Brake Test and Replacement near Duluth, MN
No matter your driving habits, the brakes on your car won’t last forever. To get them tested or replaced, visit the local Service Department at Waschke Family CDJR! Rely on our technicians to take great care of your Chrysler Pacifica, Jeep Wrangler, or Ram 1500.
Test
Every time you press down on the brake pedal on your way to Leif Erikson Park, the pads and rotors near your car’s wheels sustain minor wear and tear. Over time, they will take more damage and need to be swapped out. If it’s been a while since your last replacement, come get your brakes tested at our dealership. We’ll start by removing the wheels to get a better look at the brake pads, calipers, and rotors. By measuring the parts and checking them for scratches, we can determine if any need repairs. The pads will likely wear out the quickest, so if you hear screeching as you stop your car, visit us as soon as you can.
Replacement
After approximately 30,000 miles, most cars, trucks, and SUVs will require new brake pads. Rotors can last significantly longer, but they should be checked along with the pads to ensure that they’re able to bring you to a halt on Route 23. The brake fluid should also be changed on occasion, so browse your car’s Owner’s Manual to see when you should visit us. When you do, our team will get right to work to discover what has to be repaired. If any parts are needed for the replacement process, we will source them from our Parts Department that uses genuine Mopar® components.
Tips
We at Waschke Family CDJR want your new brakes to last as long as possible during your Duluth outings. For that reason, we highly recommend traveling at or below the speed limit. This will allow you to react to upcoming stops in advance and keep you from needing to slam on the brakes. Coasting to a stop whenever possible can also improve the lifespan of the brake pads. Furthermore, getting routine maintenance at our nearby location will ensure that minor problems don't get out of hand. Set up an appointment with our mechanics and reach out to them using the Ask a Tech form on our website. That way, we can offer expert advice for your vehicle maintenance.

Great Service!!
“ I recently worked with the service team at Waschke to diagnose and repair a major powertrain issue on my vehicle. My service advisor, Eric went above and beyond to help with my vehicle’s warranty claim. He took the time to communicate with the warranty company, sifted through 5 years worth of service records on my vehicle, and advocated on my behalf until the repair was ultimately covered. Eric's professionalism, persistence, and genuine care made a stressful situation much easier, and I’m incredibly grateful for his efforts. This was my first visit to Waschke after transferring service from another dealership, and to receive this kind of service as a first time customer, I can confidently say that I will be taking my vehicle to Waschke for all service going forward. ”
