Hi, I'm Chris Robbins, owner of Plymouth VIP Auto. Have you ever wanted to know more about
your auto repair, but were afraid to ask your mechanic or thought the answer might be too
technical? Well, in this brief video we provide you with information needed to help you make
the right decisions about your vehicle's repair. We're dedicated to making sure you can drive
your vehicle, worry free, for as long as possible with the least amount of expense.
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 please give us a call or go to our website and make an appointment today!
