Brake Service and Repair

Call: (805) 496-3039

Accurate Automotive specializes in servicing your vehicle’s braking needs to assure safe and reliable driving no matter what your braking requirements. Different driving conditions can significantly vary the life of disc and drum brake components. Brake components and fluid levels should be inspected regularly to assure vehicles safety.

Brake Service, Brake Pads

There are a variety of brake pad materials to choose from. Organic, semi metallic and ceramic are the most common. As a rule, we have seen competitors “Lifetime” brake pads wearing out faster than premium pads offered at our location. “Lifetime” pads usually come with a one year warranty on labor. So don’t be fooled. Having to change your brake pads more often will cost you more money in the long run. At Accurate Automotive we recommend OEM, Genuine pads or what suits our customers..

Rotors

Another part of the brake system is the rotor. They are a metal disc that when the pads are compressed against (via the caliper) stop the car. Rotors come from the factory in a certain thickness depending on the application. Once the rotor gets to a minimum, warping and premature pad wear will result. We will replace or re-surface disc brake rotors, replace worn brake pads, and replace faulty disc brake calipers as necessary. We will replace leaking brake lines, and assure your master cylinder system has the correct approved fluid and level. Maintaining your system requires changing the brake fluid biannually to remove moisture and contaminants from the system that could cause premature failure. Call us today

Gil and the team at Accurate Automotive are friendly professional, patient and clear answering technical questions and resolving concerns. Gil is always up front and specific with estimates for price and timeline. I recommend Accurate Automotive.
Super nice and professional
Great, honest service. Will be back and referring others. Had a different mechanic tell me I needed brakes although I had recently had them replaced and inspected. Gil was kind, explained things and verified I did NOT need brake service. I'll be back when I do but sure appreciate not needing it now!

Editing on February 2026 to include I sent a family member over there and they went above and beyond to make sure she was safe and her car was taken care of. A business I trust with our safety and they have come through many times!
I had a major issue with my Ford F150 2006 pickup truck. It happened Friday evening and so I didn’t use it for the weekend. I called Gilbert at Accurate Automotive at the advice of my parents who are loyal clients and was able to have the issue diagnosed and repaired the same day. I feel they were fair in their pricing and that I received great customer service. I hope I dont have any future problems but if I do I know I have an honest and knowledgeable repair shop to go to.
Very professional and knowledgeable always get everything done in a timely fashion.

My daughter recommended Accurate Automotive Services to me after she was scammed by another garage and went to Accurate Automotive for second opinion. They checked her vehicle out and told her the repairs the other place suggested were not needed. So when I needed trustworthy help with my vehicle after my husband's stroke, she sent me to them. Miguel and John went above and beyond the call of duty, to get me back on the road safely and I am so grateful. I would recommend them to all of you who are worried about being scammed or taken advantage of...they will do you right. They are family owned, have morals and can be trusted, and that is gold. Thanks, guys, you have my business and I'm happy to refer you
They are reliable, professional and willing to do the right thing. A couple of times after repairs were completed I had to bring my car in and they gladly fixed what was needed. I recommend this business. Miguel and Gill are easy to work with and honest. .
