Brake Repair Service

Elements of brake systems

The brake system of a vehicle consists of several fundamental components that work together to stop the vehicle safely and efficiently. At Performance Tire & Wheel, our highly trained technicians understand the complexity of these systems and are prepared to address any problem that may arise. The key components of a brake system include:

• Pads and shoes: These elements exert pressure on the rotor or drum to stop the movement of the wheels. Great pads provide greater braking power and are more commonly used in disc braking systems.
• Disks and drums: The brake discs revolve with the wheels and are fastened by brake tweezers, while brake drums are used in vehicles with drum brakes.
• Brake fluid: This fluid transmits the force generated by the brake pedal to the braking components.
• Anti-lock brake system (ABS): Designed to prevent wheel lock during sharp braking, thus improving the stability and control of the vehicle.

Signs that your brakes need repair

The early detection of problems in the brake system is crucial to guarantee road safety. Some common warning signals that indicate the need for brake repair include: Abnormalities: squeaks or creaks when braking can indicate excessive wear of brake pads.

• Abnormalities: squeaks or creaks when braking can indicate excessive wear of brake pads.
• Vibrations or pulsations: if you feel unusual vibrations or pulsations on the brake pedal, it could be a sign of deformed or worn brake discs
• Warnings: The activation of brake warning light indicates a problem in the brake system that requires immediate attention.
• 10,000 miles traveled: The specific recommendations for the brand and model of your vehicle can be found in the owner's manual. In general, manufacturers recommend checking the brakes every 10,000 miles.

The timely recognition of these signals will allow you to address braking problems before they become dangerous situations on the road.

The brakes play a critical role in the safety of the vehicle and those who occupy it, and its correct operation is essential to avoid accidents and guarantee effective vehicle control in emergency situations.

Consequences of not carrying out the repair of brakes in a timely manner

The omission or delay in brake repair can lead to serious consequences for both the vehicle and for occupants' safety. Some of the possible consequences of not addressing time braking problems include:

• Wear of other components: excessive wear of brake pads or discs can negatively affect other elements of the brake system, resulting in expensive additional repairs.
• Brake performance handle: prolonged wear or damage to braking components can reduce vehicle detention capacity, increasing the risk of accidents.
• Duress on other vehicle components: a decrease in braking capacity can exert additional pressure on other vehicle systems, such as suspension and tires, which potentially leads to more serious problems.
• Accident Risk: The lack of effective braking capacity significantly increases the risk of being involved in traffic accidents, endangering the safety of all occupants of the vehicle and other road users.

It is crucial to understand that the timely brake repair not only preserves the integrity of the vehicle, but also protects life.
