High Mile Automotive Brake Services
From brake lines to brake calipers, from master cylinders to wheel cylinders, we work on all braking systems: disc brakes, drum brakes, and electronic brakes. Your braking system is debatably the most important safety feature of your car. Having the ability to eventually stop and being able to stop fast and effectively are two different things that can mean the difference between an accident and making it to your destination safely. Keeping your brakes operating properly in between replacements can be achieved by doing a routine caliper/drum service which also increases the life of the brake friction material.
Here are some common signs of failing brakes
- Dashboard lights or warnings
- Leaking brake fluid - Any fluid leak should be inspected
- Any change in brake response
- Any new noise when braking - Squealing, grinding
- Any shaking or vibration when braking - Rough stops may mean warped rotors. (A pulsing pedal can simply be your ABS)
- Soft or spongy brakes - Needing to press the pedal in further
- Hard or stiff brakes - Needing more force to press the pedal
- Vehicle pulling to one side when braking
