Remember, your brakes will keep your family safe. Are brake parts and repairs for Hondas – expensive? Yes they are! Unlike domestics, brake rotors for import cars, are built with minimum thicknesses in order to save weight – that means they must be replaced and they can’t be “turned”.

Also, brake rotors for imports are more perceptive to warping from heat, and overheated brakes are the 2nd most common reason of failure.

So, you could save money on Honda brake parts and repairs with these tips:

1. To Inspect Your Honda’s Brakes You should use Your Eyes and Ears :

At least every 6 months you should visually inspect your brakes’ condition. Some things to look for are:

Brake Rotors have to be checked all around the surface and on each side for any obvious defects or concentric scoring. You need to replace your rotors immediately if defects are found. Also, any rotor discoloration could be a sign of overheating, so an inspection by a Honda brake repair professional will be needed.

Brake Pads will usually match rotor scoring but it should be also inspected for breakage, bumpy wear, or cracking on the friction surface. You need to replace the pads immediately if defects are found. Also, a lot of cars have brake protection sensors in order to warn of protection wear. And if your Honda uses sensors, you should replace these at the same time as your pads.

On a regular basis brake drums should be inspected. You should check for the identical types of defects as noted above

Brake Shoes should be worn consistently and have no pins sticking out to the friction surface.

2. Additional Troubleshooting: When you are inspecting brakes, you should check wheel cylinders, calipers, fittings and hoses for any hydraulic fluid leakage.

You should also inspect the reservoir, master cylinder and proportioning control device assemblies. Rebuild or replace as required.

You also need to look into a “soft” brake pedal or one that is gotten lower. That could be caused by worn pads, sticking calipers, hydraulic system problems or low fluid.

You certainly have hydraulic problems that will need some work if you can’t “pump them up”. If you always have to pump them up, your hydraulic fluid will need replacement.

In order to check brakes by sound, you should know how your brakes sound and you need to listen for out-of-the-ordinary noises.

A lot of cars have a small combing sound from the pads calmly touching the rotors. That is normal. You should be watch for:

Squeaking. It can be caused by dirt or dust on the brakes, and loose pads vibrating when worn pads or when applied.

Rhythmic noise. That could mean that you have a twisted rotor. Rather than a solid squeaking noise, it pulsates. The brake pedal will also beat underfoot in extreme cases.

Constant brake noise. As you already know this is never a good sound and any grinding noise can be a real trouble!

Most importantly: Once any problem is noticed, you have to get it repaired straight away. It is extremely dangerous to delay brake repairs.
