Stay Safe with Reliable Brake Repair & Service in Kent WA

As one of the most vital safety features on your vehicle, it’s important to keep your brake system well-maintained. When you need to come to a stop, there shouldn’t be any question about whether your brakes will work properly. 

To keep your brakes performing their best, it’s important to have them inspected periodically and have brake pad replacements performed at regular intervals. Brake pads are designed to wear down over time; once the friction material is worn down enough, you’ll need to have the pads replaced. If you wait too long to replace worn brake pads, it can cause damage to the rotors. 

However, there’s more to brake repair & service than just brake pad replacement! Brake rotors and calipers can become warped, hoses and lines can become damaged and cause leaks, and brake fluid can be contaminated. Regardless of what your vehicle needs, you can trust our skilled technicians to get your brake system in perfect working order. Here are some common signs it’s time to schedule a brake inspection:

  • It takes longer than normal to come to a complete stop
  • Squealing, grinding, or clicking noises when you press the brake pedal
  • The nose of your car pulls to one side when you brake
  • Vibration in the brake pedal or steering wheel 
  • The brake warning light is on
  • Brake fluid leaks
  • A soft brake pedal
  • A chemical or burning smell after hard braking

If you’ve noticed any of the above signs, schedule an appointment today!

Super nice people, Conner was at the front desk as well as another person but I didn’t catch her name. Both were helpful. The shop couldn’t repair my issue due to the manufacturer requiring specific tools. They did a safety inspection and didn’t charge me for it or for the diagnostics since they couldn’t perform the fix!
