Brake pads are a key part of your vehicle’s brake system; they sit between your brake shoe and your brake drum. Without functioning brake pads, other elements of your vehicle, such as the discs, rotors, and calipers will begin to wear away. Maintaining effective brake pads is important to avoiding very pricey repairs as well as unsafe driving conditions. That’s why it’s important to be able to identify when to replace your vehicle’s brake pads.

Brakes work by using friction between brake pads and rotors to stop the wheels from rotating. If the rotors are not smooth and within the required specifications, braking quality can be significantly degraded. To solve this problem, the rotor is replaced with a new part.

Your wheels and suspension system are what keep your car stable while you’re steering. If your ride is noticeably bumpier or rougher than it used to be, your vehicle pulls to one side during turns, or if the front or back of the car lurches forward when stopping, these are all signs you may need a wheel alignment and/or your suspension system isn’t working properly and needs service. It is best to get any issues with your wheel alignment, suspension, shocks, and struts dealt with quickly as a failure of any of the components can be a major safety risk.
