Brake System
There’s multiple parts to your brake system, and each one requires check-ups and inspections to ensure it's working properly. The brake pedal is the first part of this mechanism, which supplies the hydraulic brake fluid to the pads and rotors. The former then presses down on the latter, which moves along with the wheel. These parts receive the brunt force of breaking and wear down more quickly than other components. This is why a test and inspection would benefit you when you’re unsure of the last time you received this service. Your Owner’s Manual has recommendations directly from the manufacturer that you can also reference if you’re building a timeline.
Test and Inspection
Our Service Department will perform a number of inspections to ensure your brake system is in an acceptable state before you hit I-35. First, we will remove your car’s tires to get a clear look at any mechanisms behind them. Our technicians perform a visual check to see the level of degradation, if any at all, on the rotors and pads. We will revise the responsiveness of your pedal with the brake system to ensure you’re stopping effectively. Next, we will check the hydraulic fluid levels so you’re not running low in times of need. If any part is worn down to unsafe levels for your constant trips to the San Antonio Zoo, then we will be more than happy to assist you with components from our very own World Car Hyundai South Parts Department!
Warning Signs
Some of the most clear indicators of something wrong with your brake system are low fluid levels and noticeable wear and tear. However, when you’re driving, you might also notice different signs. The constant squealing or grinding when you’re stopping are an audible warning to something wrong with your brakes. If the pedal is soft or spongy when you try to stop at a red light, don’t let it get worse and instead visit our location. Our technicians will happily help you when you use our Ask a Tech form!
Brake System Warning Signs

“ Our salesman was great and polite the process went well even though it was very long to find something that was suitable for our growing family. But currently disappointed we haven't had our vehicle for two months and already the service engine light went on. I currently tried messaging our salesman (Adam)for help and no answer and spoke to the manager of the concern and service for vehicles aren't a plus through the weekend so was told I had to wait till Monday. I just don't understand how you can sale someone a Hyundai palisade 2022 without even making sure the vehicle is reliable and y'all have the equipment for that. I feel like we got burned in this sale because we barley made the first payment and haven't had the vehicle for six months. So please make sure if your getting a used vehicle or vehicle that's pre certified make sure it's in great condition because their diagnostic charge is ridiculous and I can't imagine anything else for parts and stuff. ”
“ Went to get a replacement engine and they forgot to put my under carriage panel back and now there is a bunch of loose and exposed pieces. Only noticed when I went to do my own oil change 3 months later. ”
“ I was told by this location that they engage in the same practice as their north location when handling warranty on new cars for the previous year model. I went to the north location to purchase a new 2025 car on 2/14/2026. While signing the paperwork it showed the warranty started 12/1/2025 more that 2 months before the time of purchase. I was told at that point that the vehicle was marked sold at the end of 2025. But also that I was the first owner and that it was a new car, never sold. They are either committing tax fraud or selling used cars as new. ”
“ I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the recent service experience at your location. When I arrived, I clearly communicated the issue with my vehicle and identified the specific part that needed to be replaced. Despite providing this information upfront, it took three full business days for your team to diagnose the issue—only to confirm that it was exactly what I had originally stated. While I understand that diagnostic procedures must be followed, the extended delay was unnecessary and compounded by a lack of communication. At no point was I proactively updated on the status of my vehicle; I had to initiate contact myself to receive information. As a direct result of the delay, I was forced to rent a vehicle for six days. This created an additional financial burden on top of the service costs—expenses that could have been significantly reduced had the repair been handled more efficiently. Additionally, I was not provided the military discount that I was eligible for, which was disappointing given my service and the expectation that this benefit would be honored. Between the prolonged diagnosis, lack of communication, and added rental expenses, this experience has fallen well below acceptable standards. For these reasons, I will not be returning to this location for future service needs. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so that other customers do not encounter similar issues. ”
“ First off, I want to say the sales person, Eulia, was very kind. No issues with her. Now, my husband and I live in Round Rock, 2.5 hrs away. We saw a 2021 Z71 Tahoe online. The pictures were not the best, so my husband asked if they would send him a video of the vehicle, asked if there was any damage to the vehicle or any mechanical issues, WHICH THEY SAID NO, AND if we could hear it running...video had NO SOUND! Well, the vehicle looked almost perfect, no dings or anything, interior looked in great condition....long story, short....after drIving 2.5 hours....THERE WAS EXTERIOR DAMAGE, THAT WAS NOT SHOWN IN THE VIDEO, AND AS SOON AS MY HUSBAND TRIED TO SIMPLY MOVE OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE...IT MADE SO MUCH NOISE, WOBBLED AND BOUNCED...THERE WAS NO WAY THEY SERVICED IT, LIKE THEY SAID, OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT! My husband and I got out of the Tahoe and straight to our vehicle to leave. The manager came out, looked as if HE WAS UPSET AND PUT OUT, got in the Tahoe, as we watched him TRY to pull out of the parking space, the front end bounced so much it was crazy! ”
“ They totally fooled me and caused me a loss of getting to purchase a new vehicle during my search for a Palisade. Salesman said no after market additions would happen. That the window tint was supposed to be factory window tint only, per our discussion. $800, TO ADD TINT. I DON'T CARE WHAT KIND OF TINT.IT WAS, STILL WASN'T EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTHY. Or requested. And I doubt they put it on . I am still upset this fell through. Communication was out of control and General Manager was extremely rude when speaking to me on Christmas Eve. He said to me Its Christmas eve and I dont want to (tick) him off or make him in a bad mood. I received more messages from World Car. Asked them to Please remove my name from their distribution list. Friends just went through something similar with them as well.Their loss. ******************************* Mr. Brent Smithson, I am waiting on your call. I sent a reply to your request to discuss this. Your email below bounced back, but I found the new one. Thank you. ”
“ Just think about the car I got 5 years ago here and how bad the experience was in comparison to the Toyota I just bought…. This place SUCKS ”


“ The team that worked with me were kind. They went out of their way to help find me the car I wanted. ”
