Brake Repair Services from LZ Automotive

Your braking system is one of the most important parts of your vehicle. The ability to stop your car in a safe and timely manner can mean the difference between your average daily drive and serious danger. Even simple drives (not unlike a local, daily commute) can see you frequently stopping at lights and making way for numerous pedestrians. If you suspect that your brakes are not performing optimally, it’s wise to have your braking system evaluated by a team or reputable, passionate auto repair professionals. (Hey...That’s us!)

Composed of highly engineered components and precise movements, your vehicle's brake system works hard to stop your vehicle by transforming kinetic energy into thermal energy. Your brake system’s key components–brake pads, brake shoes, and calipers–work together as a team to allow for fast, efficient braking.

Signs of a Failing Brake system

It’s important to keep an eye out for some of these troubling signs of a failing brake system:

• A brake pedal that feels too soft or spongy when engaged: This is an indication that there is too much air in the hydraulic brake lines
• Loud squealing or grinding while braking: This can signal that it's time for a brake pad replacement.
• Vehicle pulling in one direction while braking: This issue can stem from worn brakes, problems with the calipers, or loss of brake fluid.

While there are certainly other telling signs of brake issues, these are the most common.
