How do I increase the performance of my car brakes?

Sep 20, 2007 by Mr. Maya3D | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I just bought a used car and noticed that the car's brakes are slow to respond. I took it to a mechanic and they said I needed new front brake pads and resurfacing, which the dealer covered.

But the brakes are still slow to respond after

Either you have air in your brake lines and the brake lines need to be properly bleed to remove all air.

Or you have a faulty brake master cylinder.
