At Roseville Toyota, we offer a multi-point inspection with every service visit that includes inspecting your Toyota brakes, brake pads, rotors, brake operation, belts, hoses and filters. This inspection includes other items and systems - not just your brake system. Our mechanics will also look at the following when inspecting your brakes:

• Brake Operation & Parts - such as Brake Pad Thickness & hardware for wear and tear
• Brake hoses - problems with the hoses, like cracking or clogs are accepted and need traditional checking as they can wear over time
• Cylinders - check wheel cylinders & brake master cylinder for function
• Brake Fluid - Checking brake fluid levels, color and signs of and brake fluid leaks
• Rotors / Brake Drums - determining if resurfacing or replacement is needed

Typically you will need to replace rotors in pairs. Start with the front axle of your Toyota, as the fronts tend to wear out more quickly than the rears. Toyota rotors should usually be replaced by 70,000 miles but may wear out faster depending on your driving habits and a host of additional factors. Schedule an appointment online with Roseville Toyota to get a free multipoint inspection on your entire brake system.

Just like there are common brake issues, there are very noticeable signs that can indicate the presence of a brake problem. Warning signs include a shaky steering wheel, difficulty stopping, or a loud metal scraping sound. All of these symptoms are potential indicators that you need to check your Toyota brakes. However, there are many other, and less obvious, indicators that your Toyota brakes may be showing which you don’t want to ignore.

When do I need to get my brakes inspected? Schedule your appointment with Roseville Toyota if you experience any of the following:

• Your Check Engine or Brake Warning Light on your dashboard comes on
• Your car is wobbling or rocking when driving at higher speeds
• Your car doesn't stay straight when you brake, pulling in either direction

• Unusual vibrations, shaking or noises occur during braking
• The brake pedal presses farther to the floor than regular or seems light or loose, and even requires more force/pressure than usual

Rear brake components typically wear out well after the front brakes due to the level of stress required to slow a vehicle. Some rear brakes can last up to 50,0000 - 80,000 miles, but you should consult your Toyota service manual for recommended maintenance intervals for all components. Keep in mind you should always have your service department perform a multipoint inspection which includes inspecting your brake system.

The Toyota brake system includes the following key components:

• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Toyota rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
• Brake pads or shoes are the components that physically makes contact with your brake rotor and applies pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's exceptionally conclusive to keep Toyota brake pads fresh by replacing them as the undergo quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Toyota maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.
• Rotors also called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are many types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let Roseville Toyota find the best type of brake rotors for your Toyota
• Backing plate & return spring holds your Toyota braking system together so it can function properly.
• Brake Hoses carry brake fluid from the brake line to your Toyota brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be inspected continuously for cracks and substitute symptoms of deterioration. Check your Toyota maintenance schedule for more information on when your hoses should be replaced.
• Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to activate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to activate the parking brake of your Toyota.
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Toyota brake pedals to function the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road at exhaustive times.

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 also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also cause damages to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start warping them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate also protects the brake caliper from excessive 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 evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
