Failing Brake Rotors? You Need Brake Repair!

Without much thought from the driver, the braking process is repeated hundreds of times throughout the life of a vehicle. That is until a problem appears, like drifting through stop signs! As you step on the brake pedal, your vehicle's forward motion and the energy that it builds is converted into friction and heat. When you step on the brake pedal you should slow down and then come to a complete stop exactly where you want to be. Regular brake service will ensure your braking system is functioning correctly.
Unfortunately, the friction and heat created by the pads clamping down on the rotors begin to wear down the metal surface of the rotors. When you start to notice more than the usual vibration when braking, schedule a brake repair as soon possible! If brake repair is neglected too long, you will be headed for a costly brake replacement.
Rotors that are too thin and too hot will keep your vehicle from stopping promptly.
• Too thin? New rotors are smooth and flat and cause little or no vibration during the braking process. They spin at a high revolution as the brake pads make contact. As the rotors get thinner, they lose their ability to channel heat away from the braking process and become too hot.
• Too hot? Several types of problems will start to appear—the rotors will warp, the brake fluid can boil, brake pads that are too hot will produce gases that cause brake fade, and the pads will warp and can become scored with deep scars.
Some vehicle owners are tempted to put off paying for brake repair. Don't wait for an accident because of failing brakes!
