⚙️ What’s Included in Our Brake Service:

Our certified technicians perform a full inspection and provide tailored solutions based on your vehicle’s exact needs. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Brake Pad Replacement – Worn-out pads can reduce stopping power and damage your rotors. We use high-quality pads that provide excellent performance and quiet operation.

  • Brake Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement – Warped, grooved, or uneven rotors can cause vibrations and reduce braking efficiency. We’ll machine or replace them as needed.

  • Brake Caliper Inspection & Repair – Seized or leaking calipers can cause uneven braking. Our team ensures they’re functioning properly and replaced if necessary.

  • Brake System Diagnostic – Got a brake warning light or a soft pedal? We use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint ABS or hydraulic system issues.
