With school starting back, parents have to be extra careful during school drop offs and pickups. Any driver near a school zone needs to always be on alert for young pedestrians that are in and around your vehicle. Be ready to stop in a moment’s notice. In order to conduct a safe stop, your North Carolina new or pre-owned Honda needs to have effective brakes.

 

Over time, your brake pads can wear down. When this happens, you will not be able to execute a precise stop, especially during an emergency situation. Brake safety depends on maintenance on a regular basis so make sure you are scheduling appointments to keep everyone safe. In most cases, a simple brake pad replacement is all that is necessary to keep you safe on the road.

 

If you neglect brake services for too long, it is possible that your brake rotors will incur damage as well. This is a more costly repair for both parts and labor. It is wiser to have your brakes evaluated and the pad replaced before damage can occur to your rotors.

 

Driving around a school zone requires extra attention to the laws. School zones will demand lower speed limits and drivers need to stay alert to avoid collisions with other vehicles and pedestrians.

 

Contact our NC Honda service center today to schedule a brake evaluation if it has been some time since you’ve had brake service done. We can recommend any necessary brake work or replacements to ensure your braking system is safe and sound.
