Brake Services for Your 2004 Dodge Intrepid

It’s best to get a brake check before your Dodge Intrepid shows signs of brake troubles. We offer free brake inspections as a benefit to all of our customers so that we can help prevent problems from starting in the first place. You can request a free brake inspection at any time or during another service, like a tire repair or an oil change. If you've been putting off regular car care, though, keep the following brake symptoms in mind.

Brake problems include unusual noises, a vibrating pedal or steering wheel, a burning smell around the tires, a “lit” dashboard brake signal, or a sensation that things aren't like they used to be. You know your Dodge Intrepid best. And you don't have to wait for something to go wrong. Stay ahead of problems with a free brake check. In general, manufacturers like Dodge advise that rear and front brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12,000 miles or 12 months. That also includes checking the e-brake. Brake service and/or repair should be performed as necessary. Not sure if something’s wrong? Stop by your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a quick brake inspection. All of our 1,700+ locations offer free brake checks seven days a week. Our technicians will inspect your 2004 Dodge Intrepid brakes, brake fluid level, and more! Properly maintaining your brake system is so important.

How often should you change your 2004 Dodge Intrepid’s brake pads? It depends largely on your driving style and terrain. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. If you often haul heavy loads or ride your brakes, your brake pads may wear out sooner. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your Intrepid. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers brake pad replacement for Dodge Intrepids that comes with a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are pretty common for us, and we only use brake parts that meet or exceed Dodge's standards.

Your Dodge Intrepid engine may be strong and reliable. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. But if you can’t stop it, it’s as good as scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Safe driving is difficult when your brakes are anything but their best. Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement. For example, if you drive with completely worn out brake pads, your rotors might start to warp, and the metal-to-metal grinding may compromise other healthy parts. Our technicians work to prevent more brake damage. Get your 2004 Dodge Intrepid brakes fixed at Firestone Complete Auto Care.
