Brake Test and Replacement in Augusta, GA
Perhaps you've had a feeling that your car's brake system might not be in good shape, but you're not completely sure. The good news is that Gerald Jones Honda can perform a brake test and replace any parts if need be. Pencil in a service appointment for us to have your vehicle fixed and ready for travels in Augusta!
Brake Test
To pinpoint potential issues with your brake system, we test them here at our service bay. We'll drive it to see how well the system is performing and find out if there are any odd sounds coming from the system. Also, our technicians will carefully uninstall your Honda Accord’s tires and start examining your vehicle’s brake components. These include the brake pads to see if they’re at the correct thickness. Plus, we'll ensure that the rotors are still in good shape. This is because it’s important to make sure that they’re not warped as a result of too much heat buildup resulting from using the brakes in heavy traffic on I-20, for example. We also look at other components, including the brake hoses that transfer fluid that sends hydraulic pressure to help stop your car, since they can leak with time.
Brake Repair and Replacement
Moving on, we’ll describe what components are usually replaced and repaired when we examine your car at our service bay. Since your brake pads constantly rub against the rotors whenever you come to a stop, they’ll wear thin as time passes. This means that, at some point, your car will need a brand-new set installed. Your rotors may need to be resurfaced after driving to West Lake Country Club so many times, and this involves removing an outer layer of metal. This provides an even, clean sheet of metal for the brake pads to rub against, and this service prevents your vehicle from shaking as you drive. You can know the service timeline of your different brake parts by checking the Owner’s Manual of the Honda Ridgeline or any other car you own.
Warning Signs
To help you confidently know when your brake system needs to be inspected and repaired, we have several warning signs to discuss. You’ll hear a grinding sound whenever your car’s brake pads have completely gone out. This happens when the backing plate is exposed due to lack of padding and this metallic part rubs against the rotor. Maybe it takes longer than usual to arrive at a full stop. If this happens, your brake system will need to be inspected to see if the pads are too worn thin to help your vehicle stop properly anymore. If your car’s fluid lines are leaking, you can expect the brake indicator light to appear on your dashboard. Let’s discuss more warning signs at Gerald Jones Honda to help prepare you for when you need to schedule a service appointment!

Great experience.
Wonderful service for repairs!
“ Wonderful service for repairs! Quick, easy to set appointment, fast delivery with appointment, friendly staff right in the door, honest. I like that they only care about safety with the vehicles and not trying to roll anyone over for expensive repairs. They offered a lady in the waiting room next to me a car for the weekend since her vehicle needed extensive work. Great job all that work there. ”
People here are really not sales pushy.
“ Came here 2 yrs ago on fact-finding mission.left with Honda Pilot. People here are really not sales pushy. Outstanding service department to boot. ”
William Walker did an awesome job showing me different CRV’s
“ William Walker did an awesome job showing me different CRV’s and answering all of my questions. He rode with me several times to test drive and to demonstrate features of the car. He was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and patient. Although we didn’t close a deal this time, I will definitely ask for him next time! It was a very good experience. ”
Thank you Mr. Elam and the Honda service team.
“ With this being my first time getting an oil change I was met with welcomed and experience knowledge with Mr Elam. He instructed me on what to do this time and also next time about where to park for service. He made my visit there very pleasant and informational. I got out in a timely manner and was not late for work. Thank you Mr. Elam and the Honda service team. ”

Got a new CR-V with the help of Allen Baer.

GREAT customer service!!
“ GREAT customer service!! Awesome staff! No long waits & I highly recommended everyone to join the Honda experience!! ”
Gerald Jones Honda will be my first stop.
“ The staff was wonderful and very understanding of my situation. They asked what I needed or preferred and found the vehicle I desired with the payments under what I thought they would be. They did not push me or try to oversale like other dealerships I have been to. Next time I am in the market for another car, Gerald Jones Honda will be my first stop. ”
They were not pushy!
“ We went to the lot at what we thought was " after hours" because we did not want to be "bothered with salespeople" as we looked initially. We still encountered salespeople but to our surprise when we said we would like to just look on our own and later when we got serious at buying, they were not pushy! This was very important to us. They were all very helpful, knowledgeable and when they found that they did not have the exact car I wanted on the lot, they went in search of one for me. The deal was awesome. I highly recommend Gerald Jones Honda. ”
They helped me with my flat tire after hours!
“ I had a huge issue with my flat tire and they helped me to fix it on Saturday evening!! They’re very helpful and kind. The general manager was very supportive, polite and kind. I really suggest and approve this place and their staff! ”
Great experience finding our dream cars
“ My wife and I both got our new cars from here. We had a great experience finding our dream cars, thanks to friendly people like Mr. William Walker. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a Honda ”
Can't say enough good things about this shop.
“ Can't say enough good things about this shop. Go see Allen. He's the guy! ”
Will definitely purchase another car here again.
“ Bought a Honda Civic Sports Touring from Kendall. Really awesome guy that cut us a great deal and even stayed a bit after closing to show us every feature of our newly bought car. Every staff member there was respectable and personable, unlike another unnamed car dealership a few miles down Washington Rd. Will definitely purchase another car here again. ”
In and out fast with good service.
“ In and out fast with good service. I was out of town on a road trip with a flat tire. Very happy with the service, thank you for the help. ”
My first Honda came from Gerald Jones Honda in 1985.
“ My first Honda came from Gerald Jones Honda in 1985. I moved away not long after that, purchased several cars over the last 33 years, returned “home” last year and just bought my 5th Honda at Gerald Jones Honda! I can honestly say this was one of the best car buying experiences I have had over the years. Cam Griffin brought several cars to me at work to allow me to try different trim levels on my own. He made me laugh throughout the process and made it an awesome purchasing experience. I’m glad to have renewed my relationship with the great people at Gerald Jones Honda and look forward to many years of Honda care with them. ”
What a different experience
“ Was very apprehensive about buying a car in general due to prior bad experience. What a different experience this time. Will go back to Gerald Jones Honda again. Everyone was very helpful and friendly every step of the way. ”
Allen Baer was great
“ Our car buying experience with Gerald Jones Honda and particularly Allen Baer was great today. We’ve purchased many cars with Allen and would strongly recommend him to anyone! He’s very patient and thorough - as an example - he took notice of the temp setting in my old car and made sure to set it to the same temp in the new car before gettin g in it to drive off the lot. Allen took time to connect on a personal level - asking about family members and work, making it feel like we were doing business with a friend. The sales manager Monty was also instrumental in making this experience a good one. We hope to continue to do business with Gerald Jones ”
“ Great experience. Was running late so rep worked around and got me in within short period. Diagnosis was found quickly, part was ordered, and I was able to get out in timely fashion. Part was ordered, was available and is on its way from Atlanta. Rich Wallace. ”
