Brake Services

A brake service is a crucial aspect of vehicle maintenance that ensures your braking system operates safely and efficiently. Here’s a list of things typically addressed during a comprehensive brake service:

Brake Pads/Shoe Replacement:

  • Description: Inspect and replace worn brake pads (disc brakes) or shoes (drum brakes) to ensure proper braking performance.
  • Reason: Worn pads or shoes can decrease braking efficiency and increase stopping distances.

Brake Rotors/Drums Inspection and Resurfacing/Replacement:

  • Description: Inspect brake rotors (discs) and drums for wear, warping, and damage. Resurface or replace as necessary.
  • Reason: Warped or damaged rotors and drums can cause vibrations, noise, and reduced braking effectiveness.

Brake Fluid Check and Replacement:

  • Description: Check the brake fluid's level and condition. If it is contaminated or has absorbed moisture, replace it.
  • Reason: Old or contaminated brake fluid can reduce the braking system's efficiency and cause brake failure.



Brake Calipers Inspection and Service:

  • Description: Inspect calipers for proper operation, leaks, and wear. Clean, lubricate, or replace as needed.
  • Reason: Faulty calipers can cause uneven braking, sticking, or brake drag.

Brake Master Cylinder Inspection:

  • Description: Inspect the master cylinder for leaks and proper operation. Repair or replace if necessary.
  • Reason: A failing master cylinder can lead to a loss of brake pressure and overall brake failure.
