An anti-lock braking system (ABS, from German: Antiblockiersystem) is a safety system that allows the wheels on a motor vehicle to continue interacting tractively with the road surface as directed by driver steering inputs while braking, preventing the wheels from locking up (that is, ceasing rotation) and therefore avoiding skidding.

An ABS generally offers improved vehicle control and decreases stopping distances on dry and slippery surfaces for many drivers; however, on loose surfaces like gravel or snow-covered pavement, an ABS can significantly increase braking distance, although still improving vehicle control.[1]

Since initial widespread use in production cars, anti-lock braking systems have evolved considerably. Recent versions not only prevent wheel lock under braking, but also electronically control the front-to-rear brake bias. This function, depending on its specific capabilities and implementation, is known as electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), traction control system, emergency brake assist, or electronic stability control (ESC).

Client Testimonial

While returning from my cottage, two Brake warning lights came on and the brakes became very spongy. I immediately drove to Lentz as they had replaced the brakes a year ago. Brandon Posey and his crew got me right in, diagnosed the problem, gave me an estimate to fix the problem, and got right to work to fix it. The job was done when promised and for the estimated price which is very appreciated. Good job Brandon and crew.
