises such as squeaks might be normal, any grinding or loud squealing should be addressed immediately. It could indicate worn-out pads or other serious brake issues. We recommend bringing your Subaru in for an inspection if you hear unusual sounds.

12. Do I need to make an appointment for Subaru brake service?

• While we do accept walk-ins, it’s best to make an appointment to ensure that we can fit you into our schedule promptly. You can schedule your brake service appointment online or by calling us directly.

13. Can you fix Subaru brake problems caused by worn-out rotors?

• Yes, we can either resurface or replace worn rotors to restore your Subaru’s braking performance. If the rotors are too damaged to be resurfaced, we will replace them with high-quality parts.

14. Will you check my entire brake system during the service?

• Yes! Our brake service includes a full inspection of your Subaru’s entire brake system, including pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, fluid levels, and more. We want to ensure your vehicle’s brakes are functioning properly and safely.
