Your brakes are one of the most critical safety systems in your vehicle. Reliable brakes can be the difference between stopping safely and being involved in a collision. At Hanford’s Tire & Service in London, Ontario, we inspect, service, and repair brake systems to make sure your vehicle stops smoothly and safely every time you drive.
If you notice any of these symptoms, your brake system may need inspection or repair.
Your vehicle’s brake system is made up of several key components that work together to slow or stop your car efficiently.
The master cylinder converts the pressure you apply to the brake pedal into hydraulic force, sending brake fluid to each wheel.
Brake fluid transfers that pressure to each brake. Over time, moisture and contaminants can cause fluid breakdown or corrosion in the lines. Regular inspections help prevent leaks and ensure consistent braking power.
Most modern vehicles use disc brakes on the front wheels for greater stopping performance.
Some vehicles use drum brakes on the rear wheels as a cost-effective alternative.
Our team is dedicated to helping you stay on the road with confidence and reliable performance.
Don’t wait until you hear grinding or feel vibration in your brakes.
