Brake Inspection Services at Sunland Tire

Brakes are essential for vehicle safety, using friction to bring your car to a complete stop. Over time, this friction generates heat, which can wear down brake components. Regular brake inspections are a crucial part of vehicle maintenance to ensure everything functions properly. While brake systems may differ across vehicles, their core function remains the same.

The two most common types of brakes are drum brakes and disc brakes.

• Drum brakes consist of brake shoes, drums, wheel cylinders, springs, and self-adjusters.
• Disc brakes include brake pads, rotors, calipers, and hydraulic components.

Additionally, the parking brake assembly—responsible for keeping your vehicle stationary—may be housed within a drum or rotor, depending on your rear brake system. A thorough brake inspection includes checking all these components, along with the brake pedal and brake fluid, to ensure your vehicle remains safe on the road.

Why Choose Sunland Tire for Brake Inspections?

Regular brake inspections are key to maintaining safe driving conditions. The need for an inspection varies based on driving habits and road conditions, but at Sunland Tire, our goal is to identify, diagnose, and address any brake issues before they become major concerns.

During an inspection, we may recommend:
