Brake and suspension repair.
Stopping distance and stability are not places to compromise. We measure every component, show you the results and replace only what has reached the end of its life.
What is included
Measured, not guessed.
A brake inspection covers pad and rotor thickness, caliper movement, hoses and the condition of the fluid. For ride and handling concerns we check shocks, struts, bushings, ball joints and tie rods on the lift and on the road.
- Brake pads, rotors, calipers and hardware
- Brake fluid testing and exchange
- Anti-lock brake system diagnosis
- Shocks, struts and coil springs
- Control arms, ball joints and tie rods

Signs it is time
Do not wait on these.
01
Squealing or grinding
A high-pitched squeal is the wear indicator. Grinding means metal on metal and rotor damage is under way.
02
A soft or pulsing pedal
A pedal that sinks suggests air or a leak. Pulsing under your foot usually means uneven rotors.
03
Bouncing or nose-dive
If the car keeps bobbing after bumps or dips sharply when braking, the shocks or struts are worn.
Brake questions
Quick answers.
How long do brake pads last?
Anywhere from 25,000 to 70,000 miles depending on the vehicle, the pad material and how much city driving you do. We measure them at every visit so you can plan ahead.
Do rotors always need replacing with pads?
No. If they are above minimum thickness and run true, they can stay. We share the measurements and let the numbers decide.
Is it safe to drive with the brake light on?
Treat it as urgent. Check that the parking brake is released, then call us. If the pedal feels different, have the car towed.
