Knowing the Brake Components of the Brake System

The best way to care for your brakes is to be aware of how your brake system operates. Obviously, the brake system is an important element of your luxury vehicle, allowing you to stop safely. The team at our Porsche Center in Tallahassee, FL, is here to care for your brakes, while also helping you understand how the components work collaboratively together.

One main component of the brake system is the brake calipers. The calipers work to squeeze the brake pads directly against the brake rotors so that you can stop your vehicle. The hoses of the brake system carry fluid to the brake calipers from the main line. During Porsche brake service and repair in Tallahassee, FL, our technicians inspect the hoses to ensure that fluid is not leaking due to hoses that are cracked or deteriorating. We also inspect to determine whether or not you need a Porsche brake fluid flush.

The brake rotors are also essential and the components of your system that the brake pads grip, allowing your vehicle’s wheels to stop spinning. Often referred to as the shoes, the brake pads apply pressure to the rotors to stop your vehicle when you push on the brake pedal.

The Right Time for Porsche Brake Service

At Porsche Tallahassee, our technicians compile a customized Porsche maintenance schedule to help you stay on top of necessary auto repairs. However, on average, you’ll need a brake replacement between 30,000 miles to 60,000 miles. Typically, the front brakes wear out faster than the rear brakes, but staying in tune with how your brake system is operating is crucial to detect signs and symptoms that you need Porsche brake repair.

When performing brake service, our technicians will evaluate what component of your system needs to be repaired or replaced. For instance, you may just need rotors versus pads or vice versa. Neglecting a repair could lead to more damage that could cost you more down the road. For example, brake pads that are worn down can damage the rotors. When replacing the rotors, you’ll notice that these are usually swapped out two at a time, depending upon the condition of the pads. The average timeline to replace rotors is usually by 70,000 miles.
