THE BRAKE INDEX
Data Visualization · Infographic · Social Media
Behind every brake repair is a story about where and how we drive. Using Pep Boys’ first-party service data, The Brake Index turns patterns across 25 U.S. markets into a visual snapshot of the places putting the most stress on their brakes.
Built to inform drivers while giving the data a story worth exploring, the report brings together local insights, brake safety, and everyday driving behavior in one cohesive infographic.
AI notice: Used Adobe Firefly Gemini 3.1 (Nano Banana Pro 2) to generate brake rotor/pad inside moving wheel/tire image for each piece.
BREAKING DOWN THE DATA
The full report tells the story at a glance. Breaking it apart gave each insight room to stand on its own, turning the same data into focused moments drivers could explore one piece at a time.
