Understanding
Your Vehicle’s
Braking System
Brake Pads
These create the necessary friction to stop your vehicle. Over time, they wear out and need replacement. Ignoring worn pads can lead to more extensive damage and costly repairs. Quality brake pads are critical for maintaining effective stopping power and reducing wear on other components, such as rotors.
Brake Rotors
These metal discs work with the brake pads to slow down your car. Worn or warped rotors can reduce braking efficiency and lead to vibrations while braking. Regular inspections and timely resurfacing or replacement of rotors ensure smooth and safe braking performance.
Brake Calipers
These hold the brake pads and use hydraulic pressure to press them against the rotors, creating the stopping force. Faulty calipers can result in uneven braking, increased wear on brake pads, and even damage to the rotors if left unchecked.
Brake Fluid
This hydraulic fluid is essential for transmitting the force from your brake pedal to the braking system. Old or contaminated brake fluid can lead to brake failure, reduced stopping power, and corrosion within the braking system.
Ignoring signs of brake wear, like screeching noises, vibrations, or reduced braking efficiency, can compromise your safety and lead to costly repairs. If these issues sound familiar, it’s time to schedule a comprehensive brake inspection at Maven Mechanics.

Signs You Need
Brake Repair Services
Screeching or Grinding Noises
Often caused by worn brake pads or damaged rotors. Screeching indicates that the pads are nearing the end of their life, while grinding suggests significant wear requiring immediate attention.
Reduced Braking Efficiency
A longer stopping distance could indicate worn-out components, low brake fluid, or air in the brake lines.
Vibrations While Braking
A longer stopping distance could indicate worn-out components, low brake fluid, or air in the brake lines.
Vibrations While Braking
Warped rotors or uneven brake pads can cause this. Vibrations are a clear sign that your braking system needs professional inspection and repair.
Spongy Brake Pedal
Often a sign of air in the brake lines or old brake fluid. A soft or spongy pedal reduces braking effectiveness and requires immediate servicing.
Burning Smell
This can indicate overheating brakes or a stuck caliper. Prolonged overheating can damage other components in the braking system.
FAQ’s About Brake Repair Services
How often should I replace my brake pads?
Brake pads typically last between 25,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and the type of brake pads used. Regular inspections can help determine when replacement is necessary.
What happens if I drive with worn-out brakes?
Driving with worn-out brakes can lead to damage to other components like rotors and calipers, resulting in more expensive repairs and reduced safety. Timely repairs are essential for maintaining vehicle safety.
How do I know if my brake fluid needs to be replaced?
If your brake fluid looks dark or your braking feels less responsive, it’s time for a brake fluid flush. Brake fluid should typically be replaced every two years or as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer.
Can I replace brake pads myself?
While it’s possible to replace brake pads yourself, it requires the right tools and knowledge. We recommend leaving it to certified professionals for safety and precision. DIY attempts can lead to improper installation and potential safety risks.
