The brake system is responsible for slowing down or stopping your vehicle, ensuring you have control and can navigate to your destination with confidence. It consists of several components that work together to convert the energy of motion into heat, ultimately slowing down your vehicle. It begins when you step on the brake pedal. Hydraulic pressure is created, which is transmitted through brake lines and hoses to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders. These calipers or cylinders apply pressure to the brake pads or shoes, creating friction against the rotors or drums, respectively. This friction slows down the spinning wheels and brings your vehicle to a stop.
One common issue is brake pad or shoe wear. As these parts wear down over time from the normal operation of your vehicle, they become less effective at providing the necessary friction to stop your vehicle quickly. Have your brake pads or shoes inspected and replaced when the material is low to maintain optimal brake performance.
Other issues that can occur include:
If you notice reduced braking ability, longer stopping times, squeaking or grinding noises, a difference in the brake pedal (stiff, pulsating, or no resistance), or the brake warning light on your dashboard, contact Marshall Cretin Auto Care for a brake inspection and repair.
