Our factory-trained and certified technicians work on brakes every day, and they’ll be happy fix up yours whenever you need the attention of a knowledgeable professional. 

What Parts Will I Need to Have Replaced Most Often? 

Your brakes are a system that consists of various parts, such as: 

• Rotors 
• Calipers 
• Fluid 
• Mounts 
• Pads 
• Hydraulics 

You may never have to replace some of those parts, while others will wear out repeatedly during your car’s lifetime. Your brake pads fall into the latter part category, meaning you’ll need to get new ones over the years.

If you have the training and equipment, you can get new pads in our Mazda parts center and install them yourself. For most drivers, it will be easier to bring their cars into our Pittsfield, MA Mazda service center so we can replace their brake pads directly.

How Can I Tell if I Need New Brake Pads? 

Whether you’re looking for the latest Mazda crossover models or you’re shopping for used cars in North Adams, MA, we invite you to look through our extensive inventory. Just like you can trust us to maintain a full inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles, you can rely on us for trustworthy answers to your automotive questions. 

Drivers often ask us how they can tell when they need to get new brake pads. Fortunately, your brakes are great communicators.

Brake pads have a built-in indicator strip. When your pads get worn down, that strip is exposed, which causes it to make a squealing or screeching sound that indicates you’ll need new brake pads soon.

If that noise morphs into a grinding sound, it means you need to get new brake pads installed as quickly as possible to avoid damaging your rotors. 

Here are some other signals that indicate you need new brake pads: 

• Your car pulls to the side 
• Your brake pedal feels soft or spongy 
• You need more room to bring your automobile to a complete stop 

If you’ve noticed any of the signs listed above, head over to Berkshire Mazda to get the brake service your car needs. We look forward to having you as our guest soon.
