What Is Included in Brake Service?
Brake service can include a few different things, such as a simple replacement of the brake pads or a
more involved installation of new brake rotors. Your vehicle might also need a brake fluid change or
flush. Because so many components make up a vehicle's braking system, and the whole system is vital to
safe driving, it's recommended that you stay consistent with brake care.
Brake pads, for example, are the meaty parts that rub against the rotors to stop the vehicle. A fraction
of the specialized friction material wears away every time you press the brake pedal, so eventually your
pads will be compromised, which can lead to unreliable stopping power and the increased chances of an
accident.
Brake rotors are the wheel-mounted discs the pads press against to stop. These components are more
expensive but last longer than pads. When you come into our dealership near Bay Shore, we'll inspect the
whole assembly to see where any issues may arise or determine the scope of brake care.
