Signs of Brake Rotor Damage and Wear in Your Nissan Vehicle

Because parts in your brake system come together to create friction to bring your Nissan to a halt, the typical first signs of any brake damage are going to be noises. Squeaking noises from your rotors could indicate that your brake rotors are warped, while a scraping sound coming from your rotors probably means much more severe damage. You'll also notice a difference in how your car feels when you brake. Vibrations or pulsations may both occur when your warped rotors have the brake pads applied to them. Visual inspection of your Nissan's brake rotors can help to identify problems as well. Keep an eye out for grooves or score marks on the rotor that indicates you'll need a brake rotor resurfacing/replacement service at Germain Nissan of Columbus.

The decision between resurfacing and replacing your brake rotors should only be trusted to a Nissan factory-trained technician at Germain Nissan of Columbus.

Brake Rotor Resurfacing / Replacement at Germain Nissan of Columbus

Your brake rotors are designed to work in tandem with your brake pads to create the friction you need to stop. Over time, your brake rotors may eventually wear down and become less effective at providing your Nissan with the adequate braking power you need to stay safe. Worn-out brake rotors typically occur due to extensive use of your brake rotors, gradually wearing down over time or accumulating "scores" or "grooves" along the brake rotors that impact your braking performance. A certified technician at Germain Nissan of Columbus may, in certain situations, simply resurface your brake rotors, provided that there is enough remaining thickness on the parts. Otherwise, a total replacement of your brake rotors in our Columbus, OH service center with OEM Nissan parts will have everything repaired and back to normal so that you can safely go about your travels.
