Brake Service
Genuine Mopar Braking Power
Your brakes are one of the most critical safety features in your vehicle, ensuring reliable stopping power when you need it most. Brake pads press against the rotor or drum to stop your vehicle, and over time, they wear down, making routine brake maintenance essential for your safety and your vehicle's performance.
At Bertera Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of West Springfield, our certified technicians specialize in genuine Mopar brake service, using Mopar-approved brake pads, rotors, and fluids designed for your specific CDJR model. Whether you hear squeaking, experience a soft brake pedal, or notice longer stopping distances, our team is here to inspect, repair, or replace your braking system to keep you driving with confidence.

Brake Inspections
Our factory-trained Mopar technicians perform thorough inspections to check for worn brake pads, damaged rotors, or other potential issues. If you hear unusual noises or experience reduced braking power, bring your vehicle in.
Brake Pads
Brake pads naturally wear down over time. If you hear squeaking noises, it's a sign that they need replacement. We install genuine Mopar brake pads designed for optimal safety and performance in your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram.
Brake Rotors
Brake rotors wear more slowly than pads but still require maintenance. In some cases, they can be resurfaced, but if they are too thin or warped, we replace them with high-quality, Mopar-approved rotors for maximum braking power.
Brake Fluid
At Bertera CDJR, we help keep your brakes performing safely. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, reducing braking efficiency. We use only Mopar-approved brake fluid to ensure your system stays responsive and reliable.

Understanding Your Vehicle’s Braking System
Knowing how your brake system works can help you recognize when service is needed. When you press the brake pedal:
- Brake pads create friction to slow your vehicle
- Brake rotors distribute heat to prevent overheating
- Brake fluid ensures smooth hydraulic operation
Each of these components wears over time and may need individual replacements to keep your brakes performing properly.

Bertera CDJR of West Springfield Brake Service: Frequently Asked Questions
Brake pads are designed with wear indicators that produce a squeaking sound when they need replacement. This noise may occur whether or not you're pressing the brake pedal. If you hear it, schedule a service appointment to have your brake pads replaced as soon as possible.
Brake rotors have a minimum thickness stamped on them, and they should be replaced before reaching that limit. If your rotors are worn too thin, they can’t dissipate heat effectively, leading to reduced braking performance.
A pulsing brake pedal or steering wheel vibration while braking is often caused by uneven brake rotor thickness. This happens when different sections of the rotor wear unevenly. If you notice this issue, visit Bertera Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of West Springfield to have your rotors inspected and resurfaced or replaced.
Mopar brake pads typically last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles, depending on driving habits. Frequent braking in stop-and-go traffic or aggressive driving can cause them to wear out sooner. Regular inspections help ensure your braking system remains in top condition.
At Bertera Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we install genuine Mopar brake pads that are specifically engineered for your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram vehicle. Mopar offers a range of brake pad materials to suit different driving needs:
-
Semi-Metallic Brake Pads: These pads are composed of a mix of metals, such as copper, iron, and steel, providing excellent stopping power and heat dissipation. They're ideal for high-performance and heavy-duty applications but may produce more noise and brake dust.
-
Ceramic Brake Pads: Made from dense ceramic materials with embedded copper fibers, ceramic pads offer quiet braking, low dust production, and long lifespan. They're well-suited for daily driving and provide consistent performance across a range of temperatures.
-
Organic (Non-Asbestos Organic - NAO) Brake Pads: Constructed from a blend of fibers and fillers bonded with resin, organic pads are softer and quieter, making them a cost-effective choice for everyday driving. However, they may wear out faster and are less effective under high-heat conditions.
The specific type of brake pad your vehicle uses can depend on the model, driving conditions, and performance requirements. Our certified technicians at Bertera CDJR can help determine the best brake pad material for your vehicle to ensure optimal safety and performance.
