Here's Some Braking News in Coconut Creek, FL

This just in: The Gunther VW Service Center is packed with factory-trained technicians that only use Genuine VW parts, supplies, tools, and techniques. Why is this important? Your precision-tuned German automobile demands high-performance parts. Anything less than OEM spec will put you in danger, and, frankly, your vehicle will not be as much fun to drive. Saving a few bucks at "that place on the corner" might sound like a good idea until you discover that they didn't tighten the bolts, and they put your pads on backward. Think we're kidding? We've seen it happen. Let's take a look at some of the key components in your braking system that get some love while you're here:

• Your Brake Pads - This is one of the fastest wearing components in your braking system. We'll measure them, inspect them, and see how they're wearing so that you can count on smooth stopping power year-round.


• Your Brake Rotors - This component is attached to your hub and is the contact point for your brake pads. In a sense, they're what your pads grab onto to slow down your vehicle. We'll inspect and measure your rotors, too. The thinner they are, the harder it is for your pads to grab them.


• Your Brake Calipers - Your calipers are the mechanical devices that squeeze your pads. You know what your hand does when it catches a frisbee. Your calipers do the same thing. You guessed it. We'll inspect them too and make sure they are operating smoothly and without leaks.

Why do we do all that? We believe in making sure that you get a VW brake service that won't leave you shocked (or broken down) a few weeks later. Other places will just slam inferior quality pads in there and say auf wiedersehen. Make sure you get the quality Volkswagen brake pad replacement that your car deserves and that you can count on to avoid accidents. Depending on how hard you drive, your brakes might wear at the same time you'd be due for an oil change service. As your service advisor for all applicable money-saving coupons, we've got 'em. Just ask!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to fix Volkswagen brakes?

The cost involved with fixing Volkswagen brakes will vary significantly depending on the issue and the vehicle model and model year. For example, if the problem is simply a worn-down brake pad, this will cost less to fix than if the issue was a seized brake caliper. An inspection of your vehicle is necessary before we can provide a precise estimate regarding the cost of brake repairs.

What is included in brake service?

A brake service can vary, but typically, a full brake service (or "brake job") will involve replacing the pads, inspecting or replacing the brake rotors, and inspecting the brake calipers alongside other areas like the brake fluid and brake lines. Generally, pads and rotors are the focus of a brake service, but inspections are always necessary to ensure the other components are still in good shape and functioning properly.

How often should brake fluid be changed on a Volkswagen car?

As it's the lifeblood of your vehicle's most important safety system, you should have the brake fluid in your Volkswagen inspected regularly and changed every two years/30,000 miles on average. Brake fluid can absorb moisture and air and lose its hydraulic effectiveness, decreasing your braking system's power. This is dangerous, so ensure you get the brake fluid changed when your car's factory maintenance schedule says to do so.
