Brake Repair & Services
- SafetyGetting your brakes checked regularly can make your vehicle safer to drive. A properly functioning brake system helps you control your vehicle in a variety of driving conditions.
- CostRegular brake checks can help you avoid expensive repairs by fixing small problems before they become bigger.
- Stopping distanceBrake pads and other components can wear away gradually, so you might not notice a difference in your stopping distance until you need to stop suddenly.
- Fuel economyHard braking can lead to poor fuel economy.
- Other benefitsRegular brake service can also improve your vehicle’s value, make it quieter, and help with inspections.
- Brake warning light: This is a clear sign that your brakes need to be checked immediately.
- Vibration: If you feel your car shaking when you brake, the rotors may not be smooth anymore.
- Pulling to one side: If your vehicle pulls to one side when you brake, the brake lining may be wearing unevenly.
- Grinding: Grinding noises indicate that your brake pads may be worn through.
- Burning smell: A sharp chemical odor while driving could be a sign that your brake pads or brake fluid need to cool down.
- Squeaking: Many brake pads have wear indicators that scrape against the rotor when the brake pad wears down.
- Clicking: If your brake pads are loose, they may start to rattle.
- Stopping takes longer: This is known as “brake fade” and can happen when you apply the brakes over a long distance without coming to a full stop.

Oil is the lifeblood of your engine. It reduces friction, lessens wear, provides lubrication, forms a seal between the pistons, rings and cylinder walls while helping to cool engine parts. Without the cleaning action of new oil, carbon and varnish buildup would be toxic to the engine. And engine oil even dampens the shock and noise of moving parts.
