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 Sevy's Auto Repair at 302-328-0839 to order your disc brake parts in New Castle 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 Sevy's Auto Repair at 302-328-0839 today to order your drum brakes in New Castle.
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 Sevy's Auto Repair 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 302-328-0839 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 Sevy's Auto Repair to determine the best way to service your anti-lock braking system.

Having owned a business in a competitive market for over 30 years, you succeed or fail by your workmanship and your customer service. Sevy's gets an A+ from me! The engine in my 2004 Ford Explorer needed costly repairs, after considering a used engine, John recommended I consider a rebuilt engine from Jasper. With a 3 year or 100,000 mile warranty it was an easy decision. Sevy's mechanics are great! Had my Explorer back in a week. Had a minor problem, Sevy's took care of it immediately. Having worked on my own cars and motorcycles, I was impressed by the quality workmanship. Christy, John, and Tom are the best up front, and the service is great in the shop! I will recommend Sevy's to my friends and family. In fact I already have!
I had heard about Sevy's from a close friend who has told me literally for years that he would not let anybody touch his cars except Sevy's. In fact, several decades ago they even fixed his bike (true!) for free, something he has never forgotten. I have an old Lexus SUV that has been sorely neglected ever since I bought it, which was in 2005. I lost faith in the Lexus dealership when they told me once that to fix a tail light would cost over $2,000. I was shocked and they said, 'We have to drop the entire bumper." They did not know it but I knew a young kid who worked for them doing minor stuff. He laughed and fixed it in 5 minutes for me in the driveway of his house. I gave him $50. I watched him do it. So anyway, my old Lexus was on its last legs, conking out when driving, and I live in North Wilmington. I took it to the usual suspects to fix it, like Pep Boys and elsewhere, and they wanted nothing to do with it. They tried, and finally it was 'take it to the Dealer, that is the only thing you can do.' I figured I had finally blown my engine, among other things. I called my buddy and he said, of course, 'take it to Sevy's, they are honest and cheap and great' (he began bragging about them), so I had it towed from my driveway all the way down to New Castle. That was about 7 months ago, and my car is running tip top to this very moment. They fixed about a dozen things, gave me a long list of what they did etc., also a tremendous price for all they did. Honest, extremely competent. Friendly too, down to earth. My buddy was right of course! And I will of course continue to neglect it but now at least I know I have a great mechanic.
