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 You Need Brake Service
Your vehicle's braking system is vital for your safety on the road. Recognizing early warning signs can prevent costly repairs and ensure your vehicle operates safely.
Common indicators that your brakes may need attention include:
- Unusual Noises: Squealing or grinding sounds when braking often signal worn brake pads or debris between the pads and rotor.
- Vibrations: Feeling vibrations through the steering wheel or brake pedal can indicate warped rotors or issues with the brake system.
- Pulling to One Side: If your car pulls to one side when braking, it could be due to uneven brake pad wear or a problem with the braking system.
- Soft or Spongy Pedal: A brake pedal that feels soft or sinks to the floor may suggest air in the brake lines or a fluid leak.
- Warning Lights: Illuminated brake warning lights on your dashboard should be addressed promptly, as they indicate potential issues with the braking system.
Regular brake inspections are essential to catch these issues early. Christian Brothers Automotive Smyrna offers free visual brake inspections, even during routine oil changes, to ensure your braking system is in top condition.
