Volkswagen Brakes
Brakes are arguably the most important safety feature on your car, it's not hard to tell that proper Volkswagen brake service and maintenance is more than important. Your VW brake pads and VW Brake discs should be inspected for wear and damage at least every 10,000 miles.
Note that even brief delays in the braking system should be seen as a warning sign to seek out new brakes. Beware that unresponsive brakes can greatly affect the way the car responds on sharp turns and during basic maneuvers in traffic.

Replacing VW brake pads during normal routine maintenance is one way to extend the life of the braking system. Pads that have worn down can often be heard during traffic and when coming to an abrupt stop. The sensor light may come on in the dashboard, once the pads have worn away completely and the metal pieces are rubbing together.
Local mechanics that are familiar with foreign cars may be needed for VW brake repair. Never be afraid to ask about their prior experience or current certifications. Some mechanics may not have access to any parts that are compatible and the estimate may reveal an unreasonable amount for replacement parts. Being proactive about ordering the parts can take the burden of searching out the right part off of the mechanic.
Always order the VW brake replacement parts in front or back pairs or in a customized kit. VW brake discs are usually stainless steel and silver in appearance to complement the current classic design of the car. Additionally, some VW models will require special tools to replace the brakes so make sure to check out our extensive catalog of VW tools before you order parts.
