Description of Brakes

​A brake is a mechanical device that inhibits motion by absorbing energy from a moving system. It is used for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle, wheel, axle, or to prevent its motion, most often accomplished by means of friction.

Benefits of Brake Repair

There are big benefits in having a brake system that works properly. Being able to stop is very important. Having something dart in front of us while driving can be scary and having a vehicle that will stop when needed is a must.
