What is the Emergency/Parking Brake Shoe all about?

The job of the parking brake shoes is to hold the car in place (prevent the car from rolling) when you use the parking or emergency brake. Parking brake shoes are installed on cars that have rear rotors (also known as rear disc brakes). Most new cars (made after 1999) have rotors at the rear wheels. In the older cars that have drums at the rear wheels, the brake shoes inside the rear drums act as the parking brake shoes.

Keep in mind:

Parking brake shoes only exist on vehicles with rear rotors.
The thickness of the brake shoe will let the mechanic know if it needs replacing.
Sometimes a parking brake shoe will have debris or contamination; if this is cleaned off, the shoe may not need replacing.

How it's done:

Inspect parking brake shoes by removing the rear rotors.
If the thickness is less than 30% of the original, install new shoes.
Clean and adjust if necessary.
Confirm operation of the hand brake.

Our recommendation:

Parking brake shoes are the most overlooked part of the brake system. A mechanic should inspect the parking brake shoes while performing a brake service (changing the rear brake pads or rotors). If the shoes are in good condition, the mechanic should clean and adjust the shoes. If you notice a change in the way parking brake lever feels (easier or harder to pull), or if the car rolls after putting the parking brakes, you should immediately get it inspected and replaced.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Emergency / Parking Brake Shoe?

Parking brake does not hold the car.
Parking brake does not work.
Parking brake does not release.

How important is this service?

When you engage the parking brake, the parking brake shoes hold the car in place by clamping against the rear brake rotors. These shoes assure that the wheels cannot turn, and your car cannot roll. As the parking brake shoes wear out, they become thinner, and cannot apply as much pressure to the rotors, making them much less effective and putting your car at risk of moving out of its parked position.

Chevrolet Traverse V6-3.6L - Car is not starting - Lumberton, New Jersey

I write this comment particularly to those thinking about using YourMechanic for the first time and have worries and fears about using an online mechanic. I cannot speak for all of the YourMechanic mechanics given this was my first and only time using YourMechanic or any online mechanic service. I had the same fears and worries you're having. All I can comment about is my own experience this one time and that experience was extremely good. Casime was on time and very knowledgeable and experienced with my vehicle. He diagnosed the problem with my car very quickly because his experience with my type of vehicle told him where to look first because he was so familiar with the symptoms I was experiencing. I would absolutely use Casime again.

Chevrolet Traverse V6-3.6L - Loud screeching noise when I start the car - Raleigh, North Carolina

All of the reviews are correct! Jerel was very professional and showed up early ready to go! He was very considerate of little things like making sure there was no spillage in my garage and backing the vehicle back when he finished. I am definitely going to him for all of our car needs. Thank you "your mechanic"!
