What is the cost to repair brakes?

Brake repairs and replacement costs vary based on what is necessary to repair the area of the brake system properly. Every vehicle’s needs are unique. Take advantage of a free brake inspection to determine what your vehicle may need. Our friendly Service Advisors will review your options and discuss the time and cost required to repair your brakes properly.

Why does my car shake when I hit the brakes?

Brake shake can be caused by several different issues including worn suspension components, worn brake pads, or warped rotors. The ABS system attempting to activate due to failed or damaged components can cause shaking. It’s best to have an experienced technician inspect the system to determine the cause, as not all “brake shakes” are caused by the braking system.

How often should I change my brake pads?

The life expectancy of brakes depends on varying factors: driving habits, frequent hard stops, driving uphill and downhill or steep grades, vehicle weight including cargo and passengers, brake pad type, brake fluid condition, and a worn-out suspension system can all reduce the lifespan of brakes. Because of these factors, it’s recommended to have your brakes inspected often.
