Brake Service
helping you get back on the road
The brakes basically work like this: when you step on the brake pedal, a hydraulic pump that drives the brake fluid towards the brake calipers is activated. The pressure of the brakes liquid causes the pistons to push the pads. These pads make friction against the brake disc, where the kinetic energy is converted into dissipated heat; making the whole vehicle decelerate progressively.

These are the brakes types:
Drum Brakes: consists of a drum rotating jointly to the wheel that has a friction material capable of braking the car when pushed against the drum.
Parking Brake: called the handbrake, it only acts on the rear wheels and serves to keep the car stopped in a parking lot.
Disc Brakes: consists of a metallic rotor disc on which pressure is exerted through the brake calipers by a hydraulic system, normally. These pads are those that are applied against the surface of the disc to generate braking force.
