Frequently Asked Questions

We believe that safety should never be compromised, which is why we only use high-quality, genuine parts that meet or exceed Original Equipment (OE) manufacturer specifications.

For all brake repairs, we use OEM or OE-equivalent brake pads from trusted brands that are well-known for their quality and performance. The specific brand we use depends on your car's make and model to ensure a perfect fit and optimal stopping power. We commonly use brands like Bosch, Brembo, and Akebono, which are leaders in the automotive brake industry.

We avoid using any local or low-grade parts to ensure your vehicle's safety and reliability. All our brake pad replacements come with a service warranty for your peace of mind.

The master cylinder is the heart of your car's hydraulic braking system. A problem here can lead to a dangerous loss of braking pressure. You might notice:

A soft, spongy, or "mushy" brake pedal that sinks to the floor.

The brake pedal slowly sinking while you are holding your foot on it at a stoplight.

Brake fluid leaking from the master cylinder itself.

A brake warning light on your dashboard turning on.

A full brake service goes beyond just replacing brake pads. It's a comprehensive inspection and maintenance procedure that includes:

  • Checking the thickness of the brake pads and discs.
  • Inspecting the brake calipers, hoses, and brake lines.
  • Checking the brake fluid level and condition.
  • Lubricating key components to prevent sticking and noise.
  • A test drive to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

Brake disc skimming is a process where a very thin layer of material is machined off the surface of the brake discs (rotors) to make them perfectly smooth again. This is a cost-effective solution for discs that have minor imperfections like light grooves or slight warping, which cause vibrations when braking. We can perform skimming only if the discs are still above the manufacturer's specified minimum thickness.

Brake fluid should typically be changed every two years or 24,000 miles (approximately 38,000 kilometers), whichever comes first. However, it's best to consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific recommendations. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which can reduce its boiling point and compromise your braking performance.

A hard or stiff brake pedal can be a sign of a problem with the brake booster, which assists you in applying the brakes. It can also indicate a vacuum leak in the system or a problem with the brake linings. It can be A Faulty ABS Module in Some Cases. This issue should be inspected by a professional as soon as possible.

The most common signs that your brakes need attention are:

Squealing or grinding noises when you apply the brakes. Squealing is often caused by a small metal wear indicator on the brake pad, alerting you that the pads are getting low. A grinding noise typically means the pads are completely worn and the metal backing plate is scraping against the rotor.

A soft or "spongy" brake pedal that feels like it goes too far down before the brakes engage. This could indicate air in the brake lines or a brake fluid leak.

A vibrating or pulsating feeling in the brake pedal or steering wheel when braking. This is often a sign of warped brake rotors.

The car pulling to one side when you brake. This can be caused by a stuck brake caliper, a bad brake hose, or unevenly worn brake components.

A burning smell after heavy braking. This could indicate overheated brakes.
