Service Overview
A seized caliper drags the brake constantly — overheating the rotor, wearing one pad to nothing, dragging fuel economy down, and pulling the car under braking.
The job involves the caliper, brake hose inspection, new fluid, full system bleed, and verification that the wheel spins free and brakes evenly.
Signs You Need This Service
- Car pulls to one side when braking
- One wheel noticeably hotter than the others
- Burning smell after driving
- One pad worn far faster than its pair
Consequences of Ignoring It
- Overheated brake fluid causing total brake fade
- Destroyed rotors and pads on the dragging corner
- Wheel-bearing damage from constant heat
Recommended Service Interval
No fixed interval — calipers fail from corrosion and age, more often in salt-belt states like Indiana.
