Offered Brake Services:
- Brake Inspections - Brake system service is a critical part of routine maintenance. The best place to start is with a brake inspection that looks for any problems, wear and tear, or damage to your brakes. The service includes replacing rotors, pads, and wheel bearings as required. We will inspect both your front and rear brake pads and replace them as necessary.
Learn More - Brake Fluid Exchange - We will also see if you need a brake fluid exchange. Generally speaking, your brakes won't work without brake fluid. The fluid is responsible for pushing the pads onto the rotors. Without fluid, you can't come to a stop. Over time, your brake fluid becomes contaminated and needs to be exchanged with fresh fluid to keep your brakes in working order.
Learn More - Brake Pad Replacement - Brake pads create friction when you come to a stop. Over time, this causes wear and tear. What's the difference between the front and rear brake pads? It all comes down to the amount of heat generated by the kinetic energy produced by stopping. Your front breaks shoulder the brunt of your stopping power and therefore absorb more heat. This means your front brake pads will wear out before your back brake pads.

- Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement - The brake rotors may become glazed or warped well before they wear out; we can resurface the rotors, smoothing their surface to help you avoid paying for entirely new parts before it's necessary.
Learn More - Caliper Service - The brake calipers squeeze together to push the brake pads against the brake rotors, and they will regularly need to be cleaned, lubricated, and inspected to ensure that they are providing the necessary precision.
