Detailed Brake Inspections
When you come to us for a brake inspection, we leave no stone unturned. Your brakes actually consist of a complex system. If any single part of that system fails, your brakes will stop working the way they should. This is why we perform the most detail-oriented brake inspections in the industry. Our technicians use the inspection guidelines for each automotive manufacturer to ensure that your brakes are working as well as they did the day you got your car. In order to do that, we inspect your:
- Brake Pads – Your brake pads are the pieces that apply friction to the rotors to slow down your vehicle. Since these take the majority of the impact, you need to replace them regularly. When brake pads wear down too much, they create a squealing or grinding noise.
- Brake Rotors – Your rotors are the metal discs that sit behind your tires. The brake pads squeeze against the rotors, creating enough friction to bring your car to a stop. These do not need to be replaced as often as brake pads. They can develop uneven patterns of wear that can compromise your ability to brake.
- Brake Calipers – Your calipers are the mechanisms that move your brake pads. They act like pistons, pushing your brake pads against your rotors whenever you step on your brake pedal. Calipers last longer than brake pads or rotors, but after a while, they can stick or leak.
- Hoses and Fluids – Your brake fluid moves through various hoses. The condition of these hoses is critical to the safe function of your brakes. As these hoses get older, they tend to crack, resulting in fluid leaks.
