Brake Service

Types of Brake Service

Although you might typically think of brake pads and rotors as the main part of your brakes, this system is actually made up of numerous components. Many of these parts may wear out over time and need to be replaced. Brake services we offer include the following:

• Brake inspection: We perform a thorough inspection of your brake system and diagnose any current issues while checking for future problems.

• Brake pad replacement: When the brake pads get too thin, we replace them.

• Brake rotor service: If the brake pads weren't replaced soon enough, they may cause damage to the brake rotors, which will require replacement.

• Brake shoe replacement: Shoes act as brake pads on drum brakes.

• Brake drum service: Drums act as rotors for a drum brake system.

• Brake fluid service: We flush out your brake system and replace it with clean brake fluid and repair any leaks.

• Anti-lock brake system service: We can diagnose any issues with your ABS from sensors to the computer module and make necessary repairs.

• Brake repair: We inspect and replace any worn parts on your brake system as needed.

How to Tell When You Need Brake Service

You get used to how your brakes feel when you press on them. If there are any changes, it may indicate that your brakes need service. Here are some signs that can indicate issues with your brakes:

• You may have a dashboard light that comes on and stays lit, such as the BRAKE or ABS light or possibly the Check Engine light.

• Brake fluid may leak out onto the ground under your vehicle.

• Your brakes may feel different, such as requiring you to press down further or taking a longer time to stop the vehicle.

• You may hear a squealing or grinding noise when you press on the brake pedal.

• When you press on the brake pedal, the vehicle may vibrate or shake.

• Your brakes may feel soft when you press on the pedal or be spongy.

• Your brakes may feel stiff when you press on the pedal.

• As you press on the brake pedal, the vehicle may pull to one side.

• The engine may misfire, telling you the power brake booster is failing.
