How Do Brakes Work?
Here’s a quick look at the key parts we inspect and repair:
🛠️ Brake Pads
These create the friction needed to stop your vehicle. They wear over time and must be replaced regularly to maintain safe stopping power.
🔩 Brake Discs (Rotors)
Mounted to the wheel hub, discs work with pads to slow the car. If worn, warped or damaged, they need replacing for smooth braking.
🔧 Brake Calipers
These apply pressure to the brake pads. If a caliper seizes or leaks, braking becomes uneven and dangerous.
💧 Brake Fluid
Essential for hydraulic pressure. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, so a change every two years is key to maintaining braking force.
