Have you considered the fact that your brakes are one of the most important safety features of your car? Good brakes make all the difference between a fast stop vs. an accident. There are times when sudden stops are required, and you need to make sure that your brakes are up to the task with an instant response.

Like many other parts of your car, it’s normal for the brakes to start to wear down over time. Eventually, they will need to be replaced – and our team at Rick’s Auto Repair & Body Shop is here to help. We offer brake inspections, repair, and replacement services to ensure your braking system is always in top-notch condition.

Comprehensive Care for Brake Repair and Replacements

Rest assured knowing that your car is in good hands when you choose Rick’s Auto Repair & Body Shop. Our full-service repair and replacement include:

Comprehensive Brake Inspection

We always start with a full inspection of your brake system. Not only do we measure the brake pads, but we also look at the condition of your brake fluid, calipers, and rotors. You’ll receive a recommended service plan and a pricing estimate.

Replacing Brake Pads and Rotors

When the brake pads are worn out and/or the rotors are warped, then it can make it harder to stop the vehicle. We’ll replace these parts so that you can bring the car to a smooth stop at any time.

Brake Fluid Flush & Replacement

It’s normal for brake fluid to absorb moisture, which takes a toll on how well your car can stop. Regular maintenance should include a brake fluid flush, with new brake fluid to keep your brakes working optimally.

Anti-Lock Brake System Diagnostics & Repair

The anti-lock brake system (ABS) involves wheel sensors that help to pulse the brakes automatically to prevent the tires from skidding. If your ABS light is on, then we can diagnose the issue and repair or replace the ABS components as needed.

Brake Line Repair & Replacement

When your brake line is damaged or leaking, it eventually leads to a total failure of your braking system. Your safety is our priority, and we are here to help with inspections and repair services as needed.

FAQs

How often do brake pads need to be replaced?

It depends on your driving habits, road conditions, and the types of pads that are on your car. Most brake pads last between 30,000 – 70,000 miles.

What happens if I ignore brake issues?

Procrastinating brake repair services can cause the pads to be worn out, eventually causing damage to the rotors (which costs more money for repairs). You are also risking the problem of having full brake failure, which is a serious safety issue.

Is it possible to replace the brake pads without replacing the rotors?

Sometimes brake pads can be replaced and the original rotors can be left in place. But if your rotors are warped or worn, then we recommend replacing both the brake pads and rotors at the same time.

How long does it take to complete a brake repair service?

We can usually complete this job in 1 – 2 hours, depending on the scope of work and the type of vehicle.
