Every day drivers have wrecks due to poorly maintained brakes. As winter descends, our brakes become even more important. Start your winter with a brake inspection by your qualified mechanic at Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center. It's easy to use our online scheduler for auto repair Saugerties NY.
Increased Importance
While it has always been true that well-maintained brakes are critical to vehicle safety, many drivers don't realize that brakes have taken on more importance with the development of traction systems. Traction systems rely on brake redistribution to maintain stability and balance. If even one brake is not working properly, then the entire system struggles to compensate. 
Rotor/Disc Replacement
Before winter starts, let Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center inspect your brakes. If your rotors or discs are rusting or otherwise damaged, the problem will get worse with winter stress. It is far cheaper to replace these parts rather than endure a collision due to a loss of traction.
Pad Replacement
Before winter starts, check your records. How old are your brake pads? You can head off trouble by replacing them in a timely manner. If you hear a squeal or a squeak when braking, then the pads definitely need to be replaced.
Fluid Replacement
If your car is aging, the brake fluid should be drained and replaced. You can find out more with a quick look at your vehicle's maintenance schedule. This affordable step both ensures your safety now and protects your brakes from long-term damage.
