Preserving your car’s brakes is among the most vital safety measures you can take. Brakes should be examined at least once a year.
There are two types of braking systems on many automobiles: standard brakes and ABS. A typical braking system is made up of the rotor, the caliper, and brake pads or shoes. If your brake pads wear and are not switched out, you could require replacement of the rotors, too.
What to Look For
- A high pitched squeak when you push the brakes
- A scratching or grinding noise even when not braking
- Shaking or vibration in the course of stopping
- Requiring more pressure when stopping
