When your car or truck needs new brakes, you may trust a mechanic to make the decision for you when it comes to the materials of the brakes, or may simply choose the cheapest option. However, it can be good to do a bit of research on the best type of material used for making braking parts, as not all brake pads are alike. Opting for a certain material can mean a longer lifespan and even better stopping for your car or truck.
Hi all! I'm Gary and I run a non-profit which teaches defensive driving skills. Of course, most of my students are in their teens, but I did have one gentleman who had received his license at sixty-two! We use an old speedway track to teach drivers what to do when obstacles are on the road and generally how to react in emergencies. I love what I do! Many companies see the benefit of this program and donate generously. My biggest expense by far is maintaining and repairing the cars we use in training. Not all students gain skills quickly! Even though I'm a driving instructor and not a mechanic, I now know an awful lot about car parts and where to find them. My students are often quite impressed by my broad knowledge base, so I thought I would share it with the world. Thank you and stay safe.
