Brake system one of the most important safety systems in your vehicle. When you apply pressure to the brake pedal, the master cylinder forces brake fluid via the brake lines into the wheel cylinders or calliper pistons. This activates the brake shoes or pads, which rub against the rotor or drum, and this slows your car down. You should check and service your brake system every six months to keep it in working order.

One thing you can do as a vehicle owner is better to understand the different moving parts that make up your brake system. When you press your brake pedal the brake pads create friction; in turn, the brake rotor disperses heat throughout the vehicle to keep the brakes themselves from overheating. Both are essential to the proper functioning of your braking system.

There are several braking issues that can indicate your vehicle needs brake repair work.
Get a brake service inspection if:

• The brake pedal seems to be spongy or presses farther to the floor than usual
• Your vehicle pulls to the right or left when you brake
• Unusual noises or vibrations occur during braking
