FAQ's
If your vehicle’s ABS (anti-lock brake system) light is on, there are several potential causes. The most common include a malfunctioning ABS module, low brake fluid levels, broken wheel speed sensors, or the system being turned off.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer for brake pad lifespan. Some pads can last up to 70,000 miles, while others may need replacement as early as 25,000 miles. Factors such as your vehicle type, driving habits, and driving style all affect how long your brake pads last.
Your car’s owner manual will specify the type of brake fluid to use and how often it should be flushed and replaced. In general, most vehicles benefit from a brake fluid flush every 30,000 miles or every two years.
As part of our commitment to providing the best auto service experience, Dream Coast Auto offers a 12 month/12,000-miles warranty on all work performed. This warranty is honored at any of our locations, giving you peace of mind no matter where your vehicle is serviced.
With every visit, you’ll receive a complimentary Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI), giving you photos and videos of your vehicle’s condition from under the hood. Our team will inform you if everything is functioning properly or highlight any areas of concern. You can approve or decline service recommendations directly from your smartphone, or call us for a detailed explanation of our findings.
At Dream Coast Auto, we work with all major extended warranty providers to ensure your needed repairs are covered. If you have an extended warranty, discuss your provider with our team when scheduling an appointment to confirm coverage and get the service your vehicle needs.
