Regular brake checks ensure your vehicle operates with maximum safety and efficiency, preventing costly repairs down the line. At Christian Brothers, we emphasize the importance of consistent brake inspections to our Brentwood clients. This service helps extend the lifespan of your brake components and enhances your vehicle’s performance. 

Brake Fluid Change Importance

Brake fluid plays a crucial role in the hydraulic system of your brakes, and its maintenance is essential for effective braking. At Christian Brothers Automotive Brentwood, we recommend brake fluid changes every two years or as indicated by your vehicle's owner's manual. Our technicians use premium brake fluids to ensure your brake system remains responsive and functional. 

Brake System Warning Signs

Being aware of brake system warning signs can preempt major repairs and ensure safety. 

Common signs of a brake system problem include:

  • Squealing noises
  • Reduced responsiveness
  • Vibration while braking

Recognizing these symptoms early can reduce downtime and prevent further damage. Our brake system repair services at Christian Brothers Brentwood provide precise diagnostics and solutions to restore your vehicle’s braking power efficiently.

Differentiating Between Disc and Drum Brakes

Understanding the differences between disc and drum brakes can help you make informed decisions about vehicle maintenance. Disc brakes, commonly found on modern vehicles, offer superior performance and are more effective in dissipating heat. Drum brakes, often used on older models, are advantageous for lighter vehicles. Our team at Christian Brothers will provide advice on the best solutions tailored to your car’s braking system. More information is available at our Disc vs. Drum Brakes page.

Signs You Need a Brake Rotor Replacement

Knowing when to replace brake rotors is key to maintaining effective braking. Worn-out rotors can cause decreased braking efficiency, noise, and vibration. At Christian Brothers Automotive Brentwood, we inspect for signs such as grooves or scoring on rotor surfaces to diagnose the necessity for replacement. Keep your vehicle safe and reliable by visiting our Brake Rotor Replacement service page for more details.
