Frequently Asked Questions
What does a grinding noise when I brake mean?
Grinding usually means your brake pads have worn down to metal and are now scraping against the rotor. It's not something to put off — bring it in and we'll check it the same day if we can.
How often should brakes be inspected?
We recommend a quick brake check about every six months, or anytime you notice a change in how your car stops. We'll also take a look whenever your car is in for an oil change.
Do you resurface rotors or always replace them?
Whichever is actually right for your car. We'll recommend resurfacing when it's safe and cost-effective, and replacement when it's not — the choice that protects you, not the one that pads the bill.
Can I keep driving with a soft brake pedal?
No — a soft or sinking pedal can point to a fluid leak or a bigger problem in the brake system. Get it looked at right away rather than risk it.
