Your Brake Experts: Keeping You Safe on the Road

​

At TAB Automotive, we understand that your vehicle's brakes are an essential component when it comes to safety and control while driving. To ensure that your brakes are in top-notch condition, it's crucial to understand the different types of brakes and the recommended maintenance intervals.

​

Types of Brakes: Disc and Drum Brakes, Emergency Brakes, and Anti-Lock Brakes

​

There are two primary types of service brakes responsible for stopping your vehicle while driving: disc brakes and drum brakes. Additionally, most vehicles are equipped with emergency brakes and anti-lock brakes to enhance safety and control.

Disc brakes are known for their efficiency in dissipating heat and providing consistent stopping power. Drum brakes, on the other hand, have a different design but are equally important in your vehicle's braking system. Our expert technicians are well-versed in servicing both types, ensuring your brakes are in optimal condition.

​

Routine Maintenance is Key

​

To keep your brakes performing at their best, it's essential to follow a regular maintenance schedule. Here are some guidelines:

• Every 12,000 Miles: We recommend inspecting the brake pads and brake fluid. If the pad lining measures less than 1/8-inch, it's time for replacement. Dirty brake fluid should also be replaced to maintain brake system performance.

• Every 25,000 Miles: Most manufacturers recommend changing the brake fluid to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your braking system.

Prioritize Your Safety

​

Your safety on the road depends on well-maintained brakes. Pay attention to warning signs such as vibrations coming up the steering column, pulling to one side when braking, or unusual metal scraping noises. These indicators could signify brake system issues that require immediate attention.
