In this first episode of the America's Auto & Tire
Podcast, our mechanics explain why driving Colorado's
mountain passes — like Wolf Creek, Coal Bank, and Red
Mountain Pass — puts way more stress on your brakes
than regular flat-road driving.
What we cover:
- Why descending long grades overheats brake pads
- Signs your brakes need attention before a mountain trip
- How often Colorado drivers should get brake inspections
- What our technicians check during a brake service
Whether you're a daily commuter in Durango, planning a
ski trip near Montrose, or passing through Grand
Junction — this episode could save you from a breakdown
on the side of a mountain.
