ABS Service You Can Count On | Salem, OR

In order to appreciate the full impact of the ABS, it's important to understand exactly what it does. When older cars used to brake suddenly, the wheels locked up, making them skid on the road and causing drivers to lose control of their vehicles. The ABS system prevents all of that with a pulsing design meant to maintain wheel rotation during intense braking. This retains the traction of your vehicle and significantly reduces distances in most situations. Intended as a proactive safety measure designed to help prevent loss of control and assist in avoiding collisions, the ABS enhances traditional braking systems across the board. All four wheels are equipped with sensors that continuously monitor rotation, and when these sensors detect a wheel that stops rotating, they signal the ABS unit. Then the ABS applies pulsating brake pressure to that wheel, allowing it to gain traction once again.
