Your Subaru’s brakes are one of its most important safety systems. Whether you’re navigating Bay Area traffic or heading out for a weekend drive, healthy brake pads give you the stopping power you need when it matters most. Over time, those pads wear down with every stop, making regular inspection and timely replacement essential for your safety and your vehicle’s performance.
At Oceanworks in Berkeley we help Subaru owners keep their vehicles braking smoothly and safely—with expert service, quality parts, and quality repairs.
Brake pads don’t last forever, and catching early warning signs can prevent costly repairs later on. Here are a few clues that it’s time to schedule a replacement:
- Squealing or grinding noises when you press the brakes
- Vibration or pulsing when braking
- Spongy brake pedal sensation or longer stopping distances
If you notice any of the above symptoms, call Oceanworks for an appointment. Driving with worn brake pads can damage your rotors and reduce your overall braking efficiency. At our Berkeley auto repair shop we replace Subaru brake pads using original equipment (OEM) quality parts to ensure long-lasting performance and safety.
