When it comes to keeping yourself and your passengers safe, your vehicle’s brakes are crucial. You should always keep the brakes in good condition, including having the brake pads changed when necessary. When the time comes for you to have your Hyundai model’s brakes changed, come to Amato Hyundai of Glendale. We are proud to be your local source for brake service near Brown Deer and West Allis, Wisconsin.
Your vehicle’s brake pads are part of the disc braking system. When you step on the brake pedal, the calipers squeeze together — and the brake pads are attached to the calipers. The squeezing of the calipers makes the brake pads press against the rotors, causing your vehicle to slow down or stop. The brake pads are made up of two main parts: the metal backing that attaches to the calipers and the brake lining that presses against the rotors.
The brake lining is made of a softer, friction-resistant material. This prevents the braking system from becoming damaged; however, it also means that the brake lining will wear down faster. As the brake lining gets thinner, you may find that you have to push down further on the brake pedal to engage the brakes. If the brake lining gets too thin, the metal backing will be exposed. This can severely damage the rotors and other parts of the braking system, and it will cost much more than simply replacing the brake pads would.
If your brake pads are near the end of their lifespan, you may notice a squealing sound when you step on the brakes. This is because of wear indicators, which are exposed when the lining gets thin enough. However, it’s best not to wait until these wear indicators are exposed; this is why we recommend regular brake inspections at Amato Hyundai of Glendale. Our certified technicians will check your braking system, including the thickness of the brake lining on your brake pads. They will let you know whether the brake pads need to be replaced soon or if they still have considerable life left in them.
When you come to Amato Hyundai of Glendale for brake pad replacement, our technicians will use genuine Hyundai brake pads to ensure exceptional performance. Schedule your appointment online or by phone; then, visit Amato Hyundai of Glendale. We look forward to seeing you!
