ABOUT OUR BRAKES SERVICE
What’s included with our brake service?
Our specially trained and certified experts will inspect, repair, and if necessary, replace your brake system to ensure it's working efficiently and effectively. So you can get back on the road with complete confidence.
Our service includes:
- Replacing your worn brake pads and/or brake shoes
- Resurfacing your brake rotors or drums
- Replacing your brake fluid as needed
Why is brake service important?
Because brakes are made of materials and components that wear down over time, they need to be inspected and repaired or replaced on a routine basis.
When brake inspections and maintenance are overlooked, it can lead to costlier repairs and replacements, as well as a dangerous inability to stop your vehicle. And no one wants to worry about that.
How often do you recommend brake service?
We recommend you have your brakes checked every 12 months or 15,000 miles, but it’s always a good idea to check your owner’s manual for your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.
