Mobile brake repairs

If there are two main mechanisms that make vehicles useful, it’s their ability to move and stop! Brakes do most of the work with the latter, allowing cars and vans to safely come to a halt without the help of a physical obstruction. This is the principle safety feature of your vehicle, so you need to take its condition and state very seriously. It should also be noted that when brakes are neglected, it puts a bigger strain on the rest of your vehicle’s components, and increases the chance of more general deterioration substantially.

Brake issue origins

Functioning brakes reduce vehicle speed through friction – in rear brakes it’s through brake drums and shoes, in front brakes it’s through brake callipers and pads. There are numerous possibilities for the cause of your brake problems, but some of the potential reasons are as follows; grease or oil contamination, ‘hot spots’ on the component due to overheating, or brake pads that have worn thin. These all reduce the friction made possible, and the likelihood of your brakes stopping your vehicle when you need them to. Needless to say, the safety risks associated with this kind of failure are not to be taken lightly.

Time to Check Your Brakes

By undertaking a proactive approach to brake maintenance, you’re ensuring that won’t need the services of a 24 hour mechanic in an emergency, where things have gone seriously wrong! It’s good etiquette to seek brake evaluations after 50,000 miles on the vehicle, and obviously when you see the brake warning light, but there are other situations which require attention too. If you’re feeling lots of vibrations while braking, that could be a sign of some decay, and the same is true of unusual sounds when you hit the brakes. Both are likely to indicate wear and tear, and could be a precursor to more severe problems.
Good Brake Practices
The best way to manage your brakes is through simple guidelines which limit their deterioration. Giving yourself more time to brake, so that you won’t have to brake sharply, is a good start. But you should also try to be aware of being in the right gear for the right circumstances, which will stop undue pressure from being applied to the brakes. If you follow these principles, you’ll save your pads, rotors and callipers from unnecessary strain going forward.
