What to Expect With a Brake Service
1. Schedule Your Appointment
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.
2. Diagnostics and Inspections
Drop off your vehicle and the shop will get to work with inspections and diagnostics using the same equipment as the manufacturers to determine issues and next steps.
3. Digital Vehicle Inspection Report and Estimate
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
A service advisor will reach out to walk you through the findings and recommendations to determine how you would like to proceed, or you can approve work directly in your DVI.
5. Work Performed or Scheduled
Most work can be completed immediately, or scheduled based on parts and customer availability.

Signs Your Brakes Need Attention
Your vehicle's braking system is vital for your safety on the road. Ignoring signs of brake issues can lead to diminished stopping power, increased repair costs, and potential accidents. It's essential to address brake problems promptly to ensure your vehicle operates safely and efficiently.
Common Indicators of Brake Issues:
- Unusual Noises: Squealing, squeaking, or grinding sounds when braking often indicate worn brake pads or other components needing attention.
- Vibrations: Feeling vibrations or pulsations in the brake pedal or steering wheel can suggest warped rotors or other brake system issues.
- Pulling to One Side: If your vehicle pulls to one side during braking, it may be due to uneven brake pad wear or other underlying problems.
- Soft or Spongy Pedal: A brake pedal that feels soft or spongy can indicate air in the brake lines or low brake fluid levels.
- Brake Warning Light: An illuminated brake warning light on your dashboard signifies a potential issue with your braking system that requires immediate attention.
