It’s crucial that your car, truck, jeep, or van has a properly functioning braking system that works flawlessly. If your vehicle’s brakes are not performing as they should, don’t delay in getting them inspected and repaired. Contact Peters Motors today to schedule an appointment.

Modern vehicles typically rely on disc brakes, which use friction to slow down or stop a moving car. This friction is provided by brake pads, which are pressed against a spinning disc to reduce wheel rotation. The calipers, which house the brake pads, grab the disc as it spins, applying force to bring the vehicle to a stop.

Although some brake sounds are normal, unusual noises such as chirps, continuous squeals, or grinding should not be ignored. These sounds often indicate that the brake pads are worn and need to be replaced.

If you notice any irregularities with your brakes, it's crucial to have them inspected by a brake systems specialist. Regular maintenance and attention to your vehicle’s brake system can help you avoid costly repairs and prevent unexpected brake failure. For more information on maintaining your car’s braking system, be sure to consult your vehicle's owner's manual.
