Brake Pads and Repair
It’s important to let us inspect your brakes annually so that we catch problems before you even notice them. It’s equally important that you bring in your vehicle for brake repair at Bay Area Tire & Service Centers at the first sign of a problem. We’ll check your automobile to determine the specific issue, but we’ll share some information here about the most common brake repair–brake pad replacement. Brake pads are typically made of metal, so they’re durable. The pads contact the rotor (disc) each time you engage the braking system. The resulting friction is what slows and stops your car. Over time, this wears the pads down. Even though they last a long time, they’ll eventually need replacing once they reach the minimum safe thickness. Our team is happy to help you monitor yours and make the swap for you. If you’re a performance enthusiast, another option is ceramic pads. They cost more, but they’re almost indestructible, standing up to the high heat of braking demands.
