Your vehicle’s brake system is important for your safety, providing the stopping power you need to protect yourself and others on the road. Whether you’re dealing with squeaky brakes, a brake fluid leak or a shaky braking experience, it’s important to address these issues right away. At Stellar Autoworks, we specialize in brake system maintenance, repair and replacement.

Common Brake System Issues

If you’re experiencing any of the following problems, it’s time to give us a call:

• Squealing or Grinding Noises
  Squeaky brakes are often a sign that your brake pads are worn and need replacement. Grinding noises usually indicate that the pads are completely worn down, potentially damaging the rotors.

• Brake Fluid Leak
  A brake fluid leak can severely affect brake performance. Look for puddles of fluid under your car, especially near the wheels.

• Car Brake Shake
  If your car shakes or vibrates when you press the brake pedal, it may be due to warped rotors or uneven brake pad wear.

• Spongy or Soft Brake Pedal
  A soft brake pedal often indicates air in the brake lines or low brake fluid levels, both of which require immediate attention.

• Warning Light
  A brake warning light on your dashboard can signal a range of issues, from low brake fluid to worn-out pads or a malfunctioning ABS system.

Preventative Brake Maintenance Tips

Maintaining your brakes can save you money down the line and keep you safe on the road. Here are a few tips to ensure your brakes remain in top condition:

• Have brake pads inspected every 10,000 miles or as part of routine maintenance. Replace brake pads before they wear down completely to avoid rotor damage.
• Regularly check your brake fluid level and top it off if necessary. Replace the fluid every 2-3 years to prevent contamination.
• Get your brakes inspected annually by a brake repair shop to catch any issues before they become big problems. 

Understanding Your Vehicle’s Brake System

Your brake system is designed to slow down and stop your vehicle safely and efficiently. It relies on a combination of hydraulic pressure, friction, and precision engineering to function correctly. Modern brake systems consist of several key components:

Key Components of the Brake System

• Brake Pads and Rotors
  Brake pads press against the rotors (discs) to create the friction necessary to slow or stop the car. Over time, these components wear down and require brake replacement.

• Brake Calipers
  Calipers house the brake pads and use hydraulic pressure to press them against the rotors when you press the brake pedal.

• Brake Fluid
  Brake fluid transfers the hydraulic pressure from the pedal to the calipers. A brake fluid leak can compromise the entire system, leading to reduced braking power.

• Brake Lines and Hoses
  These transport brake fluid throughout the system. Damaged or corroded lines can result in leaks or braking failure.

• Master Cylinder
  The master cylinder generates hydraulic pressure and distributes brake fluid to the wheels. A failing master cylinder can lead to inconsistent braking performance.
