Brake Repairs

We all know why brake work is important, especially because the majority of car accidents are caused by failure to stop.

Get your brake pads replaced, which naturally wears down as you use them, and aren’t too costly to fix. At AutoMechanica, this type of repair may also cover brake lines, discs, drums, and rotor repair.

Auto Maintenance FAQs

Slight brake noise is unavoidable. Signals, road bumps, dusty conditions, and even humidity can cause pads to harden, which makes the friction surface generate this noise each time it comes into contact. Noisy pads can be sanded down with the help of sandpaper to eliminate the hardening.

More often than not, it is caused by worn-down rotors. Worn out suspension parts and large bearing clearances may also be the culprit. You may need to get your rotors either skimmed or replaced with some suspension components if required.

Brake pads come with wear indicators that produce a squeaky noise when the brakes are worn out. You will be able to hear the noise from the brake pads as well as the vehicle’s information system will display the indication of brake pad wear.

No. If there’s no condition such as your pedal pulsating or steering-wheel vibrating when you press the brakes, or if the rotor is at least 1 mm thicker than the discarded thickness, then the rotor does not need a replacement, or there’s no need to turn it.

One of the most common signs of the brake wear and tear is a brake pedal with a spongy or low feeling. It usually indicates the presence of air in the hydraulic system. Or there may be a possible imbalance in the brake system when the red brake-warning light shows up. Amber brake-warning light is mostly related to a problem with the ABS. Brake pad or shoe replacement is usually done when you hear a continuous squealing or grinding sound.

Brake rotors designed to fit the same car will often be quite similar in appearance and dimensions; however, there can be some differences in internal cooling vane design, the thickness of the brake plates, and the grade and material specification of the cast iron. For original equipment brake rotors, a good amount of analysis and testing goes into determining ways to reduce thermal distortion, the noise and to maximize cooling.
