Brake Rotor Service in Metairie, LA

Your brakes are the most important safety feature on your car, truck, SUV, or minivan. If there are problems with any part of your brake system, it can mean disaster. One such component of your brake system is your rotors. When working correctly, your rotors spin on the hub of your wheels as they turn. This provides a smooth surface for your brake pads to grab onto when you slow or stop. Over time your brake pads wear down and can damage your rotors either through the heat generated from the force of the friction or from the metal-on-metal situation that can occur if your pads wear down too much.

The good news is rotor service can remedy the problem either by smoothing out the rotor surfaces or by replacing them entirely if the damage is too extensive. If you live in Covington, River Ridge, or St. Rose, you can bring your vehicle into Premier Nissan of Metairie for professional rotor service to keep you safer on the road.

How to Know When You Need Rotor Service

Here are some signs that you may need your rotors replaced:

  • Noise when braking: If you hear squeaking or squealing when you apply your brakes, this may indicate warped or worn rotors. If your rotors are warped, your brakes tend to squeak, whereas if your rotors are worn too much, they will tend to make a grinding sound when braking.
  • Unusual vibrations: You may feel vibrations in your brake pedal or steering wheel when you apply your brakes. This can be a sign that your rotors are damaged, and the surface is not smooth enough for the brake pads to grab onto.
  • Visual signs: Some vehicles may require you to remove the wheels in order to see the rotors and inspect them for damage, but if your vehicle has spoked wheels, you may be able to inspect them through the spokes for signs of damage such as blueish colors (indications of heat damage), grooves or other imperfections on the rotor surfaces, indicators of rotor damage.

How Often to Replace Rotors

When the rotors wear out is influenced by many factors, such as frequency of use, climate, driving patterns, stop-and-go traffic, manufacturer design, vehicle makes and models, and more. Rotors can wear out in as soon as 30,000 miles, or as late as 70,000 or more. Like many questions about servicing your vehicle, it depends on the circumstances. Our expert technicians at Premier Nissan of Metairie can inspect your brakes and determine where your brake issues lie and inform you of their findings. We’ll recommend the best repairs as needed or whether replacement of the rotors is necessary. Our desire is to help you get back on the road quickly and safely so let us assist with your brake needs.
