man putting on brake pads

Your Ram, Chevy, or Ford diesel pickup is a big truck. All that weight takes some strong stopping power and takes its toll on your brake pads - especially if you ever pull a trailer or carry heavy loads. Whenever you need a brake job, Elite Automotive LLC in Covington, KY has your back.

Brake pads are just a thick piece of friction material, designed to wear down slowly over time. When the material starts to wear thin, you’ll begin hearing a scraping or grinding sound, indicating that it’s time to change your brake pads. There isn’t necessarily anything wrong with them; they’re designed to make that noise, so you’re alerted before any damage is done.

However, if you neglect to get your brakes changed, other damages will start to occur. First, the rotors get ruined, then the caliper and wheel bearings are in danger. Getting new brake pads installed is easy and doesn’t take long - changing out rotors and dealing with other bad components starts to get more complicated. Get your pads replaced sooner rather than later and save yourself some money in the process.

If your truck needs new brakes, we’ve got you covered. No matter your repair or maintenance needs, our technicians are here to help. For the best diesel service shop in Covington, KY, call or stop by Elite Automotive LLC today.
