Brake Repair
Squealing, grinding, or a soft pedal? Brakes are the one system you don't wait on. We inspect, quote, and repair — with honest recommendations.
Signs Your Brakes Need Attention
If you notice any of these, book an inspection. Brakes rarely fail without warning.
Squealing
A high-pitched squeal when braking usually means worn pads have reached their wear indicator.
Grinding
A metal-on-metal grinding sound means the pad is gone and the backing plate is contacting the rotor. Stop driving — this causes damage fast.
Soft or Spongy Pedal
Brake pedal feels soft or drops toward the floor — could be air in the lines, a fluid leak, or a failing master cylinder.
Pulsation
Pedal or steering wheel pulses when braking — often caused by warped rotors.
Pulling to One Side
Car pulls to one side when braking — could be a stuck caliper or uneven pad wear.
Brake Warning Light
Dashboard brake light stays on — check the parking brake, then get it inspected.

How Often Do Brakes Need Service?
Pads: Every 40,000–70,000 km
Depends on driving style. City drivers wear pads faster than highway drivers.
Rotors: Every 80,000–120,000 km
Often replaced with pads if they're warped or below spec.
Fluid: Every 2–3 Years
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, reducing braking performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does brake service take?
Brake pad replacement typically takes 1–2 hours per axle. Rotor replacement adds time. We'll give you an accurate estimate.
Do I need front and rear brakes at the same time?
Not always — front brakes usually wear faster. We'll inspect and tell you what's actually needed.
Can I drive with squealing brakes?
Yes, briefly — squealing means the wear indicator is touching. But ignoring it will damage rotors and cost more.
Can I drive with grinding brakes?
No — grinding means metal-on-metal contact. Stop driving as soon as safe and get towed if necessary.
How much does brake service cost?
