Remember your last sudden stop while driving? How quickly your vehicle stops depends on numerous factors including speed, weight of the car, condition of the brakes and road condition. Are your brakes up to the winter road challenge?
Brakes operate in high temperatures under normal conditions, and months of summer heat only tax the system further.
Experts urge drivers to conduct a post-summer brake inspection to see how well your stopping system is holding up after months of intense weather.
Vehicle problems tend to sneak up on us, but brakes tend to offer us warnings beforehand. Paying heed to the squeaks and vibrations can save you a bundle in repairs.
You clipped the curb while trying to parallel park and now the car drifts right. Left unaddressed, you could face an expensive repair or tire replacement. Now what?
Don't wait for summer to find out your brake system can't handle the heat. Temperatures can push components to the brink of failure.
Here's what you need to know before going on your next road adventure.
Tires aren’t complicated. Just keep them properly inflated, rotate them every so often and don’t run over the curb and they’ll be just fine, right?
Actually, no.
Ask a driver how their ABS is and chances are you’ll get a blank stare.
Anti-lock brake systems are credited as one of the most advanced safety technologies in modern vehicles yet they are an enigma to many.
How do you know if your ABS is functioning properly? It’s part performance and part education.
Some warning signs never flash across your vehicle dashboard. Problems such as squeals or a vibrating brake pedal could be your car’s way of pleading for service.
The term “all-weather tire” gives drivers a vision of something that handles road conditions in any kind of weather.
You are dropping your kids at school and as you approach the crowded turn-out, you press down on your brake pedal but get a slow or spongy response. That delayed response or spongy feel may indicate a more serious problem--air or moisture in your vehicle's brake lines. Inspection by a brake expert is critical to prevent possible brake failure.
