Proper brake function is a must for all vehicles, especially during the wet winter months, when slippery roads aid in decreased braking ability. Our experienced brake technicians take all precautions to ensure your brake system and braking components operate at optimal performance.
Modern vehicles are fitted with a combination of disc and pad (front) and drum and shoe (rear). When you tramp on your brake pedal in an emergency you are actually triggering a series of actions. The force passes through your hydraulic system to the brake calipers, which trigger the mechanical braking. The mechanical braking action occurs when the brake shoes clamp against the disc, or the brake shoes press against the drum.
Did you know?
Brake fluid is a key component of your brake system. It transfers the force from your foot on the pedal to the brakes in order to stop your vehicle. It also keeps the internal components of your brake system lubricated and protected from corrosion.
FREE Brakes Inspection
It is a good idea to have your brakes checked at least once a year and more often if brake issues arise or persist. At Rosebery Steering Services we offer a free inspection of your front and rear brakes. Our expert technicians will first carry out a thorough inspection of your vehicle’s entire brake system, including lining condition, rotors and drums, calipers and wheel cylinders, brake hardware, hoses, lines, and master cylinder. The need for replacing any of the brake components will depend upon the factors like age, mileage and degree of wear and tear.
