Our Brake Repair Service
Our brake service starts with an entire brake system inspection to find out what services will be needed. Once the entire brake system has been inspected, a recommendation can be made as to what parts needs to be replaced.
In most instances, a “complete” brake job will include the following:
- New linings front and rear.
- Resurfacing both rotors and drums (or replacing them if worn, cracked or hard spots are found).
- Replacing drum hardware and caliper bushings/pins/sleeves.
- Rebuilding or replacing calipers and wheel cylinders (depending on mileage and condition).
- Maybe replacing some brake hoses and/or the master cylinder (if leaks or problems are found).
- Test the brake fluid and, if necessary, flush the brake fluid and bleed all the lines.
- Inspecting wheel bearings (repacking on older vehicles).
- Lubricating all critical areas such as caliper slides and shoe pads with high temperature brake lubricant.
- Checking & adjusting the parking brake.
- Checking the ABS system for any fault codes, or replacing any faulty ABS components as needed (wheel speed sensors, hydraulic modulator, accumulator, pump or relay).
It’s easy for braking issues to snowball into a significant repair bill. If you suspect a problem with your brakes, get them checked out. If you need an inspection of your brakes, contact us.
