Signs You Need Brake Repair or Replacement
Squeaky sounds, reduced responsiveness, unusual vibrations, or a soft or spongy brake pedal are warning signs demanding immediate attention. Unusual noises like grinding, squealing, and vibrations when you apply the brakes often indicate deeper issues.
Additionally, pay attention to any warning lights on your dashboard—they are your vehicle's way of alerting you to potential brake system problem.
Our Brake Services
Inspection of brakes
Brake inspection is vital in detecting problems before they escalate. Our extensive checks on brake systems assess the performance and safety of every component within this system.
Brake fluid
Your brake fluid helps maintain a consistent hydraulic force in the brake system. Brake fluid cleaning and replacement enhance efficiency and prevent problems associated with dirty brake fluids.
Brake pads and shoes
Without brake pads/shoes, applying the brakes in any vehicle would be challenging and unrewarding. We concentrate on replacing these parts that affect the performance of your car's braking systems.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
If the ABS is damaged, you risk losing control of the car during emergency stops. Our specialists can repair ABS and its component faults so you are safe on the roads.
Brake rotors and drums
Warped or broken brake rotors and drums can cause vibration and loss of braking services. Although replacing brake rotors and drums is expensive, we have affordable alternatives that, given proper maintenance, will save you money in the future.
Importance of Brake Inspection and Maintenance
In our approach, routine inspections are the unsung heroes of vehicle maintenance. Our technicians don't just fix; they prevent. Scheduled brake inspections and maintenance checks are crucial to identifying potential issues before they escalate. By investing in proactive care, we keep you ahead of the unexpected, giving you peace of mind as you navigate Calgary's roads.
