Know Your Brakes 

Your automobile’s brakes are great because they allow you to stop something heavy with minimal pressure on the brake pedal. Although they work well for a long time, every vehicle eventually needs brake repair. Let Garland Transmissions be your partner in brake repair to ensure your ability to make safe stops. When you press the brake pedal, a level and piston force brake fluid through brake lines from the master cylinder reservoir to the smaller cylinder at each wheel. From there, the hydraulic force moves the brake caliper. It holds a brake pad that contacts the rotor/disc. The friction between these stops your moving car. The most common repair is brake pad replacement. This is a planned exchange that every automobile owner will need at some point. Most brake pads are made of a metal composite. Even though this material is durable, the pads eventually wear thin. We’ll need to install new ones once they measure less than the minimum safe thickness. Usually, you’ll begin to hear squealing when you brake as replacement time approaches. However, we can also watch the pads for you when you bring your vehicle for inspection or service. Another indicator that your car needs work is vibration during braking. Often, this points to a warped rotor. A spongy or soft brake pedal may indicate a leak resulting from a cracked master cylinder, a ruptured brake hose, or other problems. See us for help if your auto pulls to one side during braking. Something may be broken that causes the brake strength on one side to be stronger than the other. A burning odor may call attention to a stuck brake caliper or tell of a forgotten emergency brake left engaged. Beware of any increase in stopping distances and schedule a brake check visit.
