Brake Repair/Service/Replacement in Phoenix AZ

Brake Repair to perhaps the most important safety feature built into your vehicle, and the one you use every time you drive, is really important.  Your car’s brakes are a key component to your vehicle. As they help keep your car a safe distance from other vehicles and hazards on the road.

There are two main kinds of brakes:

drum brakes and disc brakes.  Drum brakes stop your car by generating friction on the brake through the brake shoes or pads.  The harder you press the brake pedal the tighter the shoes squeeze against the drum.

The second common type of brake is a disc brake.  Disc brakes also work to stop your vehicle by applying pressure via shoes or pads. Instead of squeezing a brake drum they press against a brake rotor or “disc.”  This type of braking system uses calipers to apply the friction of the shoes onto the rotor.

Parts of Brakes:

Stopping on a dime requires the different parts of the brake to be working together in unison. Whether your car is equipped with drum brakes or disc brakes, and having your brakes checked regularly, including the brake rotors, brake pads, brake lines, brake hoses, and brake calipers, will help ensure your car slows down properly when you see those brake lights in front of you.

Brake Care:

Including the measurement of your brake pads, drums, rotors, and testing your brake fluid. Can help you avoid significant repairs and can help keep you and your passengers safe on the road. Even if your brake pedal feels soft, or if it requires significant pressure to apply the brakes, this may be a sign that there is air in your brake fluid.This can be fixed with a brake bleed.
