Brake system repair

Brake system repair

Efficient braking systems are an essential element of the safety system of any car, regardless of its type and purpose. The life of the driver, his passengers and other road users can largely depend on how well each element of the braking system works.

For this reason, it is desirable to know its structure and regularly check its technical condition. The specialists of our service will help you with this, who are ready to offer the demanded service “diagnostics of the brake system” with the replacement of worn elements.

The importance of timely diagnosis and repair

Malfunctions that are not fixed in time affect the increase in braking distance or loss of control over the car. Repair of the brake system should not be postponed, because often an increase in the braking distance even by one meter can lead to an accident and the death of participants in an accident.

If you feel that the brake system has begun to work worse, if there is an extraneous sound when you press the brake pedal, if there is a “beating” of the steering wheel when braking, you need to urgently check the condition of the brakes.

Our service center provides popular services for the repair and maintenance of the brake system, which include:

• repair of brake calipers;
• checking and replacing brake pads and discs;
• repair of brake drums;
• diagnostics of brake hoses;
• checking brake cylinders;
• brake fluid replacement and bleeding;
• replacement of the handbrake cable and so on.

Remember that your car actually has two independently operating braking systems: the main and the auxiliary. The first is the basic system, which is literally “underfoot” in the form of a brake pedal. We use it more and more often.

On the other hand, an auxiliary brake, also known as an auxiliary, hand or parking brake, is most often used to keep the car safe in a parking lot. Each of them consists of elements whose task is to stop or reduce the speed of the vehicle.

The main elements of the brake system and possible problems in their work

The main components of the brake system to be repaired or replaced are: brake pump, brake fluid supply lines, pads, brake discs, calipers and cylinders. Also not to mention is the brake pedal, which sits next to our right foot and makes the whole system work when pressed.

The most common brake problems are worn brake pads and discs. Discs are changed when the minimum thickness recommended by the manufacturer is reached. A special sensor signals the wear of the pads in modern cars. Brake fluid leaks can also occur as a result of damaged lines or brake cylinders.

Regular diagnostics of the brake system is an extremely important issue that must be approached with the maximum degree of responsibility. Brake repair is not the most difficult and costly in terms of finances, but in a certain situation it can one day save the life of the car owner, his passengers and pedestrians.
