Do I Need Brake Service? (Brake Service)

Posted July 21, 2024 4:43 AM

Think of how many times you put your foot on your vehicle’s brake pedal every day.  And think of how much you rely on your brakes to slow down and stop your momentum.  When it comes to safety systems, your brakes are at the top of the list, and that’s why it’s so important to keep them in top condition. Brakes are something you make sure you keep maintained before they start showing signs of problems.

Some of those signs are a grinding sound when you step on the brake pedal, your vehicle pulling to one side when you brake, you don’t feel your brakes stopping you as quickly as they used to, or you notice the brake light is illuminated on your instrument panel. 

We ask a lot of our brakes.  They have to work no matter how hot or cold it is outside.  That means whether it’s sunny, snowing, raining, or icy; you’re traveling at highway speeds or school-zone speeds; or when suddenly you find yourself trying to avoid hitting another vehicle, animal, person, or obstacle in the road.  They have to work on smooth or rough pavement.

When you bring your vehicle in to us for brake service, we will first inspect your brakes and all the parts in the system.  Our technician will closely check all the components for wear, deterioration, and corrosion.  We’ll check fluids, bushings, seals, and other components and make recommendations for what should be replaced or repaired to keep the system in top condition.  We’ll recommend quality parts that meet your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. 

We want to make sure your vehicle’s brakes are doing for you what they are designed to do.  Your safety—and the safety of all the people around you—is at stake when it comes to your brakes.

Great experience all around. I can talk to my specific situation; I bought a used truck for weekend needs, I am pretty flexible with timings, and live down the road. I'll give some details so others can hopefully get a feel for the place, and how you can interact with them. I think people are often worried about being 'scammed', the mechanic breaking stuff on purpose, upselling, etc. General Experience: (1) They did a checkup on the used car and a color coded checklist of priority (2.a) even within the 'urgent' parts, Bob told me which things really could wait. He also helped balance the used car cost, estimated longevity, and cost priorities. (2.b) he went even as far as saying just not to fix some things because it wouldn't be worth it, which is like the opposite of going to jiffy lube and being told you must fix xyz, your air filter, etc. ASAP or your car will explode. (2.c) emphasizing this; even when I said 'lets just fix everything and all maintenance to get it over with' he really advised against it, just wait longer until it's really needed to save money right now. (3) I asked something like 'wd40 and fix it', and he said no it's breaks, do it right. But later when there was something that would be extremely expensive, they let me know what would be a feasible low-cost/temp fix. Key things to appreciate: (1) I had many questions, both on the bill, how quote and estimate are calculated, and the work performed. Bob answered everything, patiently. Then when I had a second set of questions he did the same.... and the third time. I had questions on part costs, part numbers, how quotes are generated, etc. and he was transparent about all of it, without being offended/defensive. (2) A week after work done, I had a question on some things I saw, he welcomed me in right away, saw what I asked about, explained it, then spent some extra time to secure an attachment to make me happy. Of course, be respectful of their time. I also can't speak to all the mechanics, Bob did the quoting and some inspection, is super calm and level headed dealing with customers. Shawn is usually focused on work, but the times I got to chat with him were very fun, hes got a nice sense of humor. I got to speak with Dylan only a few minutes, but he has some personal knowledge of trucks, so I got to learn some things from him in conversation.

We were in town visiting family for a wedding celebration. I noticed vibration in the front end of our Honda Pilot, and at the advice of my brother (local resident), I asked if Bob could check it out Friday afternoon. Having a full schedule on Saturday, Bob slipped us into the schedule, made the repair, and got us on our way back to Florida. Great service/great communication/honest and friendly staff/fair pricing- strongly recommended!
