When you’re ready to get on the road, it’s easy to just say, “Let’s go!” Even though your focus is on the trip or task at hand, it’s more important to be able to reliably say, “Let’s stop!” In reality, nothing is more important than brake repair.

Common Brake Repairs

First, never take chances with your life and that of other motorists if you think your vehicle has a braking problem. If your brakes are gone, make the wise decision to call for a tow. Only drive to reach our facility if it’s safe to do so. Second, we will, of course, need to inspect your braking system to accurately identify the source of the trouble. However, we’re glad to tell you about some of the more common brake repairs our automotive technicians make. For example, brake pads are tough. Most are made of metal (though some more expensive, upgraded models are ceramic), but they aren’t made to last forever. They’re indeed consumable components that eventually need replacing. If you hear squealing as you apply brakes, have us check your brake pads. Also, beware of a soft or spongy feeling pedal. This could be due to a lack of brake fluid because of a cracked master cylinder. Along that same vein of thought, watch for any kind of braking system leak (from the brake lines, etc.). Your brakes depend upon hydraulic force to work, so a loss of fluid is serious. A burning odor can point to a problem such as a stuck brake caliper. Increasing longer stopping distances should also prompt a service visit, too.
