Brake Tests
It is vital that you get a brake test for your Subaru Impreza, Crosstrek, or Forester on a regular basis. That’s because your car’s ability to stop is directly related to your safety during your daily adventures. Brake tests allow our technicians to determine the effectiveness and condition of your brakes. We recommend that you visit us at least once a year for this task to ensure that you will be able to halt your car in the event of an emergency. We’ll start by removing the wheels to get a closer look at the inner workings of your brakes. Then, our team will check the condition of the brake pads and rotors. If the brakes have been feeling spongy, we can also inspect the brake fluid and connecting lines.
Parts
The components that make up a car’s brakes are more intricate than most drivers often think. As soon as you press on the brake pedal, a specialized fluid is compressed in order to transfer the force of your foot to the rest of the system. It then will squeeze brake pads against the metal rotors within each wheel. This generates the friction necessary to slow your momentum when you arrive at Hurkamp Park. Since brake pads are made of a less dense material to reduce the buildup of heat, they are often the components that wear out first. However, older cars should be more thoroughly inspected during your visit at our nearby location, as the brake fluid lines and other units may be on their last legs.
Replacement
When you rely on the service technicians at our dealership to handle your brake test, you can rest assured that we’ll let you know if and when the parts need to be replaced. In the event that your Subaru is due for new pads, rotors, or brake fluid beads to be swapped out, we’ll take care of business quickly. Each brake pad takes about 30 minutes to replace, so hang tight in our waiting area or have us give you a call when the maintenance has been completed. Every part that we use is directly from the manufacturer, meaning that your Subaru will have genuine components to make sure that it lasts for the long run.

Testimonials
Super happy with this dealership.
I will choose Sheehy again.
“ Steve Kane at the service desk and Gary the technician treated me with sympathy and respect. My vehicle and I were towed in after breaking down on I95. Even though the service department was busy, they looked at my outback in short order, explained and physically showed me the problem. They resolved my issue so that I could get back home safely. I appreciated that Gary spent time with me to show me the under belly of my car and pinpoint my problem and that he wrote a detailed explanation on the paperwork receipt. If I ever need service again in or near Fredericksburg, I will choose Sheehy again. ”
