The Importance of Brake Repair and Maintenance

Without working brakes, your car will not 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. Worn brake pads 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.

• A high-pitched squeak when you press the brake pedal

• A scratching or grinding noise when not braking, as this could be an indication of a brake or bearing concern and ought to be evaluated right away

• Shaking or vibration in the course of stopping

• Requiring more pressure to stop than normal
