Fantastic service. Very knowledgeable and friendly. It’s in my honest opinion, prices are very reasonable and affordable. Had a tune-up done on my Mercedes, oil change plugs tire rotation and it was a fraction of the cost from the dealer. I strongly recommend.

Brakes FAQ

How often should I have my brakes inspected?

We recommend having your brakes inspected at least once a year or every 20,000 km. If you notice squeaking, grinding, vibrations, or reduced stopping power, have your brakes checked as soon as possible to prevent further damage and ensure your safety.

How do I know if my brake pads need replacing?

Common signs include squealing or grinding noises, a brake warning light, longer stopping distances, vibrations when braking, or brake pads that measure below the recommended thickness. A professional brake inspection can determine if it’s time for replacement.

Why is a brake fluid flush important?

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which can reduce braking performance and lead to corrosion within the braking system. A brake fluid flush removes old, contaminated fluid and replaces it with fresh fluid to help maintain safe, reliable braking and extend the life of your brake components.

Do I need to replace my brake rotors when replacing brake pads?

Not always. During your brake inspection, we’ll measure the thickness and condition of your rotors. If they’re worn below manufacturer specifications, warped, cracked, or heavily scored, we’ll recommend replacing them. Otherwise, they may only need resurfacing or can continue to be used safely.

How long does a brake service take?

Most brake services, including brake pad and rotor replacement, can be completed within two to three hours. More extensive repairs or additional diagnostics may take longer, but we’ll provide an accurate estimate before any work begins.
