Brake services
From a quick pad change to a full system repair.
Pads and rotors
Quality pads and rotors, fitted and bedded in for quiet, even stops.
Calipers and hardware
Seized or leaking calipers, slides and clips replaced so the pads wear evenly.
Brake lines and hoses
Rusted lines and cracked hoses replaced before they fail.
Brake fluid service
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which cuts braking performance. Brembo suggests changing it every 2 to 3 years unless your maker says otherwise.1
ABS diagnostics
When the ABS light comes on, we find out why and fix the cause.
Parking brakes
Adjusted and repaired, including electronic parking brakes.
Signs your brakes need attention
Brakes usually warn you before they fail.
- A screech when you brake. Many pads have a built-in wear indicator that makes this sound.2
- Grinding or scraping, which can mean the pads are worn through.2
- The car pulls to one side when you slow down or stop.2
- A spongy pedal, or one that goes down further than usual.2
- Vibration in the steering wheel or pedal when you brake.2
- It takes longer than usual to slow down.2
- The brake warning light is on.2
How long brakes last
It depends on how and where you drive.
Have your brakes checked at each seasonal tire change, when the wheels are already off.
Test the brake pedal and parking brake. If the light stays on, check the brake fluid level or have the car towed.3
