Brakes

Well-functioning and properly maintained brakes are integral to the safety of your vehicle. As brake pads and shoes apply friction to slow your vehicle, the linings wear down and become thin.

Luckily, it's easier than ever to schedule a brake change online with one of Boon30's registered service providers.

As your braking system is such an important part of your car's safety and health, a thorough inspection is always recommended before deciding which components need replacing.

The life of brake linings depends on the type of driving, vehicle size, temperature, and frequency of use. City driving, which can involve near-constant braking, will wear down your linings and components faster.

There are several components that may need changing in your vehicle's braking system—and as they wear down at different rates, a brake change might involve simply changing the front brake linings (which typically wear down faster), or all brake linings. Brake fluid can also be changed at this time, as it absorbs moisture over time which can lead to corrosion damage, especially in wet climates.

Depending on the health of your vehicle's braking system, replacements or repairs may be recommended for calipers, wheel cylinders, lines, hoses, drums, rotors, wheel bearings, and ABS systems.
