Types of Brake Service

Brake service is an overarching term that includes several different tasks with your brake system. In general, it includes inspecting this system and making any repairs or replacing worn parts. Services we offer for your brake system include the following:

  • Brake inspection: Our service technicians inspect all components of the brake system that are visible, providing a diagnosis of any issues that may arise.
  • Brake pad replacement: The brake pads are responsible for helping your vehicle come to a stop. When the material wears down, the brake pads need to be replaced.
  • Brake rotor service: The brake pads grip the rotors to cause the wheels to stop. When the brake pads wear down, they can cause grooves in the surface of the rotors. Our technicians may be able to file down those grooves. If not, the rotors will need to be replaced.
  • Brake shoe replacement: Brake shoes act as brake paths on vehicles with drum brakes and require similar services.
  • Brake drum service: The drums replace rotors on a drum system and require similar services.
  • Brake fluid flush: Brake fluid is necessary to create hydraulic pressure on the brake lines. We can fill the brake reservoir when the fluid gets too low or flush it out to clean the system.
  • Antilock brake service: We can diagnose problems you may have with your ABS, which can include replacing sensors or repairing the computer module.
  • Brake repair: Our technicians will repair any other brake components as needed.
