Most modern-era vehicles are equipped with brake rotors that contain less material compared to the prior generations of vehicles. This is to reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel economy. Excessive corrosion on the cooling fins is also significant and causes the brake rotor to warp. Warping of the brake rotor is noticed through a pulsation in the steering wheel, brake pedal, or both when the brakes are applied. If you notice these issues with your vehicle, bring your car into Hollenshade’s auto repair garage for fast, affordable brake repair services.
Periodic disassembly and lubrication of the proper contact points can significantly increase the longevity and performance of you brake system and its components. Salt applied to the roadways throughout the winter months contributes to excessive corrosion. This corrosion can affect both the application and release of the brake pad from the rotor surface, increasing wear and reducing performance. Hollenshade’s offers comprehensive brake system maintenance in Baltimore County.
It’s recommended to have your brakes inspected every 10,000 to 12,000 miles or at least once a year. Regular inspections help catch issues early before they become major problems.
Brake pad lifespan can vary depending on driving habits and conditions, but they generally last between 30,000 to 70,000 miles. Regular inspections can help determine when they need to be replaced.
Driving with worn-out brake pads is dangerous as it can significantly reduce braking efficiency and lead to further damage to the braking system. It’s important to replace them as soon as they show signs of wear.
