Routine Brake Services Available
The brake system inside your vehicle slows or stops movement each time you press down on the pedal. What makes this component of your car, truck, or SUV crucial to safe and effective driving is that without a functioning brake system. If it’s not working properly, accidents are imminent. When you step into your vehicle, you will be met with a gas pedal and one next to it, the brake pedal. This connects to the much larger brake system, which works by pressurized hydraulic fluid squeezing the brake pad friction material against the surface of the vehicle’s rotating brake disc. What happens with this contact is that your car begins to slow, eventually to a stop, if you keep your foot on the brake pedal. Another way to explain this is that the brake pedal uses a hydraulic system, causing friction to slow or halt the vehicle. That is why when you put your foot down on the pedal inside your car, it almost feels like it’s pushing back. A properly working brake is important, and if you notice anything different when applying it, give your neighborhood auto repair shop, Spring Creek’s Automotive, a call at (281) 964-9624 or use our convenient online scheduling tool to set up an appointment with a skilled ASE-certified technician as soon as possible.
