Brake Repair

 

Pit Stop Automotive offers professional brake maintenance and repair. You can count on us to inspect your brake system to help you keep it in good repair, which will allow you to stop your vehicle quickly and efficiently – your most important safety concern when driving!

​

When you bring your car to Pit Stop Automotive for regularly scheduled oil changes and maintenance (two to four times per year), we will check your brake pads, rotors/drums, calipers, and brake fluid to be sure that all is in good working order. Your brake pads will wear with time and miles are driven, and are designed for periodic replacement in order to be effective.  Be aware of any squealing/grinding noises, or vibrations and shudders that occur while braking. Let your Pit Stop Auto technician or service advisor know what you are hearing and feeling.  Also, if you have to push your brake pedal further or apply more pressure than you used to, you may need brake service.

​

If brake pads are allowed to wear too thin, they can damage other components of your brake system, namely the rotors. Pit Stop Automotive will recommend having your brake pads replaced before they damage the rotors (metal on metal contact), thereby saving you money on the replacement cost of a new rotor.  We will also inspect the brake system for parts that may not be working properly, brake fluid that may be low or dirty, and rotors or drums that may be glazed, worn, or warped.  Pit Stop Automotive will make sure that all components are working at their best, so you do not have to worry the next time you come to a stop.  You can make your brake pads and rotors last longer by changing your driving habits – plan ahead and slow down earlier as you approach stoplights, and, by using a lower gear in your transmission, you can avoid riding the brakes as you go downhill.

​
