The Importance of Brake Maintenance

posted on 4/2/2020 12:59:43 PM
The braking system of your vehicle is by far the most important attribute that it has. Your brakes allow you to slow down or stop at a moment’s notice to avoid an incident or accident. If your brakes are faulty, they will not be able to do the job they are designed to do and will not be as effective when needed, especially in a panic stop situation. Your brakes should be inspected by a professional with each oil change or at minimum every 6 months or about every 6,000 miles. An inspection will be done to different components of your braking system. Brake Repair in Stafford, VA
 
The braking system is made up of a number of parts which include brakes pad, rotor, caliper, brake disc, and cylinder. The most important of those brake parts is your vehicle’s brake pads. The brakes pad contacts and applies pressure and friction to a vehicle’s brake rotors. The pressure and friction applied to the brake rotor decreases the rotating speed and stops the wheel.
 

Ways to Keep Your Brakes Functioning Well

Maintenance: Take your vehicle for regular brake service and repairs if necessary. Regular inspection can help identify wear and damage early and get them repaired before they become more extensive and costly. Brake pads tend to wear out at about 25,000 miles on most vehicles, and brake fluid needs to be replaced at around the same interval. 
 
Heavy Use: How you use your car’s brakes makes a difference in how efficiently your car operates. If you press on your brakes with a heavy foot—meaning that you’re pressing down quickly and hard, you decrease fuel efficiency while overusing the brakes. This leads to pads and rotors wearing out quickly if you use repeated heavy braking. 
 
First Signs: Responding at the first sign that your brakes may need repair is the best course of action. These signs include: 
  • A high-pitched squeak when you push the brakes
  • A scraping or grinding sound when not braking, this also can be a sign of a brake or bearing problem and must be checked immediately
  • Shaking or vibration during braking
  • Using more pressure than normal when trying to stop
