A fully functioning brake system is crucial to your safety, the safety of your passengers, and the safety of other drivers on the road. When you press down on the brake pedal, the master cylinder pressurizes a system of hydraulic brake lines leading to each of the vehicle’s wheels, where brake pads or shoes press against a disc or drum and create the necessary friction needed to slow the vehicle to a complete stop. Over time, this friction and heat has the potential to wear down the brake shoes, brake pads, calipers, brake rotors, and other braking components. While the components comprising each brake system may vary, the warning signs for impending brake repairs are the same.
Without working brakes, your car won’t be able to slow down or come to a stop. Your braking system is made up of components that need brake fluid to keep them lubricated. Regular brake maintenance and repair will ensure that your brakes engage every time you press on the brake pedal. Brake components are made with materials that, by design, gradually wear due to friction and will need replacement. Worn brakes pad put stress on other parts of the brake system, including rotors, drums, and calipers. If any of these parts become damaged, it will be costly to repair. Routine brake maintenance and repair will ensure the safety and reliability of your vehicle and save you money on brake repair bills if issues are left unattended.
