What is the Emergency/Parking Brake Cable all about?

The parking brake cable is a thin, steel cable that connects the parking brake lever to the parking brake shoes. It is located underneath the car. When you pull the lever, this cable enables the parking brake shoes to press against the rotor or the drum, creating the friction that keeps the car from rolling. It is just like using the brake pedal, but in this case, you are using the parking brake cable instead of brake fluids to apply the pressure. Over time the cable can rust and break. If the parking brake cable is broken, the car will roll even when the parking brake has been engaged.

Keep in mind:

The brake drums or pads often need to be removed to access the emergency brake cable. During this time, the drums and pads should be inspected to see if they also need to be replaced.

How it's done:

  • Remove and replace parking brake cable.
  • Adjust parking brake.
  • Test parking brake.

Our recommendation:

Always apply the parking brake when the car is parked. This will keep the parking brake adjusted properly. Your mechanic should inspect the parking brake cable during every brake service. They should also periodically spray rust penetrant chemical on the cable to prevent rust from building up.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Emergency/Parking Brake Cable?

  • Parking brake does not hold car.
  • Parking brake does not release.
  • Parking brake warning light is on.

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.

Vic got to the appointment at the time he said and pointed out of some minor issues he recommended I take care of in the future. Very knowledgeable and was able to fix my oil pan leak in one visit.

Kia Forte Koup L4-2.0L - Spark Plugs - Duluth, Georgia
First of all, I'm a teacher so all the regular times that regular mechanic shops would be open don't always work for me and I didn't want to take off work because then I would have to find a substitute this close to testing and the end of the year. So, the fact that this service is even available is a LITERAL GOD SEND. I mean Your Mechanic even has weekend times (SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS!!!!). Then, as if I wasn't already impressed enough, they sent me Jerry. He came early and finished SUPER fast, he was knowledgeable and he didn't dismiss my theories on the diagnosis of my car, like some other mechanics. It's nice to feel heard. He was also super friendly and professional, even recommended some other services my car will need soon. Thank you so much for getting me back on the road! SO I can finish out the school year STRONG!! I'm going to tell ALL of my teacher friends about this service because we all have the same need!
