How Christian Brothers Automotive Can Help
At Christian Brothers Automotive, we believe auto repair should be straightforward. When your vehicle needs brake service, we start with an upfront summary of everything that needs to be fixed, including a parts and labor cost breakdown. Your repairs are always your choice; we won’t do anything without your consent.
Once our technicians complete the brake inspection, we send you a Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) report via text, complete with photos and videos of our findings. You can review every recommendation and approve or decline work from your smartphone before we pick up a tool.
While inspecting your brakes, we check the following:
- Brake pad thickness
- Calipers
- Brake/hydraulic fluid (level and condition)
- Brake hoses–these wear out over time and need to be checked regularly for wear and tear
- Brake hardware
- Rotor wear
Every brake service we perform is backed by our Nice difference.® warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever is longer. That coverage travels with you and is honored at any Christian Brothers Automotive location across the country.
Whether your brakes are showing warning signs or you simply want the peace of mind that comes with a thorough inspection, we’re ready to help. Contact us today to schedule your brake service at Christian Brothers Automotive in Acworth.
