1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas Brake Service & Repair

It's a good idea to have your 1989 Jaguar  Vanden Plas brakes serviced before a problem arises. You don't have to wait for something to go wrong. 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 check as a standalone service or in addition to work you're already having done on your Jaguar, like a tire repair or an oil change. If life has gotten in the way of everyday car care, keep the following brake information in mind.

Symptoms of bad brakes include unusual sounds, pulsation or vibration in the steering wheel or pedal, a burning smell near your tires, a “lit” dashboard brake signal, or a gut feeling that something’s not right. You know your Jaguar Vanden Plas like the back of your hand. Turn to our technicians to help keep your brakes at peak performance! In general, manufacturers like Jaguar advise that rear and front brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles. That includes checking the parking brake, too. Brake service and/or repair should be performed as necessary. Want to keep your brakes ready for anything? Stop at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a quick inspection. Most of our locations are open seven days a week and in the evening for free brake checks. Our ASE Certified technicians will gladly inspect your  1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas brakes. Proper brake maintenance is key to preventing problems in the first place.

How often do 1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas brake pads need to be replaced? It largely depends on where and how you drive. 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. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your Vanden Plas. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers brake pad replacement for Jaguar Vanden Plass that comes with a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your Vanden Plas, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass Jaguar’s standards.

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Jaguar  Vanden Plas. One that's ready to get you to 200,000 miles and beyond. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. Plus, ignoring your brake problems can result in more damage and higher brake repair bills. For example, rotors start to warp and become damaged when completely worn brake pads exceed their lifespan, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components. Our technicians work to prevent more brake damage. Get your 1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas brakes fixed at Firestone Complete Auto Care.
