BRAKES ARE WORKS OF FRICTION
Works of Friction
Both disc and drum brakes slow your car by creating friction, which also causes brake parts like pads and shoes to wear. Ignoring your brakes can cause damage to your brakes – and ultimately result in brake failure.
Heed the Warnings
When braking, if you notice a flashing brake warning light, hear squealing or grinding noises, feel the steering wheel shake or sense the need for an increased stopping distance, it's very likely time for a brake service.
