Brake Rotors Video

Brake rotors are a critical part of your vehicle’s braking system. They work together with the brake pads to help bring your vehicle to a controlled and complete stop.

When you apply the brakes, the brake pads press against the rotors to slow the wheels. Over time, this contact causes the rotors to wear down. Like brake pads, rotors do not last forever and may need to be replaced or resurfaced when they become worn or uneven.

At Maxcare Auto Centers in Chicago, IL, our technicians can measure rotor thickness and inspect their condition during brake service. Worn or damaged rotors may not dissipate heat as effectively, which can affect braking performance over time.

In some cases, warped or worn rotors may also contribute to uneven brake pad wear and lead to additional brake service needs.

If you’re noticing vibration when braking or other concerns, we may begin with an inspection as part of our auto diagnostics service and evaluate related components within the brake repair system.

If your brake rotors need to be inspected or serviced, call 773-666-0085 today.
