Brake Repair Specialist

Custom World Automotive has extensive experiance with automotive braking systems (disc brakes, drum brakes, and anti-lock brakes ABS) and can advise you on the proper care to ensure your vehicle has safe and Dependable brakes.

If you have neglected to have your brakes inspected recently or are experiencing poor braking performance have your braking system inspected by a qualified service professional.

How your brakes work

The braking system is a hydraulic system which includes:

- master cylinder : Fluid is sent from the master cylinder to each brake when the brake pedal is depressed.

- brake fluid : A special hydraulic fluid that is sent through the brake lines.

- brake lines : Mostly steel tubes and some rubber, brake lines direct the brake fluid to each brake on the vehicle.

- parking brake/ emergency brake : This system bypasses the hydraulic system in case of complete hydraulic failure.

Brake Tips

Make sure you have the brake fluid changed about every 2 years.

Your service technician can check your brake pads or brake shoes for wear and advise on when they should be replaced.

If you hear a squealing noise when you apply the brakes do not ignore it.  This is a warning device telling you that your brake pad or shoes need to be replaced immediately.  It is dangerous to drive with severly warn brake pads or shoes.

Use your parking brake often because it keeps your brakes properly adjusted.
