Pads, rotors, calipers and brake fluid. We pull the wheels, measure what's actually worn, show you the parts, and give you a firm number before any work starts. If your rear pads have a season left, we tell you that.
Quoted before we touch anything
Brake pricing depends on your vehicle and which parts are actually worn, so we don't post teaser prices. You approve a firm number first. Parts we trust: Textar, Raybestos, Bosch.

The honest version of the most common brake question. We measure and show you the parts before either answer.
| Pads only | Pads + rotors | |
|---|---|---|
| When it fits | Rotors still above minimum thickness and wearing evenly, no pulsing in the pedal. | Rotors at minimum, scored, or you feel a shudder when braking. |
| What you'll notice | Full braking back, quiet. | Same — plus the steering-wheel shudder goes away. |
| Cost | Lower now. | More now, but it skips a second labour bill later. |
| The catch | New pads on worn rotors can wear fast and squeal. | None when the rotors are actually done — that's why we measure first. |

Something we didn't cover? Call (343) 459-3790 and ask.
How long do brake pads last?
Typically 40,000–80,000 km depending on how and where you drive. We measure them with every oil change.
Do I need rotors with pads?
Not always. If yours can be safely reused, we say so. We replace what's worn, not what's convenient.
Can I drive with grinding brakes?
Please don't. Grinding means metal on metal. Stopping distance suffers and the repair gets more expensive every day.
How fast can you get me in?
Usually this week. Brakes jump the queue — call and the receptionist finds you a slot.
Do I get a price before you start?
Always. We inspect first, quote you the number, and nothing happens until you approve it.
