Brake Repair

Car brakes are essential to your vehicle's safety, performance, and handling and ensure that when you get to your destination, you can safely come to a stop. Car brakes require regular maintenance, and replacement parts available at Radial Tire Company in Silver Spring, MD.

How Do Car Brakes Work?

The pressure from your foot on the brake pedal is transferred to the brakes via the brake lines. This system uses brake fluid to apply pressure onto your brake calipers, applying friction to the rotor with brake pads. The slowing and then stopping of the car occurs when the calipers clamp down on the brakes.

Why is Brake Maintenance Important?

Since your brakes go through a lot of wear in slowing down your wheels, they require routine maintenance. The most common services that your braking system will need are brake pad replacements and brake fluid flushes. Staying up to date with your maintenance schedule will keep your car brakes working how they should.
