The Basics of Brake Repair Services

While brake pads are the first part that comes to mind for most when we think of our car’s braking system, brake repair services encompass much more critical components that drive your car’s brakes. Read on to learn more about Milstead’s brake repair services and how to tell when certain parts of your braking system should be inspected or replaced.

Brake Pads

Brake pads are the most commonly and easily replaced part in the braking system of a vehicle. Brake pads are designed to be replaced after a certain number of miles driven, depending on the vehicle. A high-pitched squealing sound is usually a sign that brake pads should be replaced. 

Brake Rotors

A bit more complex, rotors are circular metal disks that spin along with your vehicle’s wheels. A crucial component of a braking system, a metal grinding sound or the steering wheel shaking is a major sign that your rotors should be replaced. 

Brake Calipers

Housing the brake pads, a caliper is a critical component of the brake system of a vehicle. All of these parts work together to ensure that your car has a healthy and safe braking system, allowing you to stop at will. There are a few different signs of a bad brake caliper, including uneven brake pad wear, meaning that you have to replace one more often than the other, your car pulling in either direction when braking, or fluid on the ground near your tires.
