Common Brake Services and Repairs for Your Vehicle

Brake Pad Replacement

Brake pads are the most essential part of your vehicle’s braking system. They help stop your car by creating the necessary resistance against the rotors, allowing the vehicle to slow down. Continuous friction against the brake pads and rotors causes the brake pads to wear out over time. If you experience reduced braking performance or a screeching or squealing sound while applying the brakes, or if your vehicle has exceeded 6,000 miles, visit any of our auto repair shops in Alabaster or Homewood, AL, for a brake pad inspection or replacement.

Resurfacing or Replacement of Brake Rotors

The brake pads work in unison with the brake rotors, providing them with a smooth surface for grip when the brakes are applied. Uneven wear, grooving, or warping of rotors is a common problem faced by some German vehicles. Only certified technicians and advanced tools can effectively resurface brake rotors. You can visit us, located near you in Helena and Hoover, AL, for a prompt inspection and repair of your brakes to ensure your vehicle stops smoothly and safely.

Replacement of Brake Fluid

Brake fluid has a crucial role in transferring force from the brake pedals to the brake components through the hydraulic system. You need to replace contaminated or dirty brake fluid immediately because these fluids cannot create the required hydraulic pressure on the brake components to work smoothly. You can drive into Momentum Motorworks, located in Birmingham, AL, near you, to flush and replace the brake fluid on the same day.

Repair or Replacement of Calipers

The calipers house brake pads and use hydraulic pressure to compress those pads against the rotors. If your car pulls to one side, it is a sign that your calipers are worn out. You need an expert and certified technician to look after those calipers and repair or replace them according to the severity of the issue. For optimal brake function, visit our garages near you in Vestavia and Mountain Brook, AL.

FAQ

Why does my brake pedal feel soft or spongy?
A low level of brake fluid, the presence of air in the hydraulic lines, or a malfunctioning master cylinder can cause your brake pedal to feel spongy.
How long do brake rotors last?
The brake rotor lasts for 50,000 to 70,000 miles normally. Moreover, it depends on your driving style and maintenance.
Why does my brake squeak even after replacement?
The squeaking may be caused by improper installation, low-quality pads, or a lack of lubrication on the braking plates.
What are the consequences of delaying brake repair?
A delayed brake repair can directly risk your life by compromising safety. This can also lead to complete brake failure and later result in an inflated repair bill.
Can worn-out brakes damage other parts of the car?
Yes. Worn-out brakes can damage the brake calipers, rotors, and tires, leading to additional expenses for car repairs.
