Brake Inspection & Repair
Brakes are the one system nobody wants to gamble on, and stop-and-go driving on Beach Boulevard, PCH and the 405 wears them steadily. We inspect the whole system, tell you honestly how much life is left, and only recommend what actually needs attention.
Common signs & symptoms
- Squealing or squeaking when you brake
- Grinding or scraping (often metal on metal)
- A soft, spongy or low brake pedal
- Car pulls to one side under braking
- Vibration or pulsing in the pedal or steering wheel
- Brake warning light on the dash
How we handle it
With the car on a lift we measure pad thickness, check rotors for wear and warping, inspect calipers, hoses and lines for leaks, and look at the condition of the brake fluid. We are happy to show you the worn parts so you can see the difference for yourself. You get a written estimate that separates what needs to be done now from what can wait.
Good to know
Grinding usually means the pads are gone and the rotors are taking damage, so the sooner you come in, the less it tends to cost. Our article 7 brake warning signs you shouldn't ignore covers what each symptom usually means.
