It’s much more important for your car to stop than it is for it to go. Your family’s safety is dependent on your car’s braking system to be in top condition at all times.
Modern vehicles have become much better when it comes to corrosion resistance, but rusted brake lines and other brake components are still a pretty common occurrence in the Northeast.
In addition to rust, braking system components wear out by design. Brake pads and shoes that are worn beyond their minimum specification can cause stopping distance to increase. When it comes to a panic stop situation, every inch counts.
