Volkswagen Brake System Services in Charlotte, NC
Keeping the brake system operating properly in your Volkswagen is essential for your safety. This system allows your Volkswagen to maintain the ability to stop safely and slow down to a safe speed when traveling. There are several components to brake services that you should keep in mind when maintaining your vehicle.
Brake Services
- Brake Fluid Exchange - One of the less common brake services is the brake fluid exchange service. Because brake fluid's lifespan lasts longer than most braking components in the system, you only need to replace this fluid every 30k miles or two years for most Volkswagen models. It is a hydraulic fluid that transfers pressure through the brake system and helps your Volkswagen manage safe speeds when stopping or slowing down. However, when it gets close to the recommended mileage, you need to make sure that you exchange this fluid to protect the overall brake system.
Learn More - Brake Inspections - The most common part of the brake system service is brake inspections. During this service, certified technicians take this opportunity to inspect the different components of the system. They will determine your brake fluid's quality, whether or not you need new brake pads and rotors, check your brake calipers, and look for any leaks in the system.

- Resurfacing & Replacing Brake Rotors - Like the brake pads, the brake rotors also need to be replaced periodically. They do not wear as fast as brake pads, but excessive use over time will cause these rotors to wear down. If they are not changed regularly, they will force your brake pads to wear at a much quicker rate, costing you money and safety in your Volkswagen. This service is as quick as the brake pads and can be done in just minutes by a certified technician.
Learn More - New OEM VW Brake Pads - Most often, brake pads need to be replaced in your Volkswagen. Whether it be the front brakes, back brakes, or brakes all around, the material on the brakes grinds down over time from using them. When they wear down to the metal, it is time to change these brake pads quickly. As they start to get low, you will notice that it takes longer for your Volkswagen to slow down.
