The process of routinely servicing (or adjusting) both front and rear braking systems PLUS an inspection of your entire braking system. The calipers (disk application) and wheel cylinders (drum application) are the mechanical components that contain the hydraulic system that compresses the pads/shoes to the rotor/drum that causes your vehicle to stop. It is the free movement of these components that needs to be maintained (more frequently than pad/shoe replacement) by removal, cleaning, lubrication and adjustment.

This service is necessary in order to ensure that your braking system is operating sufficiently to stop your vehicle and that the hydraulic components are applying an even distribution of pressure on the friction components to prevent premature wearing.
