A Safe Subaru Requires Reliable Brakes
Schedule your brake service at our CT Subaru service center near Hartford


Think about how often you drive your Subaru: to the grocery store, to work, to relatives' homes, to weekend events; during the sunniest vacations and the snowiest winters. When you own a car and use it regularly, it becomes hard to imagine life without it. That's why it's crucial for Connecticut drivers to make sure their brakes are in perfect working order. As reliable as all-wheel drive is for getting you going, sound-working brakes are just as important to maintain safe stopping distance and response time. Come to our Subaru dealership near Hartford to get your brakes inspected, and to ensure that they'll keep you safe! 

What does brake service involve?

At Mitchell Subaru, our certified technicians closely examine your brake brake pads, rotors, fluid levels, and every other component of the braking system. We can easily identify brakes that need replacing once the car is in our service bays, but you can tell when your brakes may need professional attention if you observe some tell-tale signs...

How can I tell that I need to have my brakes checked? 

  • Your brake warning indicator light is on.
  • A grinding or screeching sound when you press the brake pedal.
  • Vibration when applying the brakes.
  • Trouble slowing down properly or coming to a complete stop.
  • Your vehicle pulls to one side or the other involuntarily.
  • The gas pedal feels soft, or goes all the way to the floor.

Why do brakes need regular attention? 

Brakes do their job by stopping your car through applied pressure -- shoes, pads, rotors, calipers all pressing together to stop the momentum of a heavy vehicle. That's going to cause wear on those components over time, and that's exactly why it's important to get brake inspections at regular intervals. The exact interval varies by vehicle, so while it's best to consult your owner's manual (or just ask our service advisors), but it's typically recommended that you seek an inspection every 12,000 miles. 

Fortunately, the Mitchell Subaru service team is more than capable of taking care of your brakes for you. Our service technicians have nearly 100 years of combined experience under their belts, and all the industry tools they need to get the job done efficiently and quickly. Whether you're a Simsbury Subaru Impreza driver or you get around Hartford County in a rugged Outback, make sure you get your brakes checked regularly at Mitchell Subaru.
