Common questions about brake repair and replacement
Brake pads typically need replacement every 25,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and conditions. City driving with frequent stops wears pads faster than highway driving. We recommend annual brake inspections to monitor wear.
Our $499 per axle service includes premium brake pad replacement, rotor resurfacing (when possible), brake system inspection, brake fluid top-off, and a 6-month warranty. If rotors need replacement, we'll provide a quote before proceeding.
Most brake services are completed within 2-3 hours. We offer same-day service for most brake repairs. If we need to order special parts for your vehicle, we'll let you know the timeline upfront.
Not always. If your rotors are thick enough and not warped, they can often be resurfaced. However, if rotors are too thin, warped, or damaged, replacement is necessary for safety. We'll measure and inspect your rotors and only recommend replacement if needed.
Brake squeaking can indicate worn brake pads, but it could also be caused by dust, moisture, or glazed pads. Some brake pads have built-in wear indicators that squeal when replacement is needed. We offer free brake inspections to diagnose the exact cause.
