Know Your Brakes
Your braking system goes far beyond the pads. Modern vehicle braking systems include calipers, pads, rotors, fittings, lines, tubing, cables, electronic actuators, ABS modules, shims, wheel speed sensors, hydraulic pumps, distribution valves, and more. All of these components must be in perfect working order to ensure you and your passengers remain safe.
At Accutune, our ASE certified technicians use industry leading equipment, parts, and processes in order to guarantee your safety.
"Do I need Brake Repair?"
Here's How to Tell
Brake problems typically show warning signs. If you notice just one of these symptoms, it's time for an inspection:
-
Squeaking, growling, or grinding when braking
-
Pedal feels soft, low, spongy, or has delayed reaction
-
Steering wheel or seat vibration during braking
-
Vehicle is pulling to one side while braking
-
increased driving noise that changes when braking
-
Decreased braking performance or increased stopping distance
Ignoring these warnings can lead to more expensive repairs and very dangerous situations. Have our ASE-certified techs check your vehicle out if anything feels wrong.
Why Routine Brake Service Matters for Your Vehicle
1. Prioritize Safety on the Road
Your braking system is one of the most critical components of your vehicle. When pads, rotors, or other parts start to wear down, your stopping distance increases and your overall control decreases—putting you and others at risk.
2. Avoid Expensive Repairs Later
Minor brake issues are usually affordable to fix, but ignoring them can lead to major damage, such as failing calipers, master cylinder damage, and fluid contamination. Routine inspections help catch problems before they become costly repairs.
3. Improve Driving Performance
A properly maintained braking system provides smooth, responsive stopping power. This results in a safer, more comfortable driving experience.
4. Extend the Life of Your Brake Components
Regular service keeps your brake system functioning efficiently, helping pads, rotors, and other parts last longer and saving you money over time.
5. Reduce Wear on Other Vehicle Systems
When your brakes aren’t working as they should, it can put extra stress on your suspension, tires, and drivetrain. Keeping your brakes in top shape helps protect the rest of your vehicle.
6. Drive with Confidence
Knowing your brakes are inspected and performing correctly gives you peace of mind every time you get behind the wheel.
Why Should you Maintain your Braking System?
The Hidden Costs of Not Maintaining Your Brakes
1. Greater Risk of Accidents
Your vehicle's braking system is the most crucial component to keeping you and your family safe. Scheduling a brake inspection can insure that your vehicle isn't putting you and others at risk.
2. Decreased Fuel Efficiency
If your brakes are dragging or not releasing properly, your engine has to work harder. This extra strain can noticeably reduce your gas mileage.
3. Added Wear on Other Vehicle Components
Poorly functioning brakes can stress your suspension, tires, and drivetrain, creating additional problems and unexpected repair costs.
4.Higher Repair Bills Down the Road
Ignoring simple brake pad and rotor replacements can lead to serious damage to calipers, parking brakes, or even brake lines—repairs that are far more expensive than routine service.
5. Reduced Lifespan of Brake Components
When brake issues go unchecked, parts wear out faster or unevenly—meaning you’ll end up replacing components more often.
6. Inconvenient Breakdowns and Delays
Major brake failures can leave you stranded, leading to towing expenses, lost time, and missed appointments.
From the wheels up:
Service Overviews
Brake Pad Replacement
Brake pads are the main wear item in your braking system. We replace them with a quality ceramic pad, leading to longer life, less noise, and better performance.
Brake Caliper Repair
Sticking, leaking, or seized calipers can cause brake overheating, vibration, and lack of stopping power. Our ASE-Certified techs diagnose these problems quickly to ensure equal braking pressure, system reliability, and vehicle safety.
Complete Brake System Inspection
Every brake service includes a complete vehicle inspection, allowing us to catch issues before they leave you stranded. Digital Vehicle Inspections (DVI) are available upon request, showing you first hand what's happening with your vehicle.
Brake Booster Replacement
Your vehicle's brake booster allows braking force to be vastly increased while you remain comfortable in the driver's seat. This component is one of many crucial to bringing your vehicle to a safe stop.
Brake Rotor Service
Warped or faulty rotors can cause premature pad wear, brake fade/overheating, pulsing, squealing, and extended braking time. We typically recommend rotor replacement when changing pads to ensure many worry-free miles ahead.
Brake Line Service
Ruptured, corroded, or damaged brake lines can lead to complete system failure. We inspect your vehicles lines for leaks, rust, and strength making sure they'll do their part in bringing you to a safe stop.
Brake Fluid Service
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which weakens hydraulic force and can corrode internal components. We flush and replace old fluid with new, protecting your system and keep the pedal feel consistent.
ABS System Warning Light Repair
Our industry-leading diagnostic tools allow us to pinpoint why your ABS(Anti-lock Braking System) light is on, recommend an accurate repair, and get your ABS System back online.
