Don’t wait until your brakes start making strange noises, grinding, or pulsing before having them inspected. Regular inspections of your brakes and brake parts could help you save money on your next brake repair or maintenance.
Let our skilled team at Automotive Excellence check your brakes if you notice any strange noises when you brake or if your brake pedal feels soft, spongy, or excessively hard. If there is a problem, we’ll let you know what it is and how long it will take to fix your brakes completely.
REMINDER: One of the most frequently overlooked maintenance items is brake fluid. To prevent corrosion, the brake fluid must be changed on average every two years or 30,000 miles because it is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).

Brakes are a critical safety component. They allow you to slow down and stop your vehicle, which is essential for avoiding accidents. Regular maintenance and repairs can help keep your brakes in good working order and ensure optimal braking performance.
Worn brake pads, damaged rotors, or malfunctioning brake systems can significantly compromise a vehicle’s ability to stop efficiently, leading to longer stopping distances and increased risk of collisions. Ignoring brake issues can escalate the problem, potentially resulting in more extensive and costly repairs.
Furthermore, a well-maintained braking system contributes to overall driving comfort and confidence. Squealing, grinding, or vibrations during braking can indicate underlying problems that need immediate attention. Regular brake inspections, swift repairs, and replacement of worn components guarantee that drivers can rely on their brakes in critical situations.

Disc brakes consist of a Disc Brake Rotor, which is attached to the wheel, and a Caliper, which holds the Disc Brake Pads. Hydraulic pressure from the Master Cylinder causes the Caliper Piston to clamp the Disc Brake Rotor between the Disc Brake Pads. This creates friction between the pads and rotor, causing your car to slow down or stop.
Components:
Drum brakes consist of a Brake Drum attached to the wheel, a Wheel Cylinder, Brake Shoes and Brake Return Springs. Hydraulic pressure from the Master Cylinder causes the Wheel Cylinder to press the Brake Shoes against the Brake Drum. This creates friction between the shoes and drum to slow or stop your car.

Anti-Lock Brakes – A System Built For Safety:
Computer-controlled anti-lock braking systems (ABS) are a recently developed safety feature. When sudden stops are made, the ABS prevents wheel lock-up. The system is comprised of wheel-speed sensors that monitor wheel rotation, computer-controlled hydraulics that pulse the brakes on and off rapidly, and the on-board computer.
