Last month, we compared the common materials for brake pads. In this article, we’re taking a look at another important part of your brakes: the rotors. Brake rotors are a crucial component of your vehicle’s braking system and play a vital role in ensuring your safety on the road. At Brakes on Demand, ensuring that your brake system performs at its best is what we do, so you can trust that we know our stuff when it comes to your rotors.
Maintaining your rotors is important to the life of your brakes for several reasons. Here are the top four.
Improved Safety
Worn-out brake rotors can lead to reduced braking power and increased stopping distances, which can be dangerous in emergency situations. Maintaining your brake rotors ensures that your vehicle’s braking system is working effectively. When your rotors are in good shape, you will have maximum control over your vehicle when you need to stop.
Longevity of brake pads
Brake rotors that are worn out or damaged can cause increased wear on your brake pads. This not only leads to decreased braking performance but also means that you’ll need to replace your brake pads more frequently. Even though Brakes On Demand makes getting repairs easy and convenient, you still don’t want to have to call on us more often than you have to!
Cost savings
Replacing worn-out brake rotors can be expensive, so maintaining them can help you save money in the long run. By regularly inspecting your brake rotors for signs of wear and damage, you can catch problems before they get too serious and potentially save yourself from having to pay for a costly repair.
Improved performance
Brake rotors that are in good condition will provide consistent and predictable stopping power, which is important for driving comfort and performance. It’s extra important in New England in the winter when the roads are often slippery.
