Tracks: Service Professionals

There is not one step or procedure that will prevent a brake job from coming back with issues, but rather an accumulation of little things that contribute to problems like brake noise, pedal pulsation, false ABS activation and low pedals. Attention to details, such as cleaning the hub, using proper lubrication and preventing ABS contamination together make a big difference. Quick and accurate diagnostic procedures that to allow technicians to “fix it right the first time,” go a long way toward reducing comebacks, saving time and increasing profitability. Topics such as choosing the right brake friction and rotors for various vehicle applications to prevent problems down the road will be covered. Attendees are also welcome to bring their own brake concerns and topics to discuss.

Attendees will learn:

  • How attention to details can help maximize profitability on brake service
  • Why certain brake pads may be the wrong choice for your application
  • How to prevent the top two brake issues: noise and pedal pulsation
