The Importance of Front Brake Pads

We often say that cars keep us going, but they also stop us from going too far! Whether it’s on the highway at high speeds or going through a neighborhood with children playing, we need to know we can stop when necessary. Brake pads are what allow us to make those stops, and thus they keep you, your car, and others safe! You should check your brakes frequently to make sure you’re keeping your vehicle braking properly.

The Basics of Brake Pad Replacement

Brake pads are what keeps your car’s metallic parts from grinding and wearing each other out when you brake. They add efficiency and urgency to the braking process, making sure your stops are completely under your control. Since they take the brunt of braking's friction force, they need to be changed regularly to be effective and safe. Our certified technicians know how to identify worn pads, safely remove them, and replace them with the right pads for your vehicle.
