What is the Brake Caliper all about?

Most cars come with disc brakes in the front, and many models also have disc brakes in the rear. A caliper is part of the disc brake system. When you press the brake pedal, the brake fluid flows from the master cylinder to the calipers. Brake fluid then applies pressure on the piston inside the caliper, pushing the brake pads against the rotors to slow/stop your car. A car can have either 2 or 4 calipers. If the car has rotors on all four tires, then it will have four calipers. If the car has two rotors and two drums, then it will come with two calipers in front. The calipers can become contaminated, rusty, and start to leak brake fluid. Brake calipers absorb a lot of heat generated from the braking system. Over time, this heat can destroy or weaken the seals inside the calipers. Caliper servicing is usually done as part of a brake service job.

Keep in mind:

Work on brake calipers would likely include new brake pads because if the calipers have gone bad, it is very likely that the brake pads are worn out.

How it's done:

  • Remove and replace brake caliper and pads.
  • Inspect brake rotors.
  • Inspect brake line hoses.
  • Replace brake fluid.
  • Re-check brake system for fluid leaks.
  • Bleed the brake system.
  • Torque wheels to factory specifications.
  • Check brake system performance.

Our recommendation:

  • Keep up with the regular brake services as suggested by the manufacturer.
  • If you drive the car with thin brake pads or rotors, it will ruin the calipers.
  • Change the brake fluid on a regular basis (approx. every 30,000 miles).
  • If you notice a clear fluid on the tires or on your driveway and a change in the way the brake pedals feel (softer pedals), it is time to get the brake system inspected.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Brake Caliper?

  • Abnormal squealing noise from brakes.
  • When braking, the car will pull hard left or right.
  • Braking feels soft and spongy (brake pedals are easier to push than usual, going all the way to the floor when stepped on).
  • Brake fluid is leaking (clear fluid on the driveway or on the wheels).

How important is this service?

All services associated with proper function of your brakes are important. In addition to safety issues, ignoring small repairs can quickly lead to more serious (and more expensive) problems.

Buick Terraza V6-3.9L - Shift Selector Cable - Jacksonville, Florida
Mathew was prompt, nice, and walked me through how to get the shift cable through the firewall as that was my main issue. He quickly replaced the cord and identified areas of opportunities with the overall check point review.

Buick Terraza V6-3.5L - 75,000 Miles Maintenance Service - Orlando, Florida
I scheduled to have a simple tune-up done to our family van before traveling before the holidays and Your Mechanic sent us Art. Art was simply fantastic! He called me twice and let me know that he was on his way and then he showed up 5 minutes before he was scheduled to be at my house. Not only did he complete the inspection an maintenance quickly, but he was very informative, straight forward and answered all of my questions. Art then went above and beyond by fixing the broken arm on our driver's seat, the trunk door handle, and found the mystery leak in our car. My family and I truly appreciate this mechanic and I thoroughly enjoyed his services.
