Hi I'm Rick Bilger, owner of Advanced Auto Pros. Have you ever wanted to know more about
your auto repairs, but didn't know who to ask or even what questions to ask them? We
believe everyone can be helped to understand their cars and are committed to educating
our clients. We're dedicated to making sure your vehicle is trouble free and fun to drive
as long as possible and we know this will save our clients thousands of dollars. This
brief video provides you with information designed to help you make the right decision
about your auto repairs. Brake pads are a key component in your vehicles
braking system. As the brakes are applied their contact with the brake rotors are what
allow you to stop. Over time this interaction causes brake pads to gradually wear down,
reducing your braking ability.
We recommend replacing your brake pads after they have worn to less than ⅛ inch often
signaled by a squealing wear indicator embedded in the brake pad.
Brake pad wear beyond this period will dramatically increase stopping distance.
Further neglect will lead to severe damage and replacement of brake rotors, as metal
components of the brake come in contact.
Having your brake pads serviced as soon as they reach minimal thickness, will extend
the life of your braking system and prevent the need for costly rotor replacement.
From a safety standpoint, deteriorated brake pads will dramatically increase the distance
required for you to stop, possibly causing an accident and dangering your life, and those
of others.
Neglecting brake pad maintenance has no environmental impact.
So if this makes sense for you and your vehicle why not call right now or go to our website
and make an appointment today!
