Brake Services for Your 1989 Dodge B250

It’s best to get a brake check before your Dodge B250 shows signs of brake troubles. That's one reason we offer complimentary brake checks so that we can help you stay one step ahead of serious problems. You can request a free brake inspection at any time or during another service, like a battery replacement. If you've been putting off regular car care, though, keep the following brake symptoms in mind.

Symptoms of bad brakes include unusual sounds, vibration or pulsation in the pedal or steering wheel, a burning smell near your tires, a “lit” dashboard brake signal, or the feeling that something is "off." You know your Dodge B250 better than anyone else. Turn to our technicians to help keep your brakes at peak performance! Generally speaking, automakers like Dodge suggest that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are disassembled and serviced at least once every 12,000 miles or 12 months.

Proper brake maintenance is key to preventing problems in the first place.

How often should you change your 1989 Dodge B250’s brake pads? It depends on you and your driving style. In general, brake pads last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. Alternatively, riding the brakes and hauling heavy loads can shorten their useful life. Your brake pad replacement interval also depends on what kind of brake pads you have on your B250 right now. Are you still driving with the same pads as when you bought the car? Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Thankfully, when you get Dodge B250 brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are some of our most popular services. For your B250, we’ll use brake components that meet or exceed Dodge’s specs.

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Dodge  B250. One that can outlast the 170,000-mile mark. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best.
