Keeping your vehicle's braking system in good working order is important, and we here at Green Subaru are ready to partner with you when it comes to this critical task. We also like to educate our current and prospective customers and offer the following facts on brake pads and related components.
Brake pads employ friction to bring a moving vehicle to a stop. As the brake pedal is depressed, the brake pads come in contact with brake rotors that in turn slow the rotation of the wheels. Most brake pads are made of metallic substances, but ceramic and natural fiber pads are available for specific applications.
Most manufacturers recommend brake pad replacement every 10,000 to 20,000 miles. Our crew is trained and equipped to deal with a full range of brake and general automotive repair matters, so make us your choice for brake pad services if you live or work anywhere in Springfield, IL.
