Automotive Tips from Made In America Made In Japan: Brake Noise

Your brake pads are the important parts that rub against the rotor (or disc) to slow and stop your car when driving in Sacramento. They eventually wear down.When your pads are worn too much, they won’t stop your vehicle as well. When the friction material is worn away, metal parts of the pad are exposed and you’ll hear a squeal or grinding sound. That’s when Sacramento drivers should replace their brake pads at Made In America Made In Japan. Not only will new pads restore your stopping power, but replacing them on time will prevent damage to the rotor.If your brakes are making noise, ask your Made In America Made In Japan service advisor to inspect your brakes. Addressing problems early will restore your safety and prevent expensive brake damage.Made In America Made In Japan1200 I StSacramento, California 9581491

Automotive Tips from Made In America Made In Japan: Causes of Wheel Misalignment

When properly aligned, all of your wheels are pointed in the same direction. Your vehicle will track true and handle the way it is designed. Sacramento drivers often associate our wheels being “knocked” out of alignment with an event like a major crash, hitting a pothole, curb or some other object. While these can certainly take your wheels out of alignment, the bumps and bounces of everyday Sacramento driving take their toll on wheel alignment as well. Your car can lose alignment over time with just normal driving. When your wheels are out of alignment, the team of automotive professionals at Made In America Made In Japan in Sacramento can return your wheels to the factory settings. Most owners’ manuals suggest an inspection every year or two.Give us a call.Made In America Made In Japan1200 I StSacramento, California 9581491
