Why Your Brakes Need Repair or Replacing

There's no simple answer to why your brakes may be acting up, and many symptoms could point to a variety of problems. That's why our technicians make it a point to perform a thorough inspection of your vehicle. However, some common causes of brake trouble are worn brake pads, warped rotors, and fluid leaks.

When braking, fluid is pushed through brake hoses, which causes the brake pad to press against the rotor, slowing the spin of the wheels. If there's a leak in the hose, pressure could be lost, resulting in decreased braking power. Warped rotors, on the other hand, create a non-flat surface for the brake pad to push against, causing strong vibrations and uneven wear. When brake pads are worn down completely, it can cause damage to other parts of the vehicle in addition to cause trouble stopping.
