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 A & A Tire and Auto Service at 317-925-5330 to order your disc brake parts in Indianapolis 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 A & A Tire and Auto Service at 317-925-5330 today to order your drum brakes in Indianapolis.
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 A & A Tire and Auto Service 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 317-925-5330 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 A & A Tire and Auto Service to determine the best way to service your anti-lock braking system.

What Our Customers Are Saying
This repair shop went out of their way to try and fix my car. When they realized I have a problem that needs a dealer part they were upfront and did not charge me anything, even though this took time for him to diagnose. He even got the top up on my car so it wouldn't get wet. I will be back to this shop for any repairs I need in the future.
I haven't even retried my vehicle, which will be done today, but I already know the job will be A+. I've been bringing our fleet to John for a couple years now and I can say he's always my first choice for auto repair. I love his prices they are fair, his work is always right, and how he treats everyone the same. I always feel welcomed. What I love most is he's honest. If he can't do it, he'll tell me up front and often recommend who can. Thanks so much John. I truly appreciate your services.
Once again John at A & A comes through for me and my car. Thank you! We like to keep our car nice and running well. He was able to replace my tire and have me back out running real quick. Support our locally high quality businesses like A & A!
I brought my BMW in because the front end was shaking violently at higher speeds. John hooked me up with a new control arm and was very pleasant and professional. The price was good and he got me in and out in the same day. Being from California I was not sure if I would get the 2nd class treatment. No sir, not at this fine establishment! I will be back! Oh also, no more front end shake. They know what they are doing. He even showed me the bad part....it was on life support.
