Brake systems are safety-critical. Standard service offerings typically include:
1. Brake Pad Replacement
Most common service
Pads wear down over time due to friction
Symptoms: squeaking, grinding, reduced stopping power
2. Rotor (Disc) Resurfacing or Replacement
Rotors can warp or wear unevenly
Resurfacing smooths the surface; replacement is required if it is too thin
Symptoms: vibration when braking
3. Brake Caliper Repair or Replacement
Calipers press pads against rotors
Can seize or leak over time
Symptoms: pulling to one side, uneven wear
4. Brake Fluid Flush & Replacement
Brake fluid absorbs moisture → reduces braking efficiency
Recommended every 2–3 years
Symptoms: soft or spongy brake pedal
5. Brake Line Inspection / Repair
Ensures hydraulic pressure is maintained
Cracked or leaking lines are a serious hazard
⚠️ Warning Signs You Need Brake Service
High-pitched squealing or grinding noise
Steering wheel vibration when braking
The brake pedal feels soft or goes to the floor
The car pulls left/right when stopping
Dashboard brake warning light
