A Quick Primer on Brake Repair

You know your braking system is responsible for stopping your vehicle. But do you know how? When you apply a small amount of pressure to your auto’s brake pedal, it sets a series of actions behind the scenes that work using hydraulic fluid force and friction to reduce speed. A level and piston force fluid from the master cylinder through the brake lines/hoses to the cylinder at each wheel. The fluid force moves the brake caliper, enabling the brake pad to contact the rotor (disc). The friction produced from the metal-to-metal contact stops your vehicle. (If you drive a classic or your modern automobile’s rear brakes are the drum type, brake shoes contact the drum turning inside the wheel. Otherwise, the scientific principles remain the same.) When something disrupts this process that ultimately stops your car, we’ll need to inspect your brakes to identify the exact issue. However, there are some common repairs we’ll briefly mention here. Are you noticing squealing or grinding when you apply brakes? We’ll likely need to replace your brake pads. Once the metal thickness goes below 2/32″, the pads are no longer safe to use. A burning odor could point to a stuck brake caliper. If this component has decided to retire, one of our mechanics will need to replace it. If the brake pedal feels spongy, we’ll need to check your brake fluid levels and look to ensure there are no leaks. Finally, an illuminated anti-lock braking system (ABS) light can point to several possible issues. There’s no need to worry, however. We will find the problem.
