Brakes help keep you safe on the road by keeping you in control of your driving and helping you avoid accidents. Brakes work by applying friction to the wheels of your vehicle to slow them down or stop their motion. You must bring your vehicle to our service center at 1st Choice Motors in Madison Heights for repair and maintenance services if you have any problems with the brakes on your car.
Most modern vehicles either have disc brakes or drum brakes. Disc brakes have a rotor that spins along with the wheel and a brake pad that presses against the rotor to slow down. Drum brakes have a drum that rotates with the wheel and a brake shoe that presses against the inside of the drum to slow it down.
Brakes can last up to 65,000 miles before they need replacing. However, you may need more frequent services depending on your driving habits and the driving conditions in your area.
