Our Brake System Services

Full Brake System Inspection
If you're hearing squealing noises, experiencing poor braking performance, or feel vibrations when you press the brake pedal, it’s time for a complete brake system inspection. We examine not only the brake pads and rotors but also other components like the brake lines, calipers, and fluid levels to ensure everything is working properly.

Rotor Inspection
Brake rotors experience wear from the constant friction of braking. Uneven wear can lead to vibrations or noise while braking. Our technicians inspect your rotors for signs of damage or wear. If your rotors are too damaged or worn, we’ll recommend a full rotor replacement.

Signs You Need Brake System Service

• Squeaking or squealing noise: A high-pitched noise when braking indicates your brake pads may be worn out and need replacement.
• Vibrations or pulsations: If you feel vibrations or pulsing when you press the brake pedal, it could be a sign of warped or damaged rotors.
• Grinding noise: A grinding sound when braking may suggest that the brake pads have worn down to the metal and are damaging the rotors.
• Reduced braking performance: If it takes longer to stop your vehicle, or you feel the pedal is soft or spongy, your brake pads or fluid may need attention.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How Often Should I Replace Brake Pads & Rotors?

The lifespan of brake pads typically ranges from 30,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and the type of vehicle. Rotors can last longer but should be inspected regularly for signs of wear or damage.

How does a brake system work?

When you press the brake pedal, it activates the brake master cylinder, which sends brake fluid through the brake lines to the calipers (or wheel cylinders in drum brakes). The calipers then apply pressure to the brake pads, which clamp down on the rotors or drums. This friction slows the vehicle down and eventually brings it to a stop.

Can a worn brake system cause accidents?

Yes, a worn or malfunctioning brake system can significantly reduce your vehicle's ability to stop effectively, increasing the risk of accidents. This is why regular brake inspections and maintenance are critical to ensure your safety and the safety of others on the road.
