The single most important safety system on your vehicle is the brake system. In the event of an unexpected circumstance, you want to stop in the shortest amount of time and in the shortest distance possible. You should bring your vehicle in for a brake inspection if you are involved in the following:

  • The check brakes warning light is on.
  • The brake pedal feels too soft when depressed.
  • The brake pedal goes too close to the floor or must be pumped.
  • You hear noises when braking.
  • The vehicle pulls to one side or the other when you brake.
  • Using the brakes causes the vehicle to vibrate.
  • The vehicle takes longer distances to stop.

It is also important to have your brake fluid checked. As hydraulic brake fluid breaks down, it becomes more acidic and builds up copper residue. This can cause system corrosion. If you have any worries about your vehicle’s brakes, then contact our Charlotte BMW Service Center! The factory-trained staff at our Service Center can inspect, maintain and repair your brake system.
