Brake System

Brakes are the single most important safety system of a vehicle. The ability to stop your vehicle could be a matter of life and death. Maintaining your brakes is important to ensure the safety of the people in your vehicle as well as the people that are on the road.

In this section of our website, we will look at the components that make up the brake system, how they function, how they can fail, and how to diagnose problems quickly and efficiently. We provide step-by-step guides to help you repair them.

Before attempting any brake repairs, a thorough brake inspection is always the first step. It will eliminate the frustration of having to redo a job because you did not fix the entire problem the first time around. Regular routine brake inspections will ensure that brakes are in peak working order and can help prevent problems from developing in the first place. A good schedule for regular brake inspections is whenever the tires are rotated, or every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, which ever comes first. With brakes you can never be too careful.
