Automotive Tips from Gordie's Garage Inc: Brake Noise

Your brake pads are the important parts that rub against the rotor (or disc) to slow and stop your car when driving in ROSEVILLE. They eventually wear down.When your pads are worn too much, they won’t stop your vehicle as well. When the friction material is worn away, metal parts of the pad are exposed and you’ll hear a squeal or grinding sound. That’s when ROSEVILLE drivers should replace their brake pads at Gordie's Garage Inc. Not only will new pads restore your stopping power, but replacing them on time will prevent damage to the rotor.If your brakes are making noise, ask your Gordie's Garage Inc service advisor to inspect your brakes. Addressing problems early will restore your safety and prevent expensive brake damage.Gordie's Garage Inc29046 CALAHAN RDROSEVILLE, MI 4806658

Hitting The Brakes In ROSEVILLE

Automotive Tips from Gordie's Garage Inc: Rotor Problems

The brake rotor, or disc, is attached to your wheel. The brake pads rub on the rotor to slow your car when you are driving in ROSEVILLE.Rotors can warp, crack or become misaligned. They can also be damaged by worn out brake pads that scratch grooves into the surface. These conditions result in less contact surface for the brake pads, leaving you with reduced braking power.Over time and miles, rotors can also wear down below safe specifications. It is important for ROSEVILLE drivers to know that simply replacing brake pads on a wheel with a bad rotor will not solve the problem. Depending on their condition, rotors may be resurfaced or replaced.Brake noise or a pulsation in the brake pedal are signs of potential brake problems that should be addressed right away.
