Brake Maintenance Service.

**COMPREHENSIVE BRAKE SERVICE IN YOUR COMMUNITY**

Your brakes are one of the most essential safety components of your vehicle. They allow you to stop your car or truck quickly and effectively, ensuring you can easily pause at traffic signals and maneuver turns without risking a collision with the vehicle in front. However, compromised brakes can create dangerous situations.

**Warning Signs & Common Brake Problems:** 

Several warning signs may indicate that your brakes need attention, such as: 

- A SQUEALING OR SQUEAKING SOUND 

- GRINDING NOISE WHEN COMING TO A STOP 

- VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING COLUMN 

- A SPONGY FEELING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL 

- YOUR VEHICLE PULLS TO ONE SIDE WHEN BRAKING 

- YOUR CAR SHIMMERS OR VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEED 

Brake issues often stem from worn brake pads or rotors. When you engage the brakes, your brake pads create friction to slow down your vehicle, while the rotors dissipate heat to avoid overheating. Both parts are vital for effective braking. Fortunately, if either component is damaged, we can replace it.

Brake concerns can also arise from low brake fluid levels. This fluid is critical for translating the pressure you apply to the brake pedal into the force needed to decelerate or halt your vehicle. Additionally, it safeguards internal metal components against corrosion.

**How We Can Help** 

As your reliable automotive partners, we are dedicated to offering complete brake services, beginning with a thorough inspection before diagnosing and addressing any issues.

During our brake inspection, we evaluate the following: 

- BRAKE PAD THICKNESS 

- CALIPERS 

- BRAKE/HYDRAULIC FLUID (LEVEL AND CONDITION) 

- BRAKE HOSES—WHICH OFTEN WEAR OUT AND NEED REGULAR REVIEW 

- BRAKE HARDWARE 

- ROTOR WEAR 

When servicing your vehicle, we will always provide you with a transparent summary of necessary repairs, detailing parts and labor costs. The decisions regarding your vehicle's maintenance rest entirely with you, and we will never proceed without your consent.

**Driving Habits and Preventative Maintenance** 

You can extend the lifespan of your brakes—both pads and rotors—through regular maintenance and mindful driving habits. Be sure to address any warning signs immediately and replace brake fluid as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer. To minimize wear and tear, try to avoid heavy stop-and-go traffic and lighten your vehicle's load.
