Brake Service: Headed for A Brake Replacement?
When you step on the brake pedal, you expect your car to come to a quick stop. If that isn't happening, you know that something isn't right. It's time to schedule a brake service. As you know, the braking system is a complicated process involving various components working together to perform one important function—stop your car! A professional auto mechanic can inspect these components and then determine whether a simple brake repair is all that is needed, or if you're headed for a complete brake replacement.
A Brake Service: Mark your calendar for at least once a year.
Don't wait until you hear or feel signs of trouble before making an appointment to have a brake service. Or, make it a practice to have an inspection each time you rotate your tires (about every 5,000-10,000 miles). A brake service should include checking the pads, rotors, and other vital components of the braking system.
If a problem is discovered, have it taken care of right away. If you wait too long, you may be looking at a complete brake replacement due to permanent damage (such as warped rotors). This will cost significantly more than a minor brake repair.

- Fun Fact: What is the Main Ingredient of WD-40 ("Water Displacement #40")? WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'Water Displacement' Compound. They were finally successful on their fortieth attempt, thus WD-40.
In the automotive world, WD-40 will. . .
- Remove tar and grime from cars.
- Lubricate noisy hinges on vehicle doors.
- Remove unwanted scuff and paint marks without harming the original paint job.
- Remove those bug guts that will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly.
- Restore and clean padded leather dashboards, as well as vinyl bumpers.
- Restore and clean roof racks.
- Spray inside a wet distributor cap to displace the moisture, allowing the engine to start.
Try it, you will be amazed! That Basic Main Ingredient--FISH OIL!
