SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Oct. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Did you
experience a summer full of rough weather and difficult driving
conditions? Even the most routine driving situations will
take a toll on vehicles, so now is the time to make sure that your
car is road-worthy for the changing weather conditions that lie
ahead. October is Fall Car Care Month, and Wagner®
Brake wants drivers to be educated about the importance of
maintaining all aspects of their vehicle's braking systems.
The hot and harsh driving conditions that were seen in many
areas of the country during the summer months can cause major
damage to a vehicle's brake pads and rotors. If a car begins
to experience reduced stopping power or excess noise coming from
the brake or rotor, or if the brake pedal feels low or spongy, it
may be time for a brake inspection and possible repair.
Wagner offers a comprehensive set of braking solutions designed for
the demands of your vehicle, to get you back on the road quickly
and safely.
Featuring a wide range of brake pads, from its innovative Wagner
OEX product line offering premium braking performance,
to its Wagner QS™ line, compatible with 99% of vehicles in
operation, Wagner products are engineered for peak braking
performance. Wagner OEX, for example, offers
better corrosion resistance and fitment over paint and powder
coatings, which increases pad life and aids in
noise-reduction. Other products are specifically engineered
to decrease vibration and increase performance. All
formulations are either low copper or meet 2025 requirements for
zero copper.
Wagner also offers premium replacement brake rotors featuring
E-Shield® protective coating technology, designed to
help prevent corrosion. E-Shield rotors have patented,
application-specific vane configurations, providing superior
cooling for exceptional braking performance and reduced noise,
vibration and harshness.
"Braking components are one of the most important safety systems
on a vehicle, and neglecting them can lead to hazardous situations
and tenuous driving conditions," said Nicholas Thomas, product manager, Braking.
"As temperatures fall and the chance of inclement weather
increases, consumers should have their braking systems checked for
any damage or potential stopping issues before it jeopardizes
vehicle integrity and passenger safety. Wagner is here to
help; we offer a wide-range of premium brake pads and rotors to
assist customers in getting quality braking performance from their
cars."
