We can all agree it is a great feeling when you push that pedal down and your car responds like the fine-tuned machine that it is. We can also all agree that there is no feeling worse in the world than pushing that brake pedal down to stop and feeling it sink into the floor, with the car barely slowing in response. Unfortunately if you neglect to perform routine maintenance on the hoses that carry the brake fluid, you may find yourself in this dangerous situation - a situation our qualified service workers at Lincoln of Smithtown in Saint James, NY can help prevent.
Brake pads and rotors are very important in ensuring proper vehicle braking, but the power needed to press the pads into the rotors is provided by brake fluid under enormous pressures carried by brake lines. These hoses, if damaged, will result in a loss of braking fluid and pressure, increasing the distance needed to stop dramatically.
This dangerous situation can be avoided with a quick inspection. Bring your vehicle into our Lincoln service shop today to ensure your braking hoses are in good working order to bring you safely to a stop.
