BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICES

The brake fluid in your vehicle’s braking system transfers the force of your foot on the brake pedal to the calipers, causing them to squeeze together. As they do this, they also amplify the force. As a hygroscopic fluid, brake fluid attracts moisture to itself. As more moisture accumulates, the brake fluid will become less effective. To avoid putting yourself and your family in danger, have your brake fluid exchanged at the required intervals.

Regular brake inspection is one of the best ways to learn about how your brake system is doing. Our technicians will check the thickness and condition of the brake pads and rotors and check other components like the brake lines, the calipers, and the master cylinder.

The brake pads are vital for slowing your vehicle down or bringing it to a stop. Over time, however, the brake lining on the brake pads will wear down. Before this happens, you will need to have the brake pads replaced. We will be glad to perform this service at Brent Brown Toyota.

Brake rotors wear down much slower than brake pads, but they will still become too thin and need to be replaced eventually. Before this happens, they may become warped or glazed. If they still have sufficient thickness, we can often resurface them instead of replacing them.
