2020 Subaru Forester Brake Specials: Specs & Service

Mike Shaw Subaru assesses the brake system as a group rather than focusing on one part in isolation. That approach helps identify wear that could shorten the life of a newly installed component. The inspection is available in Thornton through the service department.

• Pad material measurement on all four corners
• Rotor thickness and runout measurement
• Caliper, hose, hardware, and fluid-condition inspection

Brake fluid condition is reviewed as part of a broader brake assessment. Drivers may notice a soft or pulsing pedal, a brake warning light, or fluid that looks dark. Mike Shaw Subaru in Thornton can check the fluid and inspect related brake components during the same visit.

• Brake-fluid replacement interval: every 30,000 miles
• Fluid condition is inspected during brake service
• A soft pedal or warning light warrants attention

These symptoms can involve pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, hardware, or brake fluid. Grinding and changes in pedal feel deserve prompt attention because continuing to drive may affect additional components. A complete inspection at Mike Shaw Subaru in Thornton can identify what the system needs.

• Squealing, scraping, or grinding while braking
• Pulsing or softness at the brake pedal
• Brake warning light or dark fluid

Mike Shaw Subaru measures rotor thickness and runout instead of automatically replacing both components.
