From a routine pad replacement to a complete brake overhaul, our licensed mechanics service every part of your braking system — using premium ceramic pads and premium rotors, backed by our peace-of-mind warranty:

Signs You Need Brake Repair

Your brakes usually warn you before they fail. Book an appointment if you notice any of these:

• Your brake warning light is on
• Grinding when you brake
• Squealing or squeaking from the wheels
• Your wheels wobble or vibrate while braking
• The brake pedal sinks to the floor
• The car pulls to one side when braking
• A burning smell
• Fluid leaking near the wheels

Any of these can mean worn pads — or something more serious. The sooner we take a look, the cheaper and safer the fix.

What Happens During Your Free Brake Inspection

Our free brake inspection isn’t a quick glance through the wheel — it’s a full check of the braking system:

• Brake pads — measured for remaining thickness and uneven wear
• Rotors — measured against manufacturer spec for thickness, scoring, and warping
• Calipers & slide pins — checked for seizing, sticking, and leaks
• Brake lines & hoses — inspected for corrosion, cracks, and leaks
• Brake fluid — checked for level, colour, and moisture content
• Brake shoes & drums — measured on drum-equipped vehicles
• Parking brake & ABS warning light — tested for correct operation

Then we show you exactly what we found and quote you before touching anything. If your brakes still have life left, we’ll tell you that too — no upselling.

Brake Noises Explained — Squealing, Grinding & Squeaking

• Squealing or high-pitched squeaking — usually the built-in wear indicator telling you the pads are getting thin. Time to book a brake check.
• Grinding or metal-on-metal — pads are likely worn through and damaging the rotors. Stop driving on it and get it inspected right away.
• Squeaking when turning or at low speed — often glazed pads, trapped debris, or dry slide pins.
• A light squeak after rain — usually harmless surface rust that clears within a few stops.
• Clunking or rattling — can mean loose hardware or a failing caliper bracket.

How Often Should You Replace Brake Pads?

As a rule of thumb, have your brakes checked about every six months, and expect to replace your brake pads around every 50,000 km. Driving habits vary, though, so our mechanics inspect your pads and rotors and tell you honestly whether they need replacing now or have a few thousand kilometres left — no upselling.

Quality Parts, Backed by a 1-Year Warranty

We use premium ceramic brake pads — the gold standard for quality — for smooth, quiet, long-lasting braking, paired with premium rotors for reliable, confident stopping power. Not the bargain-bin parts that wear out in half the time. For European vehicles like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and Jaguar, we stock premium brands including Zimmerman, TRW, and Brembo. And every brake job is backed by our peace-of-mind 1-year warranty — so you can drive away knowing the work will last.

Brake Service for Every Make & Model

Our licensed mechanics do brake repair on domestic, import, and European vehicles — cars, SUVs, and light trucks:

• Domestic — Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, RAM, Jeep
• Import — Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Subaru
• European & luxury — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Jaguar — using premium Zimmermann, TRW, and Brembo parts
• Trucks & SUVs — heavier vehicles with larger brake components

Larger and premium brake systems cost more in parts, so call with your year, make and model for an exact quote.

How Long Does a Brake Job Take?

Most brake pad replacements take about 1–2 hours, and pads with rotors usually take 2–3 hours. In most cases you can drop your car off and drive away the same day. Appointments are preferred so we can have your parts ready — but walk-ins are welcome, just call ahead and we’ll tell you honestly how busy we are.
