Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Different Types of Braking Systems
There are four types of braking systems that vehicles use, they are as follows:
Disc Brakes: The most common types of brakes on modern vehicles. This uses a series of discs on the two wheels that need the most force to stop your vehicle.
  ÂAnti-Lock Brakes: Anti-lock brakes are disc brakes with an added function that prevents the wheels from locking up during a skid. This system helps prevent hydroplaning.
Emergency Brakes: This braking system exists independently of your service brakes. You can engage emergency brakes by shutting off your engine, pulling the lever or pushing the required button, and releasing the brake pedal.
  ÂDrum Brakes: Drum brakes are commonly found on rear wheel vehicles. They are less complex than disc brakes and aren't as cheap.
How Often Should I Replace My Brakes?
This depends on your driving habits. Typically, you should replace your brakes every 25,000 to 70,000 miles.
How Often Should I Have My Brakes Inspected?
