Understanding Your Braking System

While you may not give it a lot of thought on a daily basis, your braking system is extremely important to the safe operation of your vehicle. The brake system is made up of pads and rotors set up in a caliper and disc system. The caliper clamps down on the brake pad when you apply the brakes. This brings the car to a stop. However, this clamping action eventually wears down the pad, and after some time, the pads need to be replaced. This is why routine brake service for your MINI and BMW vehicles is so important: it keeps you, your passengers, and other motorists safe on the road.

  • Brake Hoses – Your hoses are responsible for maintaining braking power through the transfer of brake fluid and hydraulic pressure. When these hoses are compromised or unable to flex, the safety of vehicle operation is impacted.
  • Brake Fluid Flushes – Your brake fluid has a direct impact on the performance of the braking system. Flushes ensure that your brakes work the way they’re supposed to.
  • Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement – It is recommended that you have your brake pads and shoes replaced after 30,000-35,000 miles. Replacing the pads and shoes at proper intervals is extremely important, as structural damage can occur when you drive for a long time on worn-out pads.
  • Anti-Lock Braking System Service – Your ABS system is complex, but our mechanics can diagnose issues and fix them quickly.
