You should never estimate when it comes to parking brake adjustments.
The parking or emergency brake has to perform two distinct jobs. First, it must be able to hold the vehicle on an incline. Second, it must be able to stop a vehicle under a specific distance if the hydraulic brakes have failed. These standards are set by the Department of Transportation (DOT), and the kicker is these standards must be met with the force applied by a little old lady. But, over time, the cables can stretch and the friction materials change their length and thickness, which is why adjustments to the system are required.
Porsche was the first manufacturer to use TPMS on a vehicle in 1986 for the 959 supercar.
When replacing the tires on the Tesla, you will have to service the TPMS sensors.
Your wheel weights could be hiding indirect comeback costs related to them falling off or losing their adhesion.
Honda’s TPMS can be one of the more difficult systems to program in new sensors, relearns and calibrations.
When you think about the braking system of a vehicle, you probably think about the major parts you see when removing the wheel: brake pads, rotors, calipers and maybe hydraulics. However, one of the most important parts of the system isn’t visible: brake fluid. Brake fluid comes in several formulations for different applications and plays
Here’s why charging more for brake jobs keeps customers coming back.
With the right tools and service information, it is possible to resolve a customer’s complaint.
Caliper replacement may be necessary in high-mileage vehicles because of fluid leaks or because the calipers are sticking.
