Proper car maintenance, including regular brake service, is critical to safe driving. The brake system is probably the most important system in your vehicle. Most modern cars have disc brakes on the front wheels and drums on the back, while older or smaller vehicles often have all drum systems, and some expensive or high-performance cars have discs on all four wheels.
