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 Automotive Center of Mandeville at 985-778-0518 to order your disc brake parts in Mandeville 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 Automotive Center of Mandeville at 985-778-0518 today to order your drum brakes in Mandeville.
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 Automotive Center of Mandeville 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 985-778-0518 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 Automotive Center of Mandeville to determine the best way to service your anti-lock braking system.

Great experience this week working with Jason. We called on Monday and explained our issue, dropping the car off that morning following our conversation. He provided a repair estimate by Monday afternoon and completed the repairs by Friday. They even did us a huge favor on a separate issue with the car that we had not discussed - which to me, reflects a desire to do the right thing for the customer, something not enough businesses do these days! Could not recommend Automotive Center of Mandeville enough for any auto repair needs.
Mandeville, LA
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. 1st visit was to customize an old truck for my son with a lift, wheels, stepbar and truck bed. They provided honest thoughtful advice, and it turned out great, so I knew I’d be back. Since then, they’ve done the AC, audio and mechanical repairs and now I won’t go anywhere else, even for routine maintenance. Always responsive, transparent and fairly priced. Highly recommended
