We possess the knowledge and tools to properly service your brakes and ensure they are in excellent shape. What can be frustrating is that there’s usually not a one-size-fits-all metric for service intervals. The numbers can range as widely as 20,000 to 60,000 miles for your brakes. Your owner’s manual lays out the intervals you need to come in. However, different factors can affect the frequency and force of stops, late braking, vehicle load, and neglect. If you spend more time in stop-and-go traffic, ride your brakes, make lots of shortstops, or skip maintenance, you’ll have to maintain or replace your brakes more often. All brakes require regular brake pad replacement and brake fluid flushes. If air gets into the brake lines, a rarer occurrence, your brakes will need to be bled. We can also perform basic brake inspections and resurface the rotors if they have become uneven. Stay on schedule with your brake maintenance, and come in for brake repair when you suspect there may be an issue, and you’ll be well on your way every time you take the wheel.

Stay Ahead of Brake Problems
It’s easy to follow the brake maintenance intervals listed in your owner’s manual. Pay attention to how your brakes function and take the proper precautions when you hear or feel a difference. If it takes longer than usual to come to a stop, for example, there is likely an issue that warrants expert brake repair. Another common sign is if your brake pedal feels “spongy” when you press down on it. This is often indicative of air in the brake lines. Do you feel a vibration when you engage the brake pedal? Your brake rotors may be warped. If your vehicle pulls as you brake, your brake pads may be worn unevenly or debris in your brake fluid. Additional signs include a squeaking sound, which points to worn brake pads, grinding, poor response, or if you have to press down further to come to a full stop. Any one of these symptoms is cause for concern, and you should address it promptly here at our auto repair shop. When you visit for brake repair, we’ll inspect your vehicle’s wheel alignment, balance, and tires to ensure the problem hasn’t affected these components and vice versa.
