Close Brake Test and Replacement in White Plains, NY
Keeping a car in good condition requires consistent care, so bring your BMW to BMW of Westchester! Our certified technicians can tend to the brakes when you visit our Service Department for a test and replacement.
Warning Signs
First of all, it's important to know how to tell when your vehicle's brakes are in need of maintenance. It's a good idea to drop by our dealership location if you realize that your BMW X7 or 5 Series Sedan is having trouble coming to a complete stop. Additionally, listen for a squealing or screeching noise when you press down on the brake pedal during a trip to Kensico Dam Plaza. This could mean that the brake pads have fully worn away, which can damage other components. Beware a burning smell when you are driving around mountainous areas, because it likely means you’re overusing the brakes.
Brake Test
Whether or not you have noticed any of the aforementioned warning signs, it's a good idea to get a yearly brake test. This allows us to determine the current condition of your car's components. When you drop by our nearby location, our trained team members will start by removing the wheels to get a better look at each of the brakes. We’ll then measure how much of the brake pad is left and check out the rotors for damage. Additionally, we can test the brake fluid to see if it needs to be replaced. If your BMW 3 Series or X5 is in good condition, we will provide you with an estimate of the brakes’ remaining lifespan.
Brake Replacement
All brakes will need to be replaced eventually. Most pads last 15,000 to 30,000 miles, but this varies depending on whether you frequently travel in the city or on open freeways like I-287. More stopping means that you’ll need service more often. In the event that your car’s brakes need to be replaced, we’ll source them from our well-stocked Parts Department so that you’ll know you’re getting high-quality genuine BMW items for the job. Then, we will properly dispose of the old units and install the new ones on your behalf. We can also exchange other parts if they’re damaged, like the rotors, calipers, and more. After we’re done, you’ll be set to continue traveling around White Plains for many miles to come. Feel free to get in touch with us using the Ask a Tech form on our website.
How Long Do Brakes Last?

Exceptional Experience with Frank Marte and Said Haider
“ Exceptional Experience with Frank Marte and Said Haider I recently had the most pleasant experience at this BMW dealership, thanks to Frank Marte and Said Haider. Frank, the client advisor, was beyond helpful. Knowing I was driving in from an hour away, he started the process over email and phone, ensuring everything would be quick and easy upon my arrival. Frank went above and beyond to help me find the exact car I was looking for, carefully listening to my preferences and needs. He negotiated the best price for me with complete transparency, which was incredibly reassuring. The sales staff were the friendliest and most professional I have ever encountered. From the moment I walked in, I was treated with utmost respect and courtesy. Said Haider, the after sales and compliance manager, was also very professional and to the point. They didn’t waste my time or pressure me into buying unnecessary packages. Their respectfulness and helpfulness were truly remarkable. The entire process was smooth and efficient. Frank ensured that all paperwork was ready, and I didn't have to wait long at all. I appreciated how they valued my time and made the whole experience hassle-free. The dealership was clean, well-organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere that made me feel comfortable and valued as a customer. I am still in awe of the experience I had. In all my years of leasing vehicles, this was by far the most pleasant of them all. The level of customer service and professionalism exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be back for my next lease and will highly recommend this dealership to all my friends and family. The way they do business is definitely worth the ride. Thank you, Frank and Said, for making this such a memorable and positive experience! ”
