Expert Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Repair at Shingle Springs Subaru

Anti-lock brakes are a crucial mechanism for ensuring your vehicle is always able to stop as quickly and safely as possible. When this system fails, not only are you at risk of significantly increasing your stopping distance by skidding, you won't be able to correct your steering in the middle of a skid. If your wheels are locking up under hard braking, that could be a sign that your vehicle's ABS system has failed. Problems with the braking system may also be indicated by dash lights. Bring it to our service center soon, so our experts can diagnose and repair this critical part of your vehicle's braking system.

Why Should I trust Shingle Springs Subaru to Repair my ABS?

The ABS system in your vehicle involves a computer and hydraulics unit in the engine compartment, plus speed sensors usually located inside the wheels. These sensors may fail due to road debris or overheating. The hydraulic system controlled by the ABS is used to quickly pulse your brakes - preventing skid while maximizing stopping distance. It's also under an incredible amount of hydraulic pressure, and can therefore be difficult and even dangerous to be repaired by an amateur. Let the factory-trained technicians in our service department perform any necessary maintenance on this tricky and sophisticated system.

How Often Does my ABS System Need Service?

Unless you experience skidding or sliding when braking aggressively or a relevant indicator light on your dash is on, your ABS system is probably working as intended. When your brakes are being inspected during milestone service appointments, we'll be sure to assess the ABS system as well. Otherwise, this system only needs to be serviced if it fails.
