Car Brakes

Car brakes work by leveraging three main principles of physics: leverage, hydraulics, and friction.

Inspect and replace rotors

When changing your brake pads, be sure to inspect and replace your rotors and hardware if necessary to ensure optimal braking performance.

Wear indicator light

If your brakes squeal until you press the pedal down, it may be your wear indicator telling you to change your pads.

COMPLETE THE BRAKE JOB

Replace brake pads and rotors together for longer life and more stopping power.

Longer Life
Older rotors can seriously damage new pads, causing premature noise, vibration and wear.

Stopping Power
Replacing brake pads and rotors at the same time is critical for peak braking performance and safety.
