BRAKE REPAIR

Upon your arrival at Safety Brake & Clutch, your brake discs and pads are inspected to determine the extent of any wear and tear, and whether brake repair or replacement is required. The brake discs are checked for their smooth, even surface. The brake pads have to have a specific amount of space between them and the disc – this spacing increases over time as the pads become worn.

If you know you know your way around the mechanics of a car, you’ll know that older model cars’ back wheels use a different system for stopping your car. This is called the drum brake system and it works on the premise of using friction to stop your car as well, but just using different components: a drum (instead of a disc) and a component called a shoe (instead of a pad). When you step on your brake pedal, the shoe expands outwards to stop the drum from rotating (whereas the pad presses inwards against the brake disc).

But even if your car has the newer system of brake discs and pads for both the front and back wheels, you will still be catered for.

There are a number of indicators that tell you about the state of your brakes and clutch, when you know what to look out for, it makes it easier to fix sooner.
