Orem Brakes

Regular checks on your brakes, either by you or a car repair expert, is vital to keep your car safe. Here are three methods to ensure your brakes are always in top condition:

Look

Glance through the area between your wheel spokes. You should see your brake pad sitting next to the metal rotor. The brake pad should be no less than ¼ inch thick. If it’s thinner than that, don’t wait! Get those brake pads changed.

Listen

Pay attention to your brakes’ noises when you’re on the road. High-pitched screeching, grinding, or growling sounds are all signs of brakes that aren’t doing so well. The screeching noise is from a tiny metal piece called an indicator. It’s designed to make a sound to let you know it’s time to get new brakes. The grinding and growling sounds mean your brakes are all worn out, and the parts of your brakes are scraping against each other. This could seriously hurt your car, so it’s crucial to get it checked by a car repair expert right away.

Feel

Notice how your car behaves when you step on the brake. If the brake pedal goes all the way down, it’s likely you’ve got a leak, either air or fluid. If your car veers to one side, it could mean your brake linings are not wearing evenly, or something foreign is in your brake fluid. Feeling your brake pedal shake similar to what happens when your anti-lock brakes kick in? This could indicate you have bent rotors.

Brake System

Your car’s ability to stop relies on a detailed hydraulic system that springs into action when you step on the brake pedal. How? By using a clever mix of leverage, hydraulic power, and friction to halt your vehicle.

Brake Fluid

This fluid spreads throughout the entire brake system, triggering a piston that propels the brake pad to hit the brake disc situated on the tire. The resulting friction stops your wheels in their tracks.

Brake Pads & Rotors

These essential components come together to halt your wheels while you’re on the move.

Master Cylinder

This key part of your brake system is engineered to match your car’s lifespan, but unforeseen damage or hiccups can lead to a necessary replacement.

Brake Pad Replacement

Brake pads, or brake shoes for cars that are a bit older, tend to get used up. This can make your car slow down less effectively. Don’t worry, we’re here to quickly swap out the worn ones.

Rotor Repair & Replacement

When you push down on your brake pedal, it’s the rotor that the pad pushes against. These can wear out too, but we’re sometimes able to resurface your current rotor so it works like it’s fresh out of the box.

From time to time, leaks or other issues can mess with the brake fluid in your vehicle. We’re here to stop any leaks in their tracks and to keep your fluid at the right level.
