Your brake system plays a crucial role in keeping you, and other motorists on the road, safe.
Brake pads/shoes: the wearable part of the brake system that surround the rotor to reduce the heat created during braking.
Brake fluid: hydraulic fluid used to reduce heat and friction created during braking.
Caliper: holds the pads on the inside and outside of the rotor.
Rotors: rotating disc with two contact surfaces, sometimes cast with an air channel between two to alleviate heat.
Brake system evaluation: thorough and complete analysis of all brake system components including measuring the rotors and drums with a micrometer, checking the condition of the friction material (pads/shoes), examining the calipers, wheel cylinders, hardware, brake lines and hoses, master cylinder, proportional valve and more.
Brake maintenance service: includes lubrication and adjustment of the parking brake cables in addition to lubricating the caliper guide pins, star wheel adjuster, and backing plate pads on a drum brake as necessary.
Brake fluid exchange service: removes old brake fluid from the master cylinder, which is wiped clean; refill the reservoir with new manufacturers’ approved brake fluid and flush brakes until fresh fluid is flowing from each wheel location.
