Fort Worth Honda Brake Resurfacing

Brake rotors are a key component of the braking system that stops your vehicle from moving. Brake rotors (also called brake discs) are what your vehicle’s brake pads clamp down on to stop the wheels from spinning.

If you continue driving with damaged rotors, your safety and the safety of others on the road will be at risk.

Dangers of Driving with Damaged Rotors

• Increased Stopping Time – Even if the drive surface is smooth, the vehicle will take longer to stop when your rotors are damaged. If the warped rotor is on the drive axle of the vehicle, the stopping time of your vehicle will be even more noticeable.
• Temporary Brake Failure – Warped rotors cause your brake pads to wiggle back and forth, which makes the brake fluid foam up so the braking system does not get the proper amount of hydraulic pressure. If you temporarily lose control of your Honda’s brakes, you may get into an accident.

If you believe your rotors are warped or damaged, it is pivotal that you get them serviced as soon as possible.

Signs Your Rotors are Damaged

• Noisy Brakes – Warped or severely worn rotors may produce squealing or squeaking sounds. Usually, warped rotors will squeak, while severely worn will produce a scraping sound.
• Vibrations from the Brakes – These vibrations can be felt in the brake pedal, and sometimes through the vehicle’s chassis. Warped rotors may also produce a pulsating feel that will be felt in the pedal when the brakes are applied.
• Grooves or Score Marks on the Rotor – Visual scoring or grooves on the face of the rotor indicates it is bad or failing. These marks occur because of repeated contact with the brake pads. These marks can take away from the rotor’s ability to slow your Honda, as well as cause vibration and pulsations felt in the pedal. These marks typically signify a need for complete rotor replacement.
