Types of Brake Repair

There's are several components to your vehicle's brake system. Each one needs to be in prime shape to ensure your vehicle can stop when needed.

Components of a Braking System:

  • Brake calipers:  When pressure is applied to the brakes, brake fluid travels through a series of hoses to the calipers to squeeze the brake pad.
  • Brake pad: Once activated by the calipers, the brake pads squeeze against the rotor, creating friction.
  • Brake rotors: When pressure is applied to the rotors, these moving parts start to slow, which, in response, slows the wheels so you can brake.

When any of these main components are underperforming, the entire system could need attention. Don't wait to have your vehicle's brakes inspected by an expert.

Signs a Brake Service Is Needed

You may notice some indications that it's time for a brake service when driving around town. For example, you may know it's time for a brake pad replacement when you hear a squeaking when pressing your foot on the brake.

This is because brakes are equipped with a built-in wear indicator. When the brake pads are too thin-which happens normally over time-a pin will start to grind against the rotor, letting you know it's time for a fresh set of brake pads.

Other indications it's time for a brake service include:   

  • Longer-than-usual brake time
  • Vibrations in the brake pedal
  • Clicking sound when you brake

Noticing any of these signs? Don't wait to visit your local mechanic to have your vehicle's brakes inspected.
