How Do the Brakes in my Car Work?
When you press the brake pedal in the car, there is a lot that has to happen to bring your vehicle to a safe stop. When you press the brakes, the cylinders automatically release brake fluid to the calipers. Then, the calipers apply power to the brake pads, bringing your vehicle to a stop. The brake pads apply pressure against the rotors, creating friction between your vehicle’s axle and the pads. It is this friction that ultimately brings your vehicle to a complete stop. If your vehicle is not able to generate enough friction, then it might not come to a stop in time.
How Do I Know if My Brake Pads Are Pad?
From time to time, you may have to replace your brake pads. There are several issues you may notice if your brake pads have gone bad. For example, you may notice that there is a lot of squeaking when you press the brakes. Or, you may feel like it takes your vehicle longer to come to a complete stop. You might also notice that you need to push your brakes further into the ground before your vehicle comes to a stop. These are all signs that something could be wrong with your brake pads, and you need to get them inspected by an expert team.
What Is Included in a Brake Inspection?
There are a lot of tasks that have to be completed during a brake inspection. For example, we will take a look at your brake fluid level to make sure it is appropriate. We will also take a look at your brake pads to make sure they still have enough life left on them. Our team will also take a look at your brake rotors to ensure they are not worn out. If any of these components are worn out, we will help you replace them. We will also take a look at your parking brake cables, various hoses, your wheel cylinders, and your master cylinder exchange. All of this is important for ensuring that your vehicle comes to a complete stop when you hit the brakes. Count on the expert team from Anderson Honda to help you.
How Often Do I Need My Brakes Inspected?
The exact timeline of all maintenance checks is going to vary from vehicle to vehicle. In general, you should get your vehicle inspected at least once per year or every 10,000 miles. This is required for registering your car in the state. At the same time, we will let you know exactly when it is time for you to bring your vehicle back for an inspection. We will always take a look at your brakes to make sure they work well because they are an important component of your safety when you get behind the wheel.
