Brake Repair
We know quality brake repair service is important to you, we offer free inspection. We also offer maintenance, and replacement your vehicle's braking system parts. Our stellar service is performed to ensure the vehicle can stop safely and efficiently and to address issues that compromise braking performance.
Inspection and diagnosis
Initial road test: A mechanic will drive the vehicle to evaluate braking performance, checking for issues like pulling, pulsating, or longer stopping distances. Full system inspection: Technicians visually inspect all components, including brake pads, shoes, rotors, calipers, brake fluid, and brake lines, for signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Measurement: The thickness of the brake pads and rotors is measured to determine if they are within acceptable wear limits.
Common repairs and replacements
Brake pad replacement: Worn-out brake pads are replaced with new ones to restore friction for effective stopping. Rotor service: Depending on their condition, rotors are either resurfaced (machined to a smooth finish) or replaced to ensure proper pad contact. Brake fluid flush: The old brake fluid, which can absorb moisture and become less effective over time, is flushed out and replaced with fresh fluid. Component replacement: If calipers, brake hoses, or the master cylinder are faulty, they may need to be replaced as part of a more extensive repair. Hardware and lubrication: For drum brakes, worn hardware like clips and springs are replaced, and all brake components are cleaned and lubricated to prevent sticking. antilock brake or (ABS) service and repair is also available.
Final quality assurance
Post-repair road test: After the service is complete, the vehicle is road-tested again to confirm that the repairs have restored the braking system to optimal performance. This is verified by a thermal test of the friction surfaces to insure even brake temperatures.
Customer consultation: The technician explains the work performed and may show the old parts to the customer by request.
