Frequently Asked Questions
What is the function of brakes in a vehicle?
Brakes are a critical safety system for a vehicle. The main function of brakes is to slow down or stop a vehicle by converting its kinetic energy into heat.
What are the different types of brakes?
The two main types of brakes are disc brakes and drum brakes. Disc brakes consist of a brake rotor attached directly to the wheel. Drum brakes consist of a brake drum attached to the inside of the wheel.
How often should I replace my brake pads?
Brake pads should typically be replaced after about 50,000 miles, but this can vary depending on your vehicle’s make and model, your driving habits, and the quality of the brake pads.
What are the signs that my brakes need servicing?
What is brake fluid, and why is it important?
Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid used in hydraulic brake systems to create the pressure that slows or stops your vehicle. It’s important because, without it, your brakes wouldn’t work.
What happens during a brake inspection?
During a brake inspection, a mechanic will check the brake pads, rotors, shoes, drum, and brake fluid. They’ll look for wear and tear and ensure everything works properly.
Why does my brake pedal feel spongy?
What is ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), and how does it work?
How does the parking brake work?
What is brake fade?
Brake fade is the reduction in stopping power after repeated or sustained application of the brakes, especially in high load or high-speed conditions. This is usually due to overheating.
