There are certain parts of your vehicle that are a necessity to keeping you safe while on the road. As the braking system is a key part of vehicle safety, the brake pads are one of these aforementioned necessary parts. Knowing how they work can aid you in determining a maintenance and replacement schedule.
If your vehicle has disc brakes, then it also has rotors that are attached to each wheel. When you press the brake pedal of your vehicle, calipers squeeze the rotors to slow you down. Brake pads serve to reduce the friction that is generated by this action. All brake pads wear down over time.
If you notice that your vehicle isn't slowing down or braking as it once did, then it may be time to get them serviced or replaced. Come visit us at Oxford Toyota. We are conveniently located in Oxford and are equipped to resolve your braking issues. Your safety is our priority.
