- Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement - Rotor inspections provide the wear and condition details needed for resurfacing or replacement service. Resurfacing removes minor depreciation and restores disc flatness for maximum friction and quick stopping. Rotors with significantly deep grooving or any degree of warping require replacement to restore braking integrity and safety at specifications.
- Component Repairs - Other non-routine brake services as needed for worn/damaged components, including calipers, lines, hardware, hoses, and master cylinders.
Signs of Brake Problems
Many warning signs indicate brake problems:
- Brake Warning light - this is a bright red light on the dashboard. If this light is on, do NOT drive your car. Call for service to determine the cause of the problem.
- Screeching or squealing when you step on the pedal.
- Grinding noises when brakes are applied can indicate badly worn brakes.
- Vehicle requires more distance or time to stop.
- The car pulls to one side when brakes are applied.
- Puddles of brake fluid under the wheels.
Modern Brake Systems Require Experts
The front brakes handle most of the braking pressure with the engine’s weight on the front axle, and disc brakes function more effectively under heavy use, while drums are suitable for the rear brakes. ABS is another feature of modern braking systems that promotes braking and safety by using computer-controlled sensors to prevent locking on slippery surfaces. Choosing us for brake system maintenance ensures top-quality service from experts who understand hydraulic brakes and their components inside and out.
When do Brakes Normally Need Service?
Even if there are no immediate signs of a problem, brakes do wear out over time. The interval for service depends on your driving style, but here are some general rules. Pads and shoes require inspections with measurements to know when replacement is necessary. Brake discs should be inspected and resurfaced every time pads and shoes are replaced for peak braking power. A complete brake system flush with new fluid should be done every two years or 30,000 miles. Your owner’s manual may have different intervals, so check this first.
