Brake Pads: What They Are and How To Maintain Them

Brake pads are small, semi-metallic, or ceramic brake components that play a large role in the braking process. As you step on your brake pedal, a hydraulic action forces your brake calipers to clamp down onto your brake rotors to create friction. This friction ultimately makes your wheels stop spinning, bringing your vehicle to a stop, but it also causes wear to your brake pads. Periodic brake pad replacement is vital for proper braking performance. Once your brake pads wear to about 3 millimeters or less in width, we recommend visiting us for a brake pad replacement service.
