Whatever your brakes need, Village Auto Service has it
Brake Pad Replacement
We remove worn or damaged brake pads and install high-quality, vehicle-specific replacements to ensure effective and reliable stopping power. Our technicians inspect the brake system for proper fit and function, selecting pads that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications to provide optimal friction and heat resistance. This service eliminates squealing, grinding, or reduced braking performance, enhancing safety and extending the life of your brake system components.
Brake Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement
We evaluate brake rotors for warping, grooves, or excessive wear and either resurface them to restore a smooth, flat surface or replace them with new, precision-engineered rotors if damage is too severe. Resurfacing removes imperfections to ensure even brake pad contact, while replacement addresses cracked or thinned rotors. This service improves braking performance, reduces vibrations or pulsation during braking, and ensures compliance with safety standards for confident stopping.
Brake Fluid Flush and Replacement
We flush old, contaminated, or moisture-laden brake fluid from the hydraulic system and replace it with fresh, high-performance fluid that meets your vehicle’s specifications. This service removes air bubbles, dirt, and water that can reduce hydraulic efficiency, cause spongy brakes, or lead to corrosion in brake components. A fluid flush maintains responsive braking, enhances system durability, and ensures consistent performance in all driving conditions.
Brake Caliper Repair or Replacement
We inspect brake calipers for signs of seizing, leaking, or uneven wear, repairing them by replacing seals or pistons if feasible, or installing new, vehicle-specific calipers if damage is extensive. Properly functioning calipers ensure even brake pressure, preventing uneven pad wear or pulling during braking. This service restores smooth, balanced braking, improves safety, and prevents further damage to rotors and pads.
Brake Line Inspection and Repair
We thoroughly check brake lines for leaks, corrosion, cracks, or blockages, using pressure tests and visual inspections to confirm system integrity. If issues are found, we repair or replace damaged sections with high-quality, corrosion-resistant lines tailored to your vehicle. This service prevents brake fluid loss, maintains hydraulic pressure, and ensures reliable braking performance, safeguarding you against sudden brake failure and ensuring road safety.
We leave no questions about your brakes unanswered
Real mechanics who actually care about the safety of your vehicle
What does a brake system service or repair involve, and why is it important?
A brake system service at Village Auto Service involves inspecting and replacing worn brake pads, resurfacing or replacing rotors, flushing and replacing brake fluid, repairing or replacing calipers, and checking brake lines for leaks or corrosion. This is critical for maintaining safe stopping power, preventing brake failure, and ensuring compliance with safety standards. Regular maintenance addresses wear and tear, eliminates issues like squealing or vibrations, and extends the life of your brake system, keeping you and others safe on the road.
How often should I have my brakes serviced or repaired?
Brake service frequency depends on your vehicle, driving habits, and conditions, but a general guideline is to inspect brakes every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers or annually, with pad replacements typically needed every 40,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Brake fluid should be flushed every 2-3 years. At Village Auto Service, our technicians evaluate your brake system’s condition and recommend a tailored maintenance schedule to prevent wear-related issues and ensure consistent, reliable braking performance.
What are the signs that my brake system needs service or repair?
Warning signs of brake issues include squeaking or grinding noises, a spongy or soft brake pedal, vibrations or pulsation when braking, a longer stopping distance, or a brake warning light on your dashboard. These may indicate worn pads, warped rotors, low fluid, or leaking lines. Village Auto Service uses advanced diagnostics to identify the problem and performs targeted repairs, such as pad replacement or fluid flushes, to restore safe and responsive braking.
How long does a brake system service or repair take, and will it improve my vehicle’s safety?
A brake system service or repair at Village Auto Service typically takes 1-3 hours, depending on the scope (e.g., pad replacement is quicker than caliper repair or rotor replacement). This service significantly enhances safety by restoring optimal stopping power, eliminating vibrations, and ensuring even braking. For example, new pads and rotors improve responsiveness, while a fluid flush prevents hydraulic issues, giving you confidence in your vehicle’s ability to stop quickly and safely in any situation.
