Brakes are the one repair nobody should put off, and the one most people get quoted vaguely. We put the car on a lift, measure what is left, and show you the worn part before we quote a figure.
Ceramic or semi-metallic pads to suit how you drive, with coated rotors, new hardware and lubricant.
Seized calipers, torn boots and soft or corroded hoses, the parts that make a pedal feel wrong even with new pads.
A flush and bleed at all four corners when the fluid has darkened or taken on moisture.
Cables, shoes and steel lines, including the rusted sections a Michigan winter tends to find first.
Most pad and rotor jobs are finished the same day. If your vehicle needs a part we do not stock, we will tell you before you leave the car.
Not always. We measure rotor thickness and check for scoring, if they are within spec and running true, pads alone are the honest answer.
Yes. Ask when you approve the work and we will set the old parts aside for you.
Anywhere from 25,000 to 70,000 miles, and the spread is mostly how you drive rather than what the pads cost. Stop-and-go miles across Detroit wear them far faster than highway miles do. Mileage is a guide rather than an answer: the only thing that settles it is the thickness measured off the car, which you get in writing at every inspection here.
It depends on the vehicle, on whether the rotors can be machined or reused, and on which tier of pad you want, which is why we measure first and quote after. You get one written figure covering parts and labor before anything is touched. What you will not get is a number over the phone that changes once the wheels are off.
Walk-ins welcome six days a week. The inspection is free whether or not you have the work done.
