What we check
Pad thickness, rotor condition and runout, caliper movement, hose and line condition, fluid condition, and the parking brake. You see the measurements and the photos; if the pads have life left, we tell you and you drive away.
Quality parts, done right
We install quality pads and rotors matched to how the car is driven, bed them in properly, and road test before handing back the keys. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time — if yours tests wet, we’ll recommend a flush, but only when it actually needs one.
Brakes for salvage-title vehicles
If you’re going through a VSSI (the old brake and lamp inspection), brakes are the most common reason a car doesn’t pass the first time. We inspect, quote, repair and re-inspect all in one place. See the VSSI page.
Brake repair questions
How much is a brake job?
It depends on the vehicle and whether rotors are needed, so we don't guess — the inspection is free and you get an exact written quote before any work.
How do I know if I need brakes?
Squealing, grinding, a pulsing pedal, longer stopping distances, or a brake warning light. Grinding means metal on metal — come in soon.
How long does it take?
Pads and rotors on most cars are done in a couple of hours. We'll tell you up front if parts need to be ordered.
Is there a warranty?
12 months / 12,000 miles on the repair.
