Brake System & Maintenance
Stopping a vehicle requires a hydraulic braking system that creates resistance at the wheels. This is ultimately a safety system that needs to be at its best, but unfortunately, is susceptible to wear and tear that threatens optimal performance. Brake system maintenance keeps the essential components at their best to support powerful braking at factory specifications when you need it most.
- Brake Fluid Exchange - Brake fluid transfers and amplifies the force of your foot on the brakes to the calipers; as a hygroscopic fluid, it will absorb moisture and eventually need to be replaced as it becomes less effective.
- Brake Pad Replacement - The brake pads(front and rear) consist of a metal backing and a softer brake lining that is designed to wear down; when this lining gets thin, it's time to have your brake pads replaced.
- Rotor Resurfacing - The brake rotors may become glazed or warped well before they wear out; we can resurface the rotors, smoothing their surface to help you avoid paying for entirely new parts before it's necessary.
- Caliper Service - The brake calipers squeeze together to push the brake pads against the brake rotors, and they will regularly need to be cleaned, lubricated, and inspected to ensure that they are providing the necessary precision.
