Brake Test and Replacement in Springfield, VA
Have you noticed some trouble stopping on your way to Franconia Park? It might be time to bring your vehicle to Sheehy Subaru Springfield for a brake test or replacement.
Brake Parts
In order to bring your Subaru Ascent or Crosstrek to a complete halt, it needs many components to work together when you press your foot on the brake pedal. First, the pressure is transferred to the calipers via a specialized brake fluid. Then, the brake pads are squeezed against the metal rotors near the wheel, which creates a great deal of friction. This is what slows the velocity of your car when you arrive at your destination. Since the pads are made of a softer material that doesn't overheat easily, they usually need to be replaced more often. If you hear a screeching noise or have difficulty slowing down on I-95, you should drop by for a test.
Brake Test
Since being able to stop at a moment's notice is essential for your safety during Springfield outings, we recommend getting a brake test at least once a year. When you visit our Service Department for this maintenance, we will start by removing the wheels to get a better look at the stopping mechanism. If the pads are worn away past a certain point, then you may need new ones. The rotors last significantly longer, but they can also become damaged over time, especially with repeated use. It’s a good idea to get the pads replaced every 30,000 miles or so, but check your Owner’s Manual for further information.
Brake Replacement
A car’s brakes are meant to be replaceable, so rely on our team members to swap out any spent parts with ease. If the brake pads are in need of attention, we’ll start by removing each one. Then, the rotors will be taken off if they are in disrepair. After placing the factory-fresh parts on your Subaru, we’ll calibrate and test the mechanisms to ensure that your vehicle is ready for the road. We can also check and change your brake fluid if its performance has waned. We welcome you to take a look at our ongoing service specials in order to conserve funds! Also, set up an appointment online to have us replace your brakes.

Absolute great experience
“ Absolute great experience buying a new car from Chris LaPorte of Sheehy Subaru. He respected my time and wasn't pushy. Internet car dealers might be nice for shopping from home, but nothing beats having someone you can reach out to with a text message and getting a live person to respond. Chris was there with answers and helped me choose the right options for me. When it came time to take delivery, Chris came and picked me up at my house! Who else will do that for you? If you are looking for outstanding value in a new car and exceptional service, call my boy Chris LaPorte and check out the new Subarus. It's worth it! ”

Positive Experience
“ Sheehy Subaru of Springfield is the only place we would ever purchase a Subaru. And we have purchased or leased six different Subarus from Sheehy. Every experience with this dealership, from sales to service, has been positive. Our most recent purchase occurred at the beginning of December. We purchased a 2023 Outback, Wilderness Edition. Our sales associate, Shabir Baba, assisted us in ordering our car, kept us updated on its status, and guided us through the final delivery and purchase. If you are considering purchasing a Subaru call Sheehy and ask for Shabir, you will not regret it. ”
Liked my experience
“ I liked my experience buying my new Impreza at this location with Jay. Not sure if it was because I didn’t go by myself and came with someone, but my experience felt good. When I drove off the lot I didnt have the feeling of regret or remorse. I didn’t have “oh god, what have I done.” The car was worth the money and I got a beautiful apple/cranberry color. Thank you Jay! ”

The General Manager Chris was superb as well. He honored our discount from the Subaru corporate office and was very professional and accommodating. AJ, the Finance Manager, was great, too. Nobody was pushy or put any pressure on me. They were just professional, informative and did what they could to make me happy and comfortable with my purchase. I highly recommend the Sheehy Springfield Subaru team. ”
