Brakes are the heart of your car’s safety system. Whether you’re driving through busy streets, traffic jams, or on highways, brakes help you stop the vehicle at the right time and avoid accidents. In India, where road conditions vary and sudden stops are common, having well-maintained brakes is very important. Most cars today use disc brakes in the front wheels and drum brakes in the rear. When you press the brake pedal, the system uses hydraulic pressure to slow down the wheels by creating friction. Over time, brake pads and discs can wear out. If you hear squeaking, feel vibrations, or notice the car takes longer to stop — it’s a clear sign your brakes need servicing. Getting your brakes checked every 6 months or during regular car service can save lives and money. Don’t wait for a problem; safe braking starts with timely maintenance
