Precision Fleet Brakes is a unique company because it utilizes cryogenic technology to treat brake pads and rotors through the use of very low temperatures. Cryogenically processed brake components have an extended life of up to four times longer than original equipment, resulting in increased vehicle uptime and cost savings. They can take the punishment of brutal braking and environmental wear to keep vehicles on the road longer between brake jobs.
