Car Brakes

The brakes on your car are one of the most essential components of your vehicle. Without properly working brakes, all the speed and force you build up while in motion can’t be properly controlled. More importantly, an inability to stop when you need to can endanger yourself, your passengers and other people on the road.

Your car brakes get constant usage from the moment you start driving. They’re not like the headlights or wipers that are only used in specific conditions. Every time you drive, you rely heavily on your brakes to give you precision and control while on the road.
But that constant usage also means that your brakes are put under constant stress. And no piece of automotive equipment, no matter how well it is built, can run forever without some maintenance. When it comes to your brakes, it is both common sense and legally required that they be in good working order.

At Gordons, we pride ourselves on being tire experts, but we also know that good traction is just one part of an important equation when it comes to precision control on the road. The brakes of your car are intricate components that benefit from great engineering, but they still require certain things, like brake fluid, in order to work properly.

When you come to Gordons, we can advise you on everything you need to consider to make sure your car is in good working order, and ready to deal with the roads of Montreal and Quebec, regardless of the season. Our extensive expertise covers everything that’s important about your car, including the brakes.

If you bring your car into Gordons, we can inspect your brakes to see exactly what kind of condition they are in. We’ll look at the front and rear brakes, and if they’re in good shape, we’ll tell you. If they’ve gotten dirty over the year, and that dirt is impacting their reliability, we’ll tell you that too, and then clean them up to keep their efficiency and performance up to the standards you need.

We can also do preventive maintenance to eliminate small problems before they turn into costly, dangerous ones. Brake fluid, for instance, doesn’t get used up as readily as the fuel that goes into your engine, but it doesn’t last forever either. We can check the levels and replenish them as needed, so they don’t affect your driving.

At Gordons, we’re ready to give you and your car complete care for top performance and maximum safety.
