Brake service, with its variety of component parts, is an important and potentially confusing area of car repair.

A brake repair usually involves replacing the brake pads or shoes, resurfacing the rotors or drums, adding new brake fluid and bleeding the system as needed, and looking for other worn components.

Brakes are vital for safe stopping, but the brake system wears out over time and with use, like any other moving part on your car. If you hear squealing, squeaking, or your brake pedal seems softer than usual, bring your car to Ogden Automotive and let our professional mechanics inspect them. If the brakes start grinding, it is a definite sign they need to be examined for replacement.
