Brake Repair

When driving on the streets of St. Paul, sometimes you end up in heaving traffic and braking often.

You hear of the horror stories and we definitely don’t want that to happen to you!

Our technicians have the expertise and tools to diagnose brake issues, replace worn components, and keep everything functioning optimally. The benefit of choosing a professional is that it guarantees safety, as improperly repaired brakes can lead to dangerous driving conditions. With expert care, you’ll enjoy improved braking performance, extended brake life, and peace of mind knowing your vehicle is in safe, reliable condition.

Benefits Of Brake Repair

Brake repair offers many important key benefits to ensure your vehicle remains safe, efficient, and reliable on the road:

  • Enhanced Safety: The most important benefit of brake repair is improved safety. Properly functioning brakes are essential for stopping your vehicle quickly and effectively, helping keep you accident free and ensuring you can respond to unexpected situations on the road.
  • Better Performance: Repairing or replacing worn brake pads, rotors, or other components helps restore optimal braking performance.
  • Extended Brake Lifespan: Timely brake repairs prevent excessive wear on other brake components, like rotors or calipers, saving you money on future repairs. Regular maintenance and repair can help your entire braking system last longer.
  • Prevents Further Damage: Addressing brake issues early, such as replacing worn-out brake pads, helps prevent more costly repairs down the line. For example, driving with worn pads can damage rotors, leading to more expensive repairs or replacements.
  • Improved Fuel Efficiency: Brakes that are functioning properly reduce the strain on the vehicle, helping you make less trips to the gas station. When brake components are in good condition, the vehicle operates more efficiently overall.
  • Increased Resale Value: A well-maintained braking system adds value to your car if you plan to sell or trade it in. Buyers are more likely to trust a vehicle with properly repaired and maintained brakes, increasing its resale value.
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing that your brakes are in good working order gives you peace of mind, especially during long trips or in heavy traffic. You can drive with confidence, knowing your vehicle is ready for any situation.

FAQ

What happens if I don’t repair my brakes in time?
You know the saying – stick your head in the sand? When you ignore brake problems it can lead to bigger problems and cost you more money. Scheduling an appointment to make repairs right away ensures your vehicle remains safe and reliable, preventing potential accidents or breakdowns.
How often should I get my brakes inspected?
It’s recommended to have your brakes inspected at least once a year or every 12,000 miles, especially if you notice any changes in braking performance. Spending time driving in hilly areas or having to be in stop-and-go traffic can wear out your brakes much faster so you may have to have them checked by one of our technicians sooner.
Why does my brake pedal feel soft or spongy?
When you are driving and go to push on the brake and it feels more like your kitchen sponge than the brake, this can mean a problem with your braking system. It’s important to have this checked right away, as it can make a big difference in how fast your vehicle can come to a stop.
What causes brake wear?
Brake wear is going to happen and it is caused by the friction between the brake pads and rotors. Hard or aggressive braking, driving in stop-and-go traffic a lot, and driving on hilly terrain can accelerate brake wear.
