1. Disc Brakes:
Disc brakes are the most common brake type in use today. They consist of a brake rotor that is attached directly to the wheel. Using hydraulic pressure, the master cylinder causes a caliper holding your brake pads to close on either side of the rotor, causing the car or truck to slow or stop. Call Jake's Auto Services Inc. at 419-332-3436 to order your disc brake parts in Fremont today.
2. Drum Brakes:
Drum brakes use friction between a drum attached and two brake shoes to cause your car to slow and stop. When you press your brake pedal, hydraulic pressure presses the brake shoes against the brake drum. Call Jake's Auto Services Inc. at 419-332-3436 today to order your drum brakes in Fremont.
Do I have Disc Brakes Or Drum Brakes?
In the early '70s, car manufacturers switched from drum to disc brakes for the front brakes only because in high-performance cars the stopping power is contained mostly in the front wheels. Today, many manufacturers have adopted four-wheel disc brakes on many of their high performance and economy car models. However, there are still some new cars that utilize drum brakes for the rear of the car to lower production costs.
3. Emergency Brakes
Emergency brakes, sometimes called parking brakes, work independently of your car's braking system. Most emergency brakes are powered by cables which apply pressure to the wheels to keep them from rolling. They are generally used to keep a vehicle stationary while parked. Your emergency brake may be a stick lever between the driver and passenger, a third pedal, a push-button or handle near the steering column. Remember, if you live in an area where you park on a steep hill you cannot rely upon simply putting your car in "park." At Jake's Auto Services Inc. we know using and servicing your emergency brake is important to prevent your car from rolling away and damaging your car, other property or injuring bystanders. Call us today at 419-332-3436 for emergency brake parts.
4. Anti-Lock Brakes
Anti-lock brakes are disc brakes with an antilock braking system (ABS). They are found on newer cars and trucks and are most useful when driving on wet and slippery roads. If you apply your brakes suddenly the antilock braking system will prevent your car's wheels from skidding. Talk to us at Jake's Auto Services Inc. to determine the best way to service your anti-lock braking system.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I called around 4 pm on a Friday because my normal mechanic had a scheduling conflict and couldn't repair my breaks. I was very worried that my car was not safe to drive as I had let the issue go for so long. The office manager was happy to have me bring the car in that night and take a look at the issue to see if I would be okay to drive. They scheduled my car in for Tuesday, and fixed as promised for the price quoted. I had my normal mechanic double check the prices listed on the invoice and everything was in order. Overall I would use this shop again. As a female who knows very little about mechanics, I felt confident that Jake's auto service was acting in my best interest. Thanks guys!!
I'm not much of a reviewer, the last thing I want to do is spend more time typing in front of a computer after work, but after the service I received from Jake's I feel obligated to write a review. I know I can trust the knowledge and expertise at Jake's (since he's worked on my cars previously) and if their is a problem, they will own it and make it right.
