Brakes
Typical vehicle operation puts brakes through more heavy use than most other parts, so it is inevitable that they experience wear and tear through the miles, whatever the road surfaces. Brake fluid, which runs through the pipes from the pedals to the wheels, doesn’t last forever and sometimes needs refreshing. Brake pads, which are pressed together to create friction to stop the wheels when the hydraulic brakes are applied, become worn and sometimes need replacing. Brake parts in general are subject to intense pressures, so it is dangerous to continue driving with damaged components. If the brakes fail, the whole car fails with potentially disastrous consequences....
DISCS / PADS
Discs and Pads, Shoes and Drums on older cars are the most likely parts of the braking system to need replacing because they naturally wear down during use.Ignoring a squealing brake is not an option because it usually means that the friction material is no longer doing its job and you are at risk of causing further damage, making the repair much more serious...C.A.R.S Mobile Mechanic can fit new brake discs and pads to your car at your home or work!
