The Meineke Car Care Center on Second Street in New Freedom will repair your brakes when they don't stop your car.
You were headed to Palmieri Activities Center for the 10-miler this morning when you put your foot on the brake pedal and nothing much happened. Your car eventually stopped but you had a heart-stopping few moments. At first you thought the street was icy. But that wasn't it. Your brakes simply did not work.
Cartreatments.com explains: "If you live in climates where cold weather is common, then it could cause problems for your brakes. Now mechanically speaking, cold temperatures don’t actually ruin your vehicle’s brakes. But what they can do is cause your brake rotors and pads to wear out faster.
"The reason for this has to do with the slippery conditions of the roads when there is ice, snow or slush on them. When a vehicle’s tires move over a slippery road, it will cause its brakes to work less effectively."
Cartreatments.com adds, "Aggressive driving in these conditions will eventually cause your brake pads to form cracks in them. Some brake pad materials are more prone to cracks than others. Once these cracks form, dirt, water, and cold air from the outside will get into the cracks of your brake pads.
"Then these elements will find their way to your brake lines and ultimately impair the brakes. The cold air will end up freezing the brake lines which will create noticeable noises like grinding and squeaking after you step on the brake pedal."
The solution - watchfulness and testing to catch brake problems early and brake pad replacement.
