All the components of your vehicle play a vital role. Among all these parts, the brakes have the most essential job of keeping your vehicle safe. Brakes are some of the most critical components of the safety and handling of your vehicle. The braking system includes a master cylinder, brake calipers, brake fluid, cylinders, disks, drums, pads, and shoes. All these components work together to accelerate, slow down, and stop your vehicle. An effective braking system works to help you stop and maneuver your car in a controlled manner. Preserving your vehicle's brakes is among the most crucial measures you could take for the safety of your vehicle. 

Benefits of Brake Service and Maintenance

Keeping your car brakes in good condition and regularly having brake service and maintenance is important to ensure your safety, as well as that of your passengers. Your brakes and your tires work together to stop your vehicle, so if one is in bad shape, it negatively affects the other. To maintain your braking system, there are two important things every car owner should do: check your brake fluid regularly and have the brake pads and brake discs inspected when necessary. Brake fluid works as a lubricant for the movable parts in your brakes and defends them against corrosions. The brake fluid should be at an adequate level in order to do its job. 

When Do I Need Brake Repair Service?

The average brake pads will last for around 30,000- 50,000 miles, and rotors need to be replaced at 50,000 to 75,000 miles. Ignoring brake issues will cause continued deterioration and lead to more damage and costly repairs down the line. Some of the most common signs of brake repair include:

• There's a high-pitched squeaking sound when you apply the brakes

• A scratching or grinding noise is audible even when no brakes are being applied

• Your vehicle shakes or vibrates while bringing your car to a stop

• Increased pressure is required to stop than normal
