Our brake repair services start with inspection – work that inspects the entire braking system for possible issues and defects. We go beyond simply swapping out old braking pads and assess the condition of the rotor, caliper, lines, and other smaller parts, too. Our team is expert in detecting any issues that could potentially lead to loss of braking performance or failure in the future.
Brake Repairs
If we detect any issues, we begin brake service as appropriate for your vehicle and brake model.
Most repairs begin with brake pad replacement. This component wears out after 30,000 to 35,000 miles of driving in urban environments (and longer if you drive more on the highway). Brake light inspection and repair can also occur alongside this.
Rotor resurfacing may also be required. This process involves removing any grime or debris that might have accumulated for a smooth finish, increasing braking efficiency, and reducing pad damage.
In some cases, you may require a caliper inspection and service. Technicians look inside the unit for signs of excessive wear, sticking, or leakage, removing stray oil, fluid, or grime.
Brake line inspections and fluid flushes are also part of our comprehensive services. Inspections of the hoses from the master cylinder to the brake components through the vehicle’s chassis help you detect any problems that might affect braking performance or cause your system to fail catastrophically. Fluid flushes help you remove any air or moisture in the system that can make brakes feel mushy and unresponsive, giving you more confidence on the road.
The final stage is to test the whole system and see how it performs. Technicians check the optimization of all braking elements, ensuring they function according to your vehicle’s specifications.
Don’t try to repair your brakes yourself. All brake repairs should be carried out by trained professionals like those at Accurate Automotive. Certified and insured mechanics understand how to perform servicing effectively, keeping you safe.
Signs You Need Brake Repair
The signs you need brake replacement or repair become apparent quickly after problems develop.
- A vehicle that pulls excessively to one side when you brake, usually as a result of uneven wear on the pads or misalignment in the system
- Brake fluid leaking out around the wheel and over the tires
- The dashboard ABS light continuously lights up (for vehicles with anti-lock braking systems)
- A soft or spongy pedal feel every time you depress the brake (usually as a result of contaminated fluid lines or air bubbles)
- A burning smell coming from the brakes without excessive braking (usually the result of something stuck in the brake caliper or brake pads dragging on the rotor)
- Unusual vibrations coming up through the steering column or from the brake pedals
- Failing to stop quickly when pushing hard on the brake pedal
- Unwanted noises, particularly high-pitched squealing when you apply the brakes
Some vehicle models have well-known defects that require comprehensive work to correct. However, most brake repairs are simply the result of natural wear and tear.
