The brake system is the most important part of a car. With safety always being front of mind, having high quality brake pads is essential. Although there are varying road conditions, with proper brake pads and rotors and quality parts, there will never be any uncertainty when handling difficult driving conditions. Brake Repair Oakville helps to maintain, repair, and replace your brakes. Replacing the brake pads during regular periods, any further issues can be avoided. Being proactive in getting your brakes assessed will alleviate the need for expensive rotor replacement or drum changes. If brakes go un-serviced for a long time, they can easily wear down and fail at any point.

brake repair oakvilleRule of Thumb

It is a good rule of thumb to get your brakes checked when getting an oil change, or tire rotation which is every few months. There are many noticeable signs that brakes will exhibit when they need to be repaired. Squeaking or grinding noises upon breaking, a soft brake pedal, shaking or vibrating during braking, and of course lights that appear on the dashboard.

There are two types of brake systems, standard brakes and ABS. A typical brake system is made up of the rotor, the caliper, and brake pads or shoes. New brake pads have an average of 8 to 12mm of thickness. Once they wear down to about 3mm of thickness, the squeaking typically begins. Brake Service Oakville can provide a quote depending on the condition of the brakes.

 

There are two different types of brake pads as well, disc brakes, or drum brakes. With either type, the braking system works by using friction and resistance to convert the kinetic energy created by the rotating tires and in turn slow the rotation of the tires.
