Imagine driving along and suddenly pushing down on the brake pedal and “yikes!” … you don’t stop! That is something I hope you never experience. Another very scary experience is this; you do stop but not until you slammed the pedal to the floor. This indicates a brake line leak and you need to have this…
Noises – A scraping sound means metal is rubbing metal and that tells you that your brake pads are worn out and need to be replaced. A squealing noise doesn’t always indicate a problem depending on the materials used in the pads but shouldn’t be ignored as it could also mean the pads are worn…
Does it feel like you just can’t catch a break sometimes? Your brakes might just feel the same way! They work hard for you. Your car is a heavy hunk of metal and when it is rolling down the road it takes a lot of friction to slow down all that momentum, especially when you…
Your brake pads are the critical parts that rub against the rotor (or disc) to slow and stop your vehicle. They eventually wear down. When your pads are worn too much, they won’t stop your vehicle as well. When the friction material is worn away, metal parts of the pad are exposed and you’ll hear…
The brake rotor, or disc, is attached to your wheel. The brake pads rub on the rotor to slow your auto. Rotors can warp, crack or become misaligned. They can also be damaged by worn out brake pads that scratch grooves into the surface. These conditions result in less contact surface for the brake pads,…

Hello Glendora, let’s talk about brakes. Braking, as all California drivers know, is slowing or stopping your vehicle. As you can imagine, brakes are engineered to work well on a particular vehicle application. For example, you would expect more powerful brakes on a heavy-duty pickup that routinely hauls big loads and pulls trailers, than you…
