Properly functioning brakes stop your car effectively and contribute to a safe driving experience. The brake system operates by converting the driver's input into friction that slows down or stops the vehicle. When you press down on the brake pedal, hydraulic fluid pushes through the brake lines to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders, depending on whether the car has disc or drum brakes. In disc brakes, the calipers clamp brake pads against a spinning rotor, creating friction that slows the wheel. In drum brakes, the wheel cylinder pushes brake shoes against the inner surface of a rotating drum. This process generates heat and slows the vehicle's motion.

The brake system is designed to provide consistent performance and includes components like anti-lock braking systems (ABS) to prevent wheel lockup during hard braking, ensuring stability and control.

If your brake system is no longer functioning like you remember, or you notice signs that it’s time for replacement parts, contact Complete Automotive of Richmond to schedule a brake repair. It is important to have responsive brakes that slow and stop your vehicle.
