Every brake service includes:
- OEM-formulated brake pads selected for your vehicle
- New brake rotors (no resurfacing shortcuts)

Frequently Asked
Questions
Do brake rotors need to be replaced with brake pads?
Yes. Brake rotors wear along with brake pads. Replacing rotors when installing new pads helps prevent vibration, noise, and reduced braking performance.
Do I need to change my brake fluid?
Yes. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which reduces braking performance and can damage internal components. A good guideline is every 24,000 miles or 2 years. We test brake fluid condition and perform complete fluid exchanges when needed.
How long do brakes typically last?
Brake life varies based on vehicle size, weight, and driving habits. Most brakes last between 30,000 and 60,000 miles.
What are the symptoms of worn brakes?
- Squeaking or grinding noises
- Steering wheel vibration while braking
- Hard or soft brake pedal
- Reduced stopping performance
