Failing Brake Rotors Lead to A Brake Replacement!

As most vehicle owners know, if they keep their vehicle long enough, it will start needing several forms of maintenance and repair, including a brake replacement. That is unless the vehicle never leaves the driveway. However, if regular maintenance has been kept up on the braking system, or a brake repair took place as soon as problems were noticed, such as for warped brake rotors, a brake replacement is usually minor, and thus not too costly. Just like all the other systems of your vehicle, if problems are ignored or neglected, a brake replacement can be rather expensive because of other damage that could take place in other components of your vehicle.

Don't Let Failing Brake Rotors Cause a Brake Replacement!

The most common component of the braking system to fail is brake rotors. They have a highly machined surface where the brake pads make contact. Unfortunately, rotors will eventually wear out, usually in the form of ridges and groves where the pads rub against them. Damage to the rotors can be caused by worn-out pads. The cost of your repair will increase significantly if you have to replace both the brake rotors and the pads.

If your auto mechanic can machine and resurface the rotors, the cost of the repair will be lowered considerably. But this can only be done a certain number of times, as you can create the risk that thinner rotors will warp due to the high heat caused by the friction between the pad and disc. A certified brake repair specialist will be able to assess the condition of the rotors and advise you as to whether the rotors can be resurfaced, or whether they should be completely replaced.

Remember: For "stopping problems," schedule an inspection of your braking system, especially the brake rotors! Stay safe!
