2018 Ford Explorer Brake Warranty
Your 2018 Ford Explorer may still have warranty considerations that affect brake repairs. When warranty coverage applies, work must be completed by a certified franchise dealer to keep that coverage intact—something independent shops cannot guarantee. At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa our technicians are factory-trained to follow Ford procedures exactly, use OEM parts, and file warranty claims properly on your behalf. Even if your Explorer’s original coverage has expired, choosing dealership service protects future claims and maintains a transparent service history that improves resale value. We also provide clear guidance about what may be covered and what is not, and we list current discounts through our service specials. If up-front cost is a concern, we offer service financing so you can get necessary repairs now and pay over time. To protect your investment, schedule service with us and receive a documented estimate, expert installation, and the peace of mind that comes with factory-backed work and a trusted repair record.
2018 Ford Explorer Brake Pads and Rotors
Replacing both brake pads and rotors at the same time delivers the most reliable stopping performance for your 2018 Ford Explorer. New pads on worn rotors can lead to uneven contact, premature pad wear, vibration, and reduced braking efficiency. Our certified technicians inspect rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition, and advise whether resurfacing or replacement is the safer, longer-lasting option. We use Ford-approved rotors and pads, ensuring fitment, heat tolerance, and bedding characteristics match the vehicle’s design. Performing both services together reduces labor duplication, saves time, and often lowers the total cost compared with separate visits. You’ll benefit from a quieter brake system, reduced brake dust, and better pedal feel—immediate improvements that also reduce the likelihood of costly repairs later. Learn about current savings through service specials, or schedule service to have our team perform a full inspection and complete brake work in one visit for maximum value.
