Brake Repair & Services
Brake service maintenance for the entire braking system and brake problems, such as brake pads, brake fluid, and rotors, are important in helping ensure the safety of you and your passengers in your car, truck or other automobile with brake issues. There are a number of signs that indicate your brakes need attention and you want to give them the best attention there is.

- Your car is wobbling or pulsating when you drive at highway speeds
- It’s been over a year or 12,000 miles since the last time your brakes were inspected
- You’re near or past the number of miles your vehicle’s manufacturer recommends between brake fluid exchanges
- The brake warning light on your dashboard comes on and stays on
- Your vehicle requires longer distances to stop than it used to
- The brake pedal responds slowly
- The brake pedal requires excess pressure
