Automotive Braking Systems & Maintenance

Stopping vehicles involves a hydraulic brake system generating friction at the wheels that resists/stops forward momentum. Automotive braking involves several crucial components that depreciate with use and require maintenance to preserve stopping power, safety, and peace of mind.

Brake Inspection/Diagnosis

The staging point for brake system maintenance is regular inspection. A brake system inspection is a basic component/risk assessment that includes a certified technician checking the rotors, calipers, and lines while measuring the pads. We perform brake system diagnoses in response to braking problems for problem confirmation and repair preparation. Many drivers from Village of Clarkston, MI, get brake system inspections without appointments at the express service department.

Brake Fluid Exchange

Brake fluid puts the hydraulic in your vehicle’s braking system. Hydraulic brake fluid has a recommended exchange interval detailed in the owner’s manual. Automakers often recommend brake fluid exchange service every two to three years because it collects moisture that threatens hydraulic performance.

Brake Pad Replacement

Brake pads wear down and require replacement service when three to four millimeters remain on the support plate. Front and rear brake pads might wear down at different rates because of the variable axle weight and friction. Our brake service menu includes all rear, and front brake pad replacement services.

Brake Rotor Resurfacing/Replacement

Calipers clamp brake pads into the rotor disc bolted to the wheels. A flat disc can generate more friction than rotors with cracked or grooved discs. Resurfacing restores rotors to specifications by removing disc blemishes. Rotors with deep grooves or warping require replacement service.
