When to Service Your Brakes

Some find it difficult knowing exactly when to get your brakes serviced. That's why it's important to consult your Honda Owner's Manual to see the recommended brake service intervals. However, these are only general guidelines. Sometimes brakes will wear out faster so it's important to always be aware of your brakes' performance. Since the brake pads are visible between the wheel spokes, it's easy to monitor them from time to time.

Here are some signs you should come in for brake service:

• Visibly worn-out pads
• Squealing sound
• Grinding or growling noise
• Fading or non-responsive pedal, which can also indicate a leak in the system
• Pulling to one side when pressure is applied to the brake
• Vibration or pulsation when brake is applied

If you notice any of these signs of unusual wear and tear or feel unsure or uncomfortable about your brakes' performance, stop by Gary Yeomans Honda Daytona to get your vehicle inspected by our certified technicians.

Your suspension gets out-of-alignment when the suspension and steering systems are not operating at their desired angles. On an older vehicle, Out-of-alignment conditions are most often caused by spring sag or suspension wear (ball joints, bushings, etc.) An impact with a pothole or curb is another way to put the suspension out of alignment. Incorrect alignment usually results in more rapid tire wear.

When to Replace or Resurface Rotors

Like brake pads, brake rotors do wear down over time. The length of this components life will vary based on a number of factors:

• Type of brake pads
• Metallurgy of rotor castings
• Cooling efficiency
• Driving conditions
• Driver's braking style
• Exposure to environmental elements like moisture and road salt

Always check your Honda Owner's Manual for the recommended service intervals. If you're unsure, ask your Honda technician at Gary Yeomans Honda Daytona.

Here are some signs that your rotor should be resurfaced or replaced:

• Rotor thickness worn down to minimum thickness specifications
• About every other brake pads replacement
• Uneven rotor wear often signified by pedal vibration when brakes are applied
• Corrosion
• High brake temperatures caused by aggressive driving, towing or hauling heavy loads, mountain driving, or consistent use in stop-and-go city traffic

Understanding Your Cabin Air Filter

You may not realize that your Honda has a cabin air filter, but almost every single recent vehicle on the market has one of these. Simply put, the air filter ensures that your ventilation system is running smoothly and allows you to breathe clean air. Like any other part of your car, it does need to be changed occasionally, but doing so can be quick and affordable.
