Don't leave your brakes till they breakdown, they are too important for your safety. Brake Service, Repair and Testing in Drouin

Regular inspection of your brake system is essential for ensuring it remains in optimal working condition. At Drouin Automotive Services, we perform a 65 point vehicle checkup with each full car service, alerting you to any indicators that your brakes require servicing or repair before it's too late and costly.

The braking system in a car is made up of various components, each working in tandem to bring your car to a stop. The main components include:

1. Brake pedal - the brake pedal is located inside the car, and when pressed, it sends a signal to the brake booster, which applies force to the brakes.

2. Brake booster - this component uses vacuum pressure to amplify the force applied by the driver to the brake pedal, helping to bring the car to a stop more quickly.

3. Master cylinder - the master cylinder is responsible for converting the force applied by the brake booster into hydraulic pressure that is used to actuate the brakes.

4. Brake lines - the brake lines carry the hydraulic pressure generated by the master cylinder to the brakes themselves.

5. Brake calipers - the brake calipers are responsible for clamping down on the rotors, generating friction and ultimately slowing the car down.

6. Brake pads - brake pads are positioned between the calipers and the rotors, providing a surface for the calipers to clamp down on. Over time, brake pads can wear down and will need to be replaced.

7. Rotors - rotors are discs attached to the wheels of the car that the brake pads clamp down on, generating friction and bringing the car to a stop.

All of these components work together to provide reliable stopping power, keeping you and your passengers safe while on the road.
