Cars

Brake maintenance is one of the most important aspects of car maintenance. Without functioning brakes, a vehicle is not only dangerous but also illegal. Brakes are what allow drivers to safely control the speed and direction of their cars. A poorly maintained braking system can lead to a range of problems, including increased stopping distances, decreased braking power, and even complete brake failure.

One of the most critical components of the brake system is the brake pads. Brake pads are what generate the friction needed to slow and stop the car. Over time, the pads wear down, reducing their effectiveness. The pads should be checked regularly for wear and replaced if necessary. The brake discs are another critical component that should be checked and replaced if necessary. The discs are what the brake pads clamp onto to generate friction. Warped or damaged discs can negatively impact the braking performance of a car.
