What are the Brake Shoes (Rear) all about?

Brake shoes are found only at the rear wheels in cars with a drum brake system. When you step on the brake pedal, brake shoes press against the brake drums to cause friction that slows down the car. Brake shoes usually last twice as long as brake pads.

Keep in mind:

Both brake shoes should be replaced at the same time.
Damaged brake drums and leaky wheel cylinders can sometimes cause damage to brake shoes, so those elements may need replacing as well.

How it's done:

Inspect brake shoes for contamination and thickness.
Replace brake shoes if faulty.
Adjust the brakes.
Inspect springs, backing plate, brake cylinders, brake drums, and emergency brake cable.
Lubricate the backing plate.
Perform basic safety inspection, including test drive.

Our recommendation:

It is a good idea to get the brake shoes inspected and measured once a year. To inspect brake shoes, the mechanic will usually have to take the tires off. If you are getting a brake service, and if the brake shoes are still good, just have them cleaned and adjusted. Get your brake system inspected if the brake warning light is on. If the shoes need replacing, we highly recommend ceramic brake shoes.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Brake Shoes (Rear)?

Noise from rear brakes.
Hand brake does not hold.
Car shakes upon braking.

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.

Mazda MX-5 Miata L4-2.0L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front, Rear) - Hollywood, Florida

The entire experience was very pleasant. Justin arrived promptly, and not only had the tools to do the job, had additional tools to be used in rarer cases. I had an issue with one of the parts on my car, and because he planned ahead and had the tools to fix that additional problem, the entire issue was resolved in moments. Justin was cordial and professional, and explained the issues to me in simple terms. Everything was done within the time limit. After my brakes were replaced, I noticed some somewhat common noises from them that extended a little longer than the break in period, and we re-met up a few minutes after he left and he took a second look at it to make sure everything was fine. He went over the top to help me out and I would absolutely recommend his service as well as the whole YourMechanic idea.
