How do brakes work?
Just as your ankle bone is connected to your foot bone, your brake system relies on each connected brake part to function successfully — and safely.Here’s a quick lesson: By pressing down on the brake pedal, you activate the cylinder that delivers brake fluid to the calipers that then engage your brake pads. Your brake pads then apply pressure to the rotors, creating the friction needed to stop your car. You see, it’s all connected.
All your brake parts work together to perform one important and crucial function: safe and precise stopping power.
What is a Brake Inspection?
Thorough, comprehensive, extensive, and methodical are just a few characteristics that describe our brake inspections. When we say brake inspection, we not only mean it, but we demonstrate it on every automobile we service. Because in order to detect a problem, we need technicians that not only can spot potential problems, but also have the know-how and precision to regain brake awesomeness. When we’re finished, you’ll have total confidence knowing your ride has received a brake inspection that’s hard to match.Brake Inspection includes checking your brake:
- pads (and/or shoes)
- calipers
- rotors (and/or drums)
- wheel cylinders
- hardware (springs and adjusters)
- hoses
- parking brake cables
- fluid condition
- wheel bearings and grease seals
- master cylinder fluid exchange
