Brake Repair Overview

Your choices regarding brake repair are important. At Lonnie’s Automotive, we use only high-quality parts sourced from Bosch or other reputable vendors. This is especially critical for drivers who choose to upgrade to high performance brakes and ceramic replacement pads to meet their driving demands for their European models. When you brake, the pressure you apply to the pedal moves a level and piston, sending brake fluid through lines to a cylinder at each wheel. There, the fluid force moves the caliper that holds the brake pad. The pad contacts the rotor, also called a disc, creating the friction needed to stop your vehicle. In addition to routine preventive services such as brake fluid checks, changes, and flushes, the most common brake repair is brake pad replacement. Most pads are metallic. Although they last a long time, they won’t last forever. A squealing sound should prompt you to schedule a visit with us. Another sign that your brakes need attention is a pull to one side as you brake. Also, you may notice that your brake pedal goes too far toward the floor or feels soft. Vibration during braking is also a clear signal that it’s time for a brake repair appointment. Finally, a burning odor could potentially point toward a stuck brake caliper or an engaged emergency brake. It’s best practice to bring your vehicle in for routine brake services as recommended by the automaker or otherwise dictated by your driving conditions.
