Complete Brake Service for Your Vehicle

Our brake service covers every major component of your braking system, from pads and rotors to hydraulic parts and electronics. We tailor recommendations to your specific vehicle, driving habits, and manufacturer guidelines.

• Brake pad and shoe replacement. We replace worn pads and shoes with high-quality parts to help restore consistent, reliable stopping performance.
• Rotor and drum service. We perform rotor and drum service, resurfacing or replacing components to address pulsation, vibration, and uneven wear.
• Brake fluid exchange. We complete a full brake fluid exchange to remove moisture and contaminants from the hydraulic brake system.
• Hydraulic system repairs. We handle hydraulic system repairs, including brake calipers, wheel cylinders, and brake lines, to keep fluid pressure and braking response where they should be.
• ABS and electronic diagnostics. We perform ABS and electronic diagnostics using manufacturer-quality equipment to track down warning lights, sensor faults, and module issues.
• Parking brake service. We adjust and service the parking brake so it holds correctly on hills and releases smoothly.
• Brake hardware replacement. We inspect and perform brake hardware replacement for clips, springs, and pins that support even pad wear and quieter operation.

Most modern vehicles use disc brakes, which combine brake pads with rotors at the front wheels and often at the rear as well. Many trucks, SUVs, and economy cars still use drum brakes and shoes at the rear axle, which require a different service approach. Our team is trained to work with both systems and to check how they work together with your ABS and stability control.

On most vehicles, we include a free visual brake inspection as part of our Courtesy Inspection, which we can complete during a routine oil change. If we see an issue, we explain what is urgent, what can wait, and what to watch.

Our Brake Service Process in Bentonville

We have designed our brake service process to keep you informed and in control every step of the way.

• 1. Schedule your appointment. Call us or schedule online at your convenience. Let us know if you are experiencing squealing, grinding, vibration, a soft pedal, or brake warning lights.
• 2. Diagnostics and inspections. When you arrive, we road test the vehicle as needed and inspect the braking system using manufacturer-equivalent diagnostic equipment. For some symptoms, we may remove wheels or components to get a complete view.
• 3. Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI). We create a Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) that includes photos and, when helpful, short videos of what we find under your vehicle and under the hood.
• 4. Review and approval. We text you the DVI so you can review findings on your phone. Your service advisor then walks through each item in plain language. You can approve or decline work through the DVI or by phone.
• 5. Complete the work. Once you approve the plan, our ASE-certified technicians complete the brake repairs or schedule additional work at a time that fits your day.

We never perform repairs without your explicit and informed consent. The DVI allows you to see exactly what we see, so you are never asked to approve brake pad replacement or other repairs based on guesswork.

Brake Service FAQs

What can cause the ABS warning light to come on?

The ABS warning light can turn on for several reasons, including a malfunctioning ABS module, low brake fluid in the reservoir, broken or contaminated wheel speed sensors, or the system being turned off where that feature exists. We use ABS diagnostics and other tools to identify the root cause and discuss the next steps with you.

How long do brake pads usually last?

Brake pads often last between 25,000 and 70,000 miles, depending on your vehicle type, driving style, and conditions like stop-and-go traffic or towing. During every visit, we check pad thickness and can estimate how much life is left so you can plan for future brake pad replacement.

How often should brake fluid be changed?

A brake fluid exchange is generally recommended about every 30,000 miles or every two years, but the exact interval is listed in your owner’s manual. We can test the condition of your brake fluid and let you know if it is time to service it based on your vehicle’s guidelines and current fluid condition.

What does your brake warranty cover?

Our Nice Difference® Warranty covers 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs last, on the work we perform. If an issue covered under the warranty comes up, you can visit Christian Brothers Automotive Bentonville or another Christian Brothers Automotive location nationwide for assistance.

What is included in the Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI)?

We perform a complimentary Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) on every visit. Your DVI includes photos from under the hood and around key components, along with technician notes in easy-to-understand terms. You receive the report by text and can approve or decline any recommended work, including brake repairs, from your smartphone.
