Brake Repair

Your brakes are the one thing you can’t afford to ignore

A car’s braking system is synonymous with safety, and if your brakes aren’t up to scratch, then you need to call us here at Rangiora Mazda. If your brakes aren’t functioning up to acceptable standards, then your vehicle is a danger to everyone on the road; other drivers, passengers and pedestrians alike.

There are three main components that make up your braking system: the brake pads, calipers and rotors.

The brake pads press against the rotors, which help rotate the tyres, and this friction causes the rotors to slow down, thereby slowing down your car. The calipers encase the brake pads and rotors, and when you push the brake pedal, a hydraulic piston pushes the brake pads against the rotors.

With all this metal-on-metal, it is common for these three components to wear down over time. As this process is a gradual one, it’s sometimes difficult to notice that your brakes aren’t as responsive as they used to be. This is why it’s always a good idea to have them checked regularly.
