Your vehicle’s brake system is crucial for your safety, the safety of your passengers, and everyone on the road. It’s composed of precisely engineered parts that work together to stop your car by converting kinetic energy into heat. Over time, essential components like brake pads, shoes, calipers, and rotors wear down due to friction and heat from regular use.

Even though brake systems can vary by vehicle, the warning signs of brake issues are generally the same. If you notice squealing, grinding, pulling to one side, or a brake warning light, it’s time to come in for a free brake inspection.

Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement

Squealing sounds when braking are often a sign that your brake pads need replacement. Ignoring worn pads can lead to grinding, which indicates metal-on-metal contact that could damage the rotors or drums. While some might attempt a DIY replacement, it’s always safer to trust a professional for brake service.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

Your car’s Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) helps prevent wheel lockup, allowing you to maintain control and avoid skidding during sudden stops. If your ABS light comes on, bring your vehicle to Kwik Kar Fort Worth, where we can quickly diagnose and address any issues with your ABS.

Caliper Replacement

Brake calipers hold the brake pads in place and clamp them against the rotor when you press the brake pedal. A faulty caliper can cause uneven braking, which may cause your vehicle to pull or slide—particularly dangerous in wet or icy conditions. If you’re experiencing these issues, prompt service is essential.
