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 Classic Coach Auto Body and Restorations at 910-690-4799 to order your disc brake parts in West End 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 Classic Coach Auto Body and Restorations at 910-690-4799 today to order your drum brakes in West End.
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 Classic Coach Auto Body and Restorations 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 910-690-4799 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 Classic Coach Auto Body and Restorations to determine the best way to service your anti-lock braking system.

As part of the experience, Sam showed me around the shop and said he values customer relations, quality work, and strives for excellence above all else. His goal he says is to satisfy every single customer...every time. True to his word, Sam delivered outstanding results and exceeded all of my expectations. I'm very satisfied.

Fast and CourteousI've gone to Sam Jordan a couple of times for work on a Nissan Pathfinder and my 1988 Mercedes 560sl. Each time Sam did outstanding work at a very fair price.
