What is a brake inspection?

Brake inspections help evaluate your brake pads and overall brake systems performance. Checking for signs of trouble like fluid leaks or damage. It’s important to have your brakes inspected at least every six months during your oil change or any other routine service intervals to ensure your safety and your Porsche’s overall performance. During the inspection we will also be checking your Porsche’s anti‐lock brake sensors as well as testing your brake hardware, making any necessary adjustments to ensure your brake systems’ reliability.

Understanding Brake Components

During your brake testing and inspection, we’ll rigorously check your entire brake system. This includes everything from your rotors and pads to your calipers and more! Learn more about the vital role each brake component plays in keeping you safe.

Rotors and Pads
Rotors are steel discs and hubs that the brake pads sit on while the pads are metal backing pads. Together these components work to make your wheels stop rotating when you press on your Porsche’s brake pedal.

Calipers
Brake calipers are an essential part of your Porsche’s hydraulic brake system, sitting over the brake rotor holding the brake pads. When the brakes are applied, the hydraulic piston housed in the caliper extends and squeezes the brake pads together against the brake rotor which slows or stops your Porsche.

Master Cylinder
The master cylinder in your Porsche creates hydraulic pressure from the reservoir to the brake caliper at the wheel.

Brake Lines
Brake lines are hoses made of braided steel or rubber that are found throughout your Porsche and connect to the master cylinder and each individual brake caliper.

Wear Indicator
Brake wear indicators are purposely installed to make loud squeaking noises when your brake pads are running low due to the friction between the metal material and your brake pads.
