2018 Ford Transit Connect Wagon Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing brake pads and rotors together on a 2018 Ford Transit Connect Wagon is the best way to restore braking performance and prolong component life. When you fit new pads to worn or scored rotors, the new material wears unevenly and reduces braking efficiency; pairing new pads with new or resurfaced rotors delivers consistent contact, smoother stopping, and quieter operation. At Coggin Ford Jacksonville our technicians inspect pad thickness, rotor runout, and hat-to-rotor fit during every service. We’ll measure rotor thickness and machining limits and recommend resurfacing only when it meets the vehicle specifications. Using OEM Ford pads and rotors preserves braking feel calibrated by the factory and reduces the chance of vibration or premature wear. Our experienced team documents measurements, explains the findings in plain language, and provides a written estimate before work begins so you know the true value. To schedule an inspection and take advantage of current offers, you can schedule service online or view our service specials to save on combined pad-and-rotor service.

2018 Ford Transit Connect Wagon Brake Warranty

Warranty protection matters.

Our service advisors will review your vehicle’s warranty status, explain what’s covered, and outline any steps needed to maintain your coverage. We also offer service financing and transparent pricing so you can proceed with necessary repairs without delay and benefit from long-term peace of mind.
