Why Brake Maintenance Matters
Regular brake service is essential for your safety and your vehicle’s long-term performance. Worn brake pads, low brake fluid, or warped rotors can increase stopping distance and lead to unsafe driving conditions. Ignoring these issues may also result in more costly repairs down the road. That is why routine brake inspections and maintenance are so important, especially if you notice squeaking, grinding, or a spongy brake pedal.
At Willy’s Auto Service in Provo, we specialize in complete brake repair and maintenance for all makes and models. Our technicians use premium brake pads, rotors, and DOT-approved fluid to keep your vehicle stopping safely and smoothly. Whether your vehicle is new or older, we deliver quality brake service at a fair price. We are proud to help drivers in Provo stay safe and keep their cars running at their best.
Brake Service Frequently Asked Questions
How should brakes work?
When you step on the pedal, you should notice a firm, progressive resistance. That pressure activates the master cylinder, sending hydraulic fluid through sealed lines to each wheel.
The fluid multiplies the small force from your foot, allowing the brake pads to clamp the rotors and bring the car to a confident, steady stop.
If the pedal ever feels spongy or sinks toward the floor, have it checked right away. Your safety depends on it.
What exactly are brake pads?
Brake pads are flat friction blocks mounted inside each caliper.
When you press the pedal, the caliper squeezes the pads against the spinning brake rotors, turning motion into heat and stopping the wheels.
A high-pitched squeal while braking is usually the pads’ built-in wear indicator telling you it’s time for replacement.
What are rotors (brake discs)?
Brake rotors are the shiny round discs attached to each wheel. When you press the brake pedal, the pads squeeze the rotors to slow down your vehicle by turning motion into heat.For smooth and safe braking, your rotors need to stay in good shape.
If you have ever felt your steering wheel shake while braking, your rotors may be worn or uneven. This could mean it is time to replace or resurface them.
How long do brake pads and rotors last?
-
Brake pads: Roughly 30,000 – 70,000 miles, depending on driving style, traffic conditions, and pad material.
-
Brake rotors: They may last through one or two sets of pads (often 60,000 to 90,000 miles), but this depends heavily on driving habits, environment, and rotor condition.
We inspect both parts at every brake service and advise you on the safest, most cost effective plan.
Why does my brake pedal feel spongy?
A spongy brake pedal usually means air or moisture has entered the hydraulic lines, preventing the fluid from maintaining solid pressure.
Bleeding or flushing the brake system removes trapped air and restores a firm pedal feel.
Sponginess can also point to failing calipers, master cylinder or rubber flex lines, so don’t wait to have it diagnosed.
Do I have to change my brake fluid?
Brake fluid plays a critical role in your vehicle’s braking system. Over time, it absorbs moisture from the air, which can lower its boiling point. This can cause soft brake pedals or longer stopping distances, especially during hard braking.
Regular brake fluid changes help keep your brakes responsive, reliable, and safe.
