Whether scheduling online or over the phone be sure and let us know what you're experiencing so we can provide fast and accurate service advice.

Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.
4. Review and Approval

5. Work Performed or Scheduled
Most work can be completed immediately, or scheduled based on parts and customer availability.

Your Safety is Our Priority
Your vehicle's braking system is a complex network of components working together, and our ASE-certified technicians are experts in diagnosing and repairing all types of issues. We service every part of the braking system, including:
- Brake pads and shoes: We check for proper thickness and wear, which is crucial for effective stopping power.
- Rotors and drums: These components can become warped or grooved over time, affecting performance. We inspect them for wear and recommend resurfacing or replacement when needed.
- Calipers and wheel cylinders: We ensure these hydraulic components are operating correctly to apply the necessary force to your brakes.
- Brake fluid and hydraulic lines: We assess the fluid's level and condition, and check the hoses for any signs of wear, leaks, or damage that could compromise the system.
- Master cylinder and hardware: We perform a complete check of the entire system's hardware, including the master cylinder, to ensure every part is in optimal condition.
A professional inspection is the best way to catch minor issues before they become major problems. Early detection can save you from more expensive repairs down the line and, most importantly, help prevent a potential safety hazard.
