Brake Rotors Are Necessary For Your Vehicle

The brake rotors are a fairly large component of your brake system. They sit on the wheel hub and help your wheels to slow down when you press on the brake pedal. The brake pads grip the rotors, causing them to slow their turning.

Over time, your brake pads wear down. If they aren’t replaced soon enough, they can cause damage to the smooth surface of the rotors. This rough surface makes it harder to stop when you apply the brakes.

How to Know When to Replace Brake Rotors

One of the best features of your brake system is that it will continue to work even when it’s damaged. However, you could end up with more damage and more expensive repairs if you fail to get the brakes repaired at the first sign of a problem.

One of the first signs of brake issues is a squealing sound when you press on the pedal. As the worn brake pads cause damage to the rotors, you’ll start to hear a grinding noise any time you brake. When you hear these noises, you can bring your vehicle to the service center at Stanley Ford Gilmer, and we’ll let you know if it’s the brake pads, rotors, or both that need to be repaired.

When you press on the brake pedal, you may feel a vibration. This happens when the brake pads are gripping a rough part of the rotors. Vibrations can also indicate wheel misalignment or tire issues, so you need to have the problem checked out by service technicians.

You might notice that the rotors have a bluish color, which indicates damage. You might see grooves on the rotors. Anytime you bring your vehicle in for regular routine service, our technicians will inspect your brakes and let you know how much life is left or if they need to be replaced right away.
