Description of Brake Services
A fully functioning brake system is crucial to your safety, the safety of your passengers, and the
safety of other drivers on the road. Your vehicle’s brake system involves highly engineered parts and
precise movements that stop your vehicle by converting kinetic energy into thermal energy. When you
press down on the brake pedal, the master cylinder pressurizes a system of hydraulic brake lines leading
to each of the vehicle’s wheels, where brake pads or shoes press against a disc or drum and create the
necessary friction needed to slow the vehicle to a complete stop. Over time, this friction and heat has
the potential to wear down the brake shoes, brake pads, calipers, brake rotors, and other braking
components. While the components comprising each brake system may vary, the warning signs for impending
brake repairs are the same.
Benefits of Brake Repair with Tire Depot
Bad brakes display warning signs for impending brake maintenance. For example, if your brakes squeal or
grind when in use, then your brake pads may be worn and require replacements. If your vehicle pulls to
one side when braking, then this may point to worn brakes, a malfunctioning caliper, or low brake fluid
in the brake lines. If your brake pedal presses down too easily—also known as “spongy” brakes—then this
may be an indication of too much air in the hydraulic brake lines. Sometimes, your vehicle’s electronic
diagnostic system will alert you to a potential brake issue by a service indicator light on the
dashboard. While these are only some of the most common signs of potential problems with your vehicle’s
brake system, noticing these signs of faulty brakes and seeking out a brake service can save you money
down the line. Our staff is trained in maintaining and servicing front and rear brake systems and all
accompanying brake system components like brake pads, brake shoes, parking brakes, rotors, drums, and
hydraulic systems. If you experience any of the above signs or symptoms of bad brakes, like unusual
squealing or grinding noises, then contact us online or call us today to have your brakes inspected.
