Brake Maintenance and Repair at Gillman Honda Houston

 

Grinding, vibrating, and squealing are all telltale signs that your car's brakes are ready for repairs or replacement. And since brakes are vital to your car's safety, you'll want to immediately visit our Honda dealership at 10595 W Sam Houston Pkwy S in Houston, TX for a consultation.

Basics of Brakes

Operating a Honda car's brakes is easy, thanks to an efficient hydraulic system design. All four wheels have brakes, with the front brakes being most important because they bear the brunt of the car's weight when the brakes are applied.

So what happens when you press the brake pedal? Without getting too technical, pressing the brake forces brake fluid to leave the master cylinder and travel down the brake lines, with its ultimate destination being a smaller cylinder at each wheel. The fluid, which is distributed evenly between all four wheels, fills the cylinder, causing pistons to pop out and apply the brakes to each wheel.

We recommend that drivers visit our Honda service center serving Sugar Land, TX every six months/6,000 miles to have their brakes inspected. Signs that you may need new brakes include worn-out pads and/or shoes, hot spots in the brake rotors, and leaks in either of the aforementioned cylinders, or the brake lines. To extend the lifetime of your brakes, the Gillman Honda Houston team encourages drivers to avoid driving with two feet (i.e. one over the gas, one over the brake), and to develop good habits with regard to following-distance and anticipating stoplights.
