Brake Repair FAQs
-
Why is my vehicle's dashboard brake light on?
Your brake warning light can come on when your braking system has low brake fluid levels, a malfunctioning component, or an engaged parking brake. If you need your brakes checked, book an appointment today.
-
Can I just replace brake pads and not rotors?
We'll inspect both rotors and brakes on your vehicle. If your rotors are in good condition, then yes, we can replace the brake pads only.
-
How do I tell if my brake pads are worn?
Brake pads are worn when they have less than a quarter of an inch thick. But you'll likely know if you have an issue by then.
If you hear high-pitched squealing or grinding noises when applying the brakes, notice a decrease in stopping power, or feel a spongy brake pedal, then it's best to have your brakes inspected.
