How Do Brakes Work?
Your vehicle’s braking system is one of its most critical safety components, made up of multiple interconnected parts working together to keep you safe on the road. When you press the brake pedal, the master cylinder sends hydraulic pressure through brake lines to each wheel. There, brake pads or shoes press against a rotor or drum, creating the friction needed to slow and stop your vehicle. Over time, these components naturally wear down. If left unaddressed, worn brakes can compromise your vehicle’s stopping power and put you at risk. At Parkor Auto Care Tire Pros, we offer professional brake inspections, repairs, and replacements to ensure your vehicle performs safely and reliably. Schedule your brake service today and drive with confidence.
What Are the Signs My Brakes Need to Be Replaced?
Pads/shoes and rotors/drums often need to be replaced every 25,000 to 65,000 miles; however, there are numerous factors that can lead to more rapid wear and tear on your vehicle’s brakes. Driving conditions, vehicle driven, and heavy vehicle load might increase the frequency of brake replacements. If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to replace your brakes:
The high-pitched squeal when applying the brakes is a safety feature to alert drivers that it's time for a replacement. However, your pads are completely worn if your vehicle makes a grinding noise.
When you apply the brake, it should bring your vehicle to an even stop. Excessive vibrations when you press the brake pedal could be a sign of warped rotors.
If you need to press down hard on the pedal or require a longer distance to come to a complete stop, worn pads or low brake fluid may be the issue.
If your car pulls to one side when braking, it could mean uneven brake pad wear or issues with your brake calipers.
