1. Disc Brakes:
Disc brakes are the most common brake type in use today. They consist of a brake rotor that is attached directly to the wheel. Using hydraulic pressure, the master cylinder causes a caliper holding your brake pads to close on either side of the rotor, causing the car or truck to slow or stop. Call Hud's Auto Service at 806-866-9898 to order your disc brake parts in Lubbock today.
2. Drum Brakes:
Drum brakes use friction between a drum attached and two brake shoes to cause your car to slow and stop. When you press your brake pedal, hydraulic pressure presses the brake shoes against the brake drum. Call Hud's Auto Service at 806-866-9898 today to order your drum brakes in Lubbock.
Do I have Disc Brakes Or Drum Brakes?
In the early '70s, car manufacturers switched from drum to disc brakes for the front brakes only because in high-performance cars the stopping power is contained mostly in the front wheels. Today, many manufacturers have adopted four-wheel disc brakes on many of their high performance and economy car models. However, there are still some new cars that utilize drum brakes for the rear of the car to lower production costs.
3. Emergency Brakes
Emergency brakes, sometimes called parking brakes, work independently of your car's braking system. Most emergency brakes are powered by cables which apply pressure to the wheels to keep them from rolling. They are generally used to keep a vehicle stationary while parked. Your emergency brake may be a stick lever between the driver and passenger, a third pedal, a push-button or handle near the steering column. Remember, if you live in an area where you park on a steep hill you cannot rely upon simply putting your car in "park." At Hud's Auto Service we know using and servicing your emergency brake is important to prevent your car from rolling away and damaging your car, other property or injuring bystanders. Call us today at 806-866-9898 for emergency brake parts.
4. Anti-Lock Brakes
Anti-lock brakes are disc brakes with an antilock braking system (ABS). They are found on newer cars and trucks and are most useful when driving on wet and slippery roads. If you apply your brakes suddenly the antilock braking system will prevent your car's wheels from skidding. Talk to us at Hud's Auto Service to determine the best way to service your anti-lock braking system.

What Our Customers Are Saying
My company had a vehicle worked on at Hud's and the experience was great! Robert went right to work when i called about a quote and then followed it up with timely and quality service once the vehicle was dropped. always kept me updated and made sure my needs were met. will definitely send my friends and family your way and will be using you in the future.
Took my vehicle as a walk in and had it done very quickly. My vehicle is now running better than ever at half the price the other places would charge me!
We have been back in Lubbock just over 2 years. When we asked for a good reputable shop, Huds came highly recommended! Since we have been back, we have had my Jeep in a few times now. (I know Just Empty Every Pocket) From the first hello when you call to schedule-to the time of pick up- their customer service has been top notch and will keep us coming back! Thank you to every team member at Huds for your warm welcomes, friendly smiles, honesty, and helping me NOT empty every pocket!

Honest and fair. That's all you can ask for in an auto shop these days. And it's hard to find someone you can trust. Well, Hud's has proven themselves as a trustworthy business to me. They don't try to upsale or mislead you, and their prices are always fair. As an electrician, I know labor costs money. They do a good job labor wise and typically pretty quick too. They also stand by their warranty for any type of work done. They have taken care of my daughters car multiple times (it's an old car) and have always done a good job. I would definitely recommend Hud's for any type of auto work.
