Our Approach to Brake System Care
The braking system is a complex network of interconnected components, each playing a vital role in slowing and stopping your vehicle. At Christian Brothers Automotive Bixby, our skilled technicians are proficient in servicing all types of brake systems, including disc and drum brakes. We use advanced diagnostic tools and high-quality parts to ensure every repair is performed with precision and care.
Our comprehensive brake inspection includes a thorough evaluation of the following components:
- Brake pads and shoes: We measure the remaining pad and shoe thickness to determine if they need replacement.
- Rotors and drums: We inspect for signs of wear, such as warping or uneven surfaces, which can lead to pulsation or reduced braking efficiency.
- Brake fluid: We check the level and condition of your brake fluid, as contaminated or low fluid can compromise the entire hydraulic system.
- Calipers and wheel cylinders: We ensure these components are functioning correctly to apply pressure to the pads or shoes.
- Brake hoses and lines: We check for leaks, cracks, or other damage that could lead to a loss of hydraulic pressure.
- Master cylinder and brake hardware: We examine the central parts of your braking system and associated hardware for any signs of wear or failure.
By performing a detailed inspection, we can identify potential problems before they escalate into more significant issues, helping you avoid costly repairs and, most importantly, ensuring your safety on the road.
