Why service brakes early
Catching brake wear early usually means lower cost and shorter time in the shop. Waiting can damage rotors, calipers, or lines and turn a simple job into a big one.
FAQs
How long does a brake job take? Time depends on what we find and parts availability. After we inspect your car, we’ll give you a clear estimate and timeline.
Do you resurface rotors or always replace them? We measure thickness/runout and follow specs. If resurfacing is safe and makes sense, we’ll recommend it; otherwise we’ll quote new rotors.
My pedal is soft. Is it safe to drive? A soft pedal can mean fluid leak, air in the system, or failing components. It’s best to have it checked and avoid driving if braking feels unsafe.
Do you work on ABS and drum brakes? Yes—ABS, disc, and drum systems.
Can I wait at the shop? Ask when you schedule—we’ll let you know the timing for your vehicle and service.
After the repair
We’ll road-test your car, torque wheels, and go over break-in tips for new pads/rotors. You’ll leave knowing what we did and how to keep things quiet and smooth.
