What’s Included:
- Full brake system check
- Replacement of pads and shoes
- Caliper and hardware lubrication
- Rotor and/or drum machining (if needed)
- Comprehensive safety test drive
Symptoms of Brake Problems
Brake Light On
If your brake dashboard indicator light comes on, it’s time to schedule a brake inspection immediately.
Strange Noises
Brake pads include wear indicators designed to make noise when it’s time for replacement. If you hear squealing, squeaking, grinding, or any other metallic sounds while braking, schedule service right away — delaying repairs can lead to rotor and caliper damage and more expensive repairs.
Pulling
If your vehicle pulls to one side when braking, it could indicate uneven caliper pressure or worn components — which can cause unsafe handling and uneven wear.
Burning Smell
A burning smell after heavy braking or during normal driving could indicate overheated brakes or a stuck caliper. Pull over immediately and check your parking brake. If you see smoke near any wheel, your vehicle may be unsafe to drive.
Soft Brake Pedal
If your brake pedal feels soft or travels too far before engaging, your system may have a master cylinder issue or moisture contamination. Have it inspected immediately — this is a serious safety concern.
Leaking Fluid
If you frequently need to refill your brake fluid reservoir or see fluid leaks, your system may have a leak. Brake systems require proper fluid levels to function correctly — a full inspection will locate and repair the issue.
Vibration or Shaking
Vibration, shaking, or wobbling of the steering wheel during braking may indicate warped or uneven rotors — which can compromise braking performance and damage other components.
Brake System Inspections
If you notice any of these symptoms — or if your car simply isn’t stopping as well as it should — it’s time for a professional brake inspection.
