Volvo Brakes Repair & Inspections
If the brakes are squeaking on your used Volvo XC90, come to our brake shop for a diagnosis. Our team of professional auto mechanics works tirelessly to maintain the stopping system on your vehicle to the Johnson Volvo Cars standard of performance and safety.
If you've recently been involved in an auto collision, our Volvo collision center is here to restore your vehicle to pre-accident condition. When viewing a car after an accident, the initial instinct is to only focus on the exterior damage because that's what our eyes can see. But it's often the case that internal parts and components were damaged as well. Part of restoring your vehicle after a collision is to ensure the Volvo brakes are functioning correctly.
How Often Should I Service My Car's Brakes?
When you take home a new Volvo XC90 lease, your car's owner's manual will include a factory maintenance schedule that outlines how often you should have the brake pads replaced and the rotors inspected. If you can't find your car's manual or have any questions about when to schedule brake repair, please contact our service department.
We maintain a service history for the vehicles we have the pleasure of servicing. This means we detail every job we perform, the parts we install, and the dates and mileage of when those jobs were completed. So we can always tell you when you're due for your next oil change or brake pad replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long should Volvo brake pads last?
Volvo brake pads often have a life span between 30,000-70,000 miles. However, you should check your owner's manual for model-specific guidelines. If your commute involves a lot of stop-and-go traffic, you regularly use your car for heavy towing, or if you regularly drive - and then brake - at high speeds, this increases the chances that your brake pads will wear out sooner. Therefore, see us for brake service if you have difficulty slowing to a stop, your brakes make unusual sounds, or your car vibrates when braking.
Are brake pads and rotors under Volvo warranty?
Some brake problems can be covered under your new car warranty. However, normal wear and tear are not. That being said, under the Complimentary Factory Scheduled Maintenance Program1, which typically lasts for three years/36,000 miles, replacement brake pads and new rotors can be covered. To learn more about our warranty offers, our extended warranty opportunities, and the services covered by the FSM program, reach out to our sales advisers, who can go into detail and answer any follow-up questions you may have. You can also get great offers on our brake work by reviewing our service and parts specials.
Can brake fluid leak?
Yes, brake fluid can leak. Therefore, be on the lookout for pooling fluid below your car, a spongy brake pedal, a light on your dashboard that reads BRAKE, or any unusual behavior that occurs when you bring your car to a stop. Leaking brake fluid makes it harder to exert the pressure your system needs to come to a quick stop. The hole the fluid is leaking from could also wind up taking in air, which can lead to problems for your system. Seeing us for an appointment immediately is the best way to stay safe on the road.
Do brake calipers go bad?
Unlike brake pads and rotors, brake calipers are expected to last the life of your system, as they receive much less direct wear. That being said, they can encounter out-of-the-ordinary problems. Your vehicle may pull to one side when braking for many reasons, including a stuck caliper. A clunking sound when braking could mean that your caliper or its bracket has broken. In the latter case, you shouldn't drive your car but have it towed to be assessed. Our team can also look at your calipers when performing other brake services to ensure they're in good condition.
