Brake Parts

As you encounter a red light on your way to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and press down on the brake pedal, a series of mechanics activate to bring you to a halt. First, the pressure of your foot is transferred to the calipers using a specialized brake fluid. Then, the brake pads are squeezed against the rotors to create friction, which reduces the speed of your car. Since a great amount of heat would be created during this process, the pads are made of a softer material like ceramic or metallic compounds. This causes them to be the first parts to wear out, so be sure you have us check them each time you visit us for service!

Warning Signs

Modern vehicles have a dashboard warning light that will become illuminated if there is a glaring issue with your brakes, but it is also important to know about other warning signs. For example, if you hear a loud screeching or scraping sound as you slow down, it is likely that the brake pads have worn down completely. Also, a burning smell can often be detected if you’ve dealt damage to the system during an emergency stop. This isn’t always detrimental to the system, but it means you should get a professional opinion before your next trip to Lindberg Park. Most brake pads last about 30,000 miles before needing to be swapped out. Always contact us and check your Owner’s Manual for model-specific information about your car’s service timeline.
