The brakes on your Jeep® car are critically important both for safety and performance. Like any other Jeep part, they can wear down over time and sometimes require the services of our Jeep repair technicians at Heritage CDJR Owings Mills. Our expert mechanics perform a variety of different brake repairs, and we know the signs that brake repairs are necessary. Here is what you should look out for, as well as the different types of brake repair.
Signs You Need Brake Repairs
Depending on your specific Jeep model, the climate in which you drive, the brake parts, and your driving patterns, your brake pads and shoes should be replaced anywhere from every 20,000 miles to every 80,000 miles.

- Spongy or soft brakes
