Brakes Pads & Rotors: Teslas are heavy cars and with the amount of braking required on our mountainous roads, brake wear is increased. Braking components wear and need attention. 

Brake Fluid Check & Flush: It's advised to check the level of break fluid every two years and perform a brake fluid flush if the level is low.  

Clean and Lubricate Brake Calipers. At Quality Automotive Servicing we follow the Tesla recommendations to lubricate brake caliper pads every year for cold weather regions.

FAQ

What is Regenerative braking? 

Tesla vehicles are heavy and rely on regenerative braking. The Tesla system uses the motor to slow down the vehicle which reduces the physical wear on brakes.
