What to Expect: Major Brake Service
Introduction
Thank you for allowing John's 4x4 Center Inc. the opportunity to assist you in the servicing of your vehicle. We would like to assure you that we appreciate your business and have gone to great extremes to ensure that your vehicle was serviced in the most professional manner. After the service was completed your vehicle was test driven, it underwent a final inspection, and was checked for overall quality and cleanliness.
What to Expect
Noises
During the break-in period you may notice a slight squealing sound when you apply the brakes. This noise, typically caused by brake dust, is perfectly normal.
Odors & Steam As new brakes are breaking-in, they will often cause a slight burning odor. In addition to this normal occurence, many parts that have been handled get extremely hot during normal operation, so it is often normal during the first day or two to notice a slight burning odor as well as a small amount of steam coming from the undercarriage. This is perfectly normal.
Brake Pedal Height
You may find your brake pedal to be at a different height. You will also find that as your brakes go through their normal wearing, the pedal will gradually begin to drop in height. If you notice any immediate dropping, or if you have any questions about the safety or operation of your brake system, please call our service department immediately. 303-449-2640
Please Don’t Forget ... We'd like your new brake service to last a long, long time. The best way of assuring that it does is by following these simple steps ...
Step # 1 . . .
Return to our service center for any recommended follow up services.
Step # 2 . . .
You should avoid hard stops, especially during the first 1,000 miles. We also suggest that whenever possible you
avoid resting your foot on the brake
pedal while you’re driving. This “riding the brake” will not only cause premature brake wear, but it is one of the leading causes of brake failure.
Step # 3 . . .
Always use your parking brake.
Step # 4 . . .
Return to John's 4x4 Center Inc. once a
year for your annual brake inspection.
