Brake System Inspection
Your vehicle’s brakes should be inspected once every six months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, this is not a DIY (do it yourself) project anyone in Philadelphia can do on their own. Comprehensive brake system analysis is necessary to gauge the integrity and responsiveness of:
- Brake pedal
- Brake lines and hoses
- Brake fluid
- Brake assemblies
- Parking brake

Genuine Nissan Brake Service
Put your faith in our Philadelphia service experts at Chapman Nissan and your vehicle’s brake pedal will be inspected in-depth. We compare pedal height and other nuances to those recommended by the automobile manufacturer. We even analyze seeming subtleties such as reserve distance to guarantee your brakes will prove responsive amidst harsh weather. Our in-depth analysis also includes a brake fluid check to ensure the brake shoes are properly activated.

Brake Pad Replacement
Brake pads must be replaced after a certain amount of wear and tear to keep you and your family as safe as possible. Brake pads typically last 30,000 miles. However, if Philadelphia has a particularly harsh winter or if you have a unique driving style, replacement might be necessary before this benchmark. Let us handle your brake pad analysis/replacement and our professional installation will prevent the calipers, rotors, and discs from enduring premature wear. More importantly, timely brake pad replacement prevents an even costlier repair or potentially deadly accident.
Brake Fluid Exchange
Though brake fluid is rather small in terms of size and quantity, it makes the difference between safe driving and a nasty accident. If your vehicle’s brake fluid requires replacement, we will provide the proper grade, bleed the brake lines and ultimately enhance your stopping power. After all, control is essential to driving around Philadelphia’s snow-covered streets. In general, brake fluid should be exchanged every other year at a bare minimum.
Brake Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement
Your vehicle’s brake rotors have a finite lifespan. Rotors wear down every single time you press the brakes. The rotor wear rate hinges on the brake pad type, casting hardness and many other factors. Rotor thickness is measured every single time we service vehicle brakes. Put your faith in our team and we will tell you the truth about your rotor wear and perform the necessary resurfacing or replacement.
