2017 Subaru Legacy Brake Specials: Specs & Service

These symptoms can involve pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, hardware or fluid, so the complete system should be assessed together. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley checks all four corners and connects the findings to the vehicle’s condition.

• Squealing or grinding during braking
• Pulsing, softness or unusual pedal feel
• A warning light or dark-looking brake fluid

Brakes wear as a system, so checking only the pads can overlook rotor or fluid concerns. The inspection at Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley is designed to assess the complete system and apply current brake specials to the work the vehicle actually needs.

• Pad-material measurement on all four corners
• Rotor-thickness and runout measurement
• Inspection of calipers, hoses, hardware and fluid

If the rotors remain within specification, pads may be appropriate; if they do not, pads and rotors may both require service. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley measures the rotors before making a recommendation rather than automatically replacing every component.

• Measure rotor thickness
• Check rotor runout and braking feel
• Match the recommendation to measured condition

An independent shop may offer different parts or pricing, while a Subaru dealer can use OEM-spec components and vehicle-specific service procedures. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley’s brake assessment includes measurements of pads and rotors plus checks of fluid, calipers, hoses and hardware.

• Ask whether rotor thickness and runout are measured
• Confirm what pad and hardware components are included
• Compare the complete written recommendation

Brake symptoms can worsen as pads, rotors and fluid continue to wear. If the vehicle can be moved safely, schedule an assessment with Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley; severe symptoms may require roadside assistance instead.

• Do not ignore grinding or a soft pedal
• Take a brake warning light seriously
• Arrange an inspection before normal driving resumes

The inspection covers pad material, rotor condition, calipers, hoses, hardware and brake fluid. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley can assess the system during scheduled maintenance or sooner when braking symptoms appear.

• Inspect the brake system every 12,000 miles
• Measure pad material on all four corners
• Check rotors for thickness and runout

Brake fluid condition is part of a complete brake assessment because fluid can degrade alongside pads and rotors. The service team also checks for a soft pedal, a brake warning light and fluid that appears dark.

• Replace brake fluid every 30,000 miles
• Inspect fluid condition during brake service
• Report a soft pedal or warning light promptly
