What is the Purpose of Brake Rotors and Pads in your Vehicle?

Brake rotors and brake pads working together are the most important part of your braking system that helps in stopping the vehicle. When all the components, especially the pads and rotors, are in good condition, your vehicle can operate at optimum performance. If just one of these parts becomes warped or distressed, the entire brake system can fail. Don’t put your safety on the road at risk due to loss of control and full stopping power because the anti-lock braking system would not operate correctly.
