Stop (and Go!) Safely with Chestnut Automotive & Towing.

It’s common knowledge that the braking system is one of the most important parts of your vehicle. The ability to stop your car in a safe and timely manner can mean the difference between a normal afternoon drive and serious danger. Think of it like this: even your local, daily commute can see you frequently stopping at lights, or making way for pedestrians. Even the simplest of drives require the use of effective brakes. When your brakes are not performing as they should, it’s wise to have them evaluated by a team or reputable, passionate auto repair professionals. (That’s us!)

Your braking system, made up of highly engineered components that work hard to stop your vehicle by transforming kinetic energy into thermal energy. These key components, including your vehicle's brake pads, brake shoes, and calipers, work together as a team to allow for fast, efficient braking.
