FAQs
How do I know if I need new brake pads?
Listen for squealing or grinding noises when you brake. You might also notice longer stopping distances, a softer pedal, or a warning light. Regular checks during oil changes help catch worn pads before they cause issues.
Why does my steering wheel shake when I brake?
Shaking often comes from warped brake rotors. An inspection will determine if resurfacing or replacing the rotors can restore smooth braking.
How often should brakes be checked in Centennial?
We recommend a brake inspection at least once a year, or whenever braking performance changes. Centennial’s unique driving conditions and winter weather may require more frequent checks, especially for those driving in the foothills or snow.
What’s included with a full brake service?
A full brake service covers pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, fluid, and hardware. Repairs might include pad replacement, rotor resurfacing, caliper repair, or fluid replacement if needed.
How long does a brake repair or replacement take?
Most brake pad replacements and basic repairs finish within a few hours. More complex jobs, such as replacing rotors or diagnosing difficult issues, may take longer. Our complimentary shuttle helps you stay on schedule while your vehicle is serviced.
