Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Buick brake system is comprised of the following key components:

  • Brake pads or shoes are the components that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's extremely critical to keep Buick brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Buick maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.
  • Rotors likewise called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are several types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let Coggin Auto find the best type of brake rotors for your Buick
  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Buick rotors to slow or stop your car.
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Buick braking system together so it can function accurately.
  • Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to trigger the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your Buick.
  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Buick brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
  • Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Buick brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined constantly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Buick maintenance schedule for more facts on when your hoses should be replaced.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which still acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can still cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate still protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will equally distribute pressure against the brake disc. Mostly, the more pistons in a caliper, the more equally the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

How much do new rotors cost?

It depends on whether you need your Buick rotors replaced or simply resurfaced. As stated prior, since we are able to order parts directly from Buick we can save you time and capital replacing your rotors At Coggin Automotive Group we'll have one of our Buick technicians examine your vehicle to give you a recommendation and estimate..>
