Brake Pad Replacement near Columbia, SC

Brake pads are commonly forgotten about with the culmination of safety features lining vehicles in this day and age. That is why we at Gerald Jones Mazda are here to remind you to swing by for a replacement every so often to make sure you can come to a complete stop when traffic rears its ugly head. For more information, give our Service Department a call at 706-449-0331.
Timeline
Since there isn’t a strict time frame that should be abided by in terms of brake replacement, we will go over the details so you can maintain a safe drive at all times. It is important to understand that their erosion is heavily dependent on a few different factors, and most of them have to do with your driving patterns. If you are the type of person that likes to brake late, then your pads will degrade quicker than drivers that apply them earlier. Also, if you like to put your pedal to the metal while cruising down the interstate, then you are relying on them more to bring you to a halt. That is why we generally suggest that our clients drop by every 12,000 miles for a routine checkup. The reason is because your pads can last anywhere between 25,000 and 75,000 miles, which is why we would like to get a better idea of their remaining lifespan.
Warning Signs
Like most components on your automobile, there are a few red flags that you should be on high alert for. While it is important to avoid these altogether, these signs will let you know that you are long overdue for a brake replacement. Firstly, if you hear a grinding or screeching sound coming from your undercarriage, then this signifies that your pads have completely worn down. That is because beneath your brakes are a metal material, and that is the sound of this surface making direct contact with your wheels. Another thing to be aware of is if you have to press down on your brake pedal harder to bring your ride to a complete stop or your pedal is coming to the floor on its own. Luckily, many new vehicles come with a warning light that will illuminate on your dash to let you know that yours are nearing the end of their capability.

Testimonials
Great service and speed!
Friendly and helpful staff.
“ Friendly and helpful staff. Had my vehicle ready promptly and reviewed all services performed. ”
very quick
“ I first contacted Mr. PJ Jones over Cargurus, communication is very prompt and Mr. PJ gave me a competitive price and fee schedule. It is a bit nervous because I am from SC and will travel over 2 hours to get to their dealership, Gary the sales person makes the paperwork process very smooth. Upon arrival at Augusta, the buying process is very quick, I got the paperwork done in less than 20 minutes the most. To my surprise, whatever Mr. PJ quoted me over email is exactly what I am getting. No hidden fee, changes at the last minute. It is great to see people do business that way. The only small thing is they put a sticker on the back of the car which seems way to big, be nice if they can put smaller sticker that blends in better with the vehicle or just don't put the sticker on their. ”

“ Kevin was so kind and seemed genuine. Before my appointment, I kept having to reschedule my appointments. He offered to let me use his car if I needed it. People are not kind anymore. That was the nicest thing anyone has said or offered to do in quite some time. He also gave me a discount. I was very grateful for. He is willing to help in anyway possible.

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had
“ This was the best car buying experience I have ever had. I worked with the dealer via text and phone and lined up great pricing and a trade in value (numbers checked vs. Kelly Blue Book) as well as approved 5 year/ 0% financing the day before I before I went to the dealership. I had to drive from Charleston to Augusta because none of the Charleston or Columbia dealers could even get close to this deal. When I got there, they didn't try to change any of the terms or upsell me anything else. They just showed me all the features on my new car, had me sign the paperwork, and I was out of there in 40 minutes total. Plus I LOVE my new CX5!!! This is how car buying should be. ”
