Service Your Drum Brakes at Kennesaw Auto Center in Kennesaw

Last Updated: Mar 22, 2017

Brakes that work properly are essential to the safety of Kennesaw . You want to carefully maintain your brakes. In vehicles equipped with drum brakes, the brake components are housed inside a drum that rotates with the wheel. When you step on the brake pedal, brake shoes push out against the inside of the drum, slowing the wheel.

Now brake shoes just wear away with use from rubbing on the drum as you brake. When it's time to replace brake shoes at Kennesaw Auto Center in Kennesaw, it's a straightforward repair. If you hear squealing or grinding when braking, have your friendly and knowledgeable Kennesaw Auto Center check them out. He'll have a technician perform a thorough brake inspection to see what needs to be done. He'll check for signs of brake problems and go over other brake components to see that they're working properly. He can tell you if it's time to replace the shoes or if there are other issues with your brakes that should be addressed.

Some Kennesaw drivers ignore the warning signs and keep driving long after the shoes are completely worn out. When that happens, metal brake components will grind against the drum, damaging it enough that it has to be resurfaced or replaced. When you push on your brake pedal, the wheel cylinder is activated and it pushes the shoes against the drum to slow the vehicle. This cylinder, and various springs within the brake, can wear out, affecting your ability to stop. The worn components can be easily replaced. The new shoes we put on your vehicle at Kennesaw Auto Center in Kennesaw will restore your brakes to manufacturers' specifications.
