Brake Service
The brake system is among the most important features in your motor vehicle. Eliminate the uncertainty that your brakes are going to fail.
How the brakes work
- The brake system converts kinetic energy (kinetic energy) into thermal energy (thermal energy).
- The system consists of several components, such as brakes, brake pads, rotors, drums, calipers, brake lines and brake fluid.
- The brakes are activated when the driver presses the brake pedal, which sends a signal to the calipers.
- The calipers then press the brake pads against the rotors, creating friction and thus generating thermal energy.
- This thermal energy is dissipated by the brakes, causing wear and tear on the brake pads and rotors.
- Brake fluid flows through the brake lines and is used to apply pressure to the brakes when the driver presses the brake pedal.
- In this way, the brakes can be activated to stop the vehicle safely.
What to expect during brake service
During regular maintenance, the correct level and moisture content of the brake fluid will be checked. Brake fluid must be changed every few years to ensure that braking performance is not affected by boiling with brake fluid saturated with water.
The calipers press the brake pads against the brake disc, creating friction between the pad and the rotor, which slows down the vehicle. Maintaining the caliper, caliper bolts and sliders not only ensures that the vehicle’s braking system works optimally, but also extends the life of the brake pads and rotors. All metals used in brake systems are exposed to the risk of rust and corrosion. Regular maintenance keeps them clean and working the way they were designed, which extends the life of the brake pads and ensures braking safety.
Brake discs live in a fairly hostile environment. The brake pad compresses the rotor, creating friction that slows down the vehicle and eventually stops it. High temperatures, poor cooling and abrasive brake pads can shorten the life of the brake disc. Make sure you get the most out of the life and performance of your vehicle’s braking system, and have it checked and maintained regularly.
