At Brookwood Auto, we recognize how crucial dependable brakes are to the performance and safety of your car. Whether you are driving down the highway or navigating busy city streets, having properly functioning brakes is important for your peace of mind. That’s why we offer comprehensive brake services to ensure your vehicle stops safely and efficiently every time.
Warning Signs of Brake Problems
1. Squealing or Grinding Noise
A high-pitched squeal or grinding noise, when you apply the brakes, can indicate worn brake pads. Ignoring this warning can lead to further damage to your brake system.
2. Vibrations or Pulsations
Vibrations or pulsations felt through the brake pedal or steering wheel when braking can indicate warped brake rotors. Addressing this issue promptly is crucial to prevent further damage and ensure smooth, consistent braking.
3. Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal
A soft or spongy brake pedal that goes to the floor when pressed may signal air in the brake lines or a leak in the brake system. Immediate attention is needed to prevent brake failure and ensure safety on the road.
4. Dashboard Warning Lights
If the brake warning light illuminates on your dashboard, it indicates a problem with the braking system that requires inspection. Ignoring warning lights can lead to serious brake issues and potential safety hazards.
5. Fluid Leaks
Visible leaks around the wheels or underneath the vehicle can indicate a brake fluid leak. Loss of brake fluid can compromise braking performance and safety, requiring prompt repair to ensure the integrity of your brake system.
Recognizing these warning signs is crucial for maintaining the safety and performance of your vehicle. Prompt action and inspection by a qualified technician can help diagnose and repair brake issues before they escalate, ensuring reliable stopping power and peace of mind on the road.
Our Expert Brake Services
Our skilled technicians thoroughly inspect your car’s braking system before starting any repairs. This includes examining the brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake lines for signs of wear, damage, or any other issues that may affect performance. Our diagnostic equipment allows us to pinpoint any potential problems quickly and accurately, ensuring a precise and effective solution.
Brake pads are responsible for creating the friction necessary to stop your car safely. Over time, brake pads wear down and need replacement to maintain optimal performance. Our premium brake pads are long-lasting and dependable, meeting or surpassing manufacturer standards.
Brake rotors, also known as brake discs, play a crucial role in slowing down your vehicle by providing a smooth surface for the brake pads to grip onto. Brake rotor wear, warping, or damage can occur gradually, affecting braking performance and causing vibrations or noise. Our technicians are skilled in resurfacing or replacing brake rotors as needed, restoring your vehicle’s braking efficiency, and ensuring a smooth, quiet ride.
Brake fluid is essential for transferring the force from the brake pedal to the brake components, ensuring smooth and responsive braking. Brake fluid can become contaminated with moisture and debris, leading to decreased performance and potential damage to the braking system. Our brake fluid flush and replacement service helps maintain proper brake function, prolonging the life of your braking components and ensuring your safety on the road.
Regular maintenance is key to keeping your vehicle’s braking system in top condition. We offer comprehensive brake system maintenance services, including cleaning and lubricating calipers, adjusting parking brakes, and inspecting brake lines for leaks or damage. By staying proactive with your brake maintenance, you can prevent costly repairs and ensure your vehicle stops reliably in any driving condition.
