Brake Pads

The brake pads are an important part of your GM vehicle's braking system. It is a well known fact, that you need your brakes to be able to stop your vehicle. When you press on your brakes, your brake pads will tighten on the rotors, this causes friction and allows your vehicle to come to a stop. When you think about how many times we have to stop when we are driving and sometimes very quickly, you can understand how overtime the brakes pads will wear out. Every time that you step on your brakes your brake pads are being squeezed. When your brake pads wear down to less than 1/4 inch thick you should look into replacing them. When brake pads become too thin, it can cause the metal to rub against the metal of the brake rotors. This then becomes somewhat of a domino effect, the rotors become damaged, then your steering may start to vibrate when you are braking and other damage can occur. Being proactive and taking care to replace the brake pads is the best way to keep your brake system working well. When it comes time to replace your brake pads you can purchase them on our webstore.
