Brake pads are metal plates curved in the shape of a horseshoe. They fit into calipers on your car's wheels, pressing upon rotors or metal discs attached to your car's axles. When you press the brake pedal, brake fluid is forced through two pistons within the caliper, causing the brake pad to move inward and clamp down onto the disk. This generates friction which causes your car to slow down and eventually stop.
Maintain your car's brakes regularly at our service center in Knoxville, TN, and ensure you have quality pads installed for safety reasons. Without quality brake pads, stopping or slowing down quickly when needed can be difficult, increasing the chances of an accident. Poorly functioning brakes can cause drivers to panic and lose vehicle control. Quality brake pads are designed to provide reliable and consistent stopping power, helping to keep you safe in a wide range of driving conditions. Replacing your brake pads is an important part of car maintenance that should not be overlooked.
