What brake services do you do?

Complete brake jobs (new pads and rotors together), calipers, brake hoses and lines, and brake fluid service, plus the inspection that confirms what is causing your symptom. We check the calipers, hardware, hoses, and fluid during that inspection, so nothing that affects your brakes gets missed.

What does grinding or squealing when I brake mean?

Squealing is often the wear indicator telling you the pads are getting thin. Grinding usually means the pad is gone and metal is riding on the rotor. We inspect the brakes and send you photos of what we find before any work.

Will you replace my brakes if they do not need it?

No. We inspect and show you photos of what we find. If your brakes do not need work, we tell you that. When they do, we replace pads and rotors together, so the repair lasts and stays quiet.

What warranty comes with a brake job?

Pads and rotors, with or without a brake fluid flush, are backed 24 months / 24,000 miles. When the brake job also includes calipers, brake hoses, and a brake fluid flush, it is backed 36 months / 36,000 miles, parts and labor. Any brake job short of all five (pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, and flush) is backed 24 months / 24,000 miles. Your written estimate shows which one applies before you approve anything.

What does brake repair cost in Lynchburg?

Real repair from our shop

Grinding Brakes on a 2018 Kia Sorento: Pads Worn to Metal

Vehicle: 2018 Kia Sorento LX
Symptom: Grinding noise when braking
What we checked: Full brake inspection, documented with photos sent to the owner
What we found: Rear pads worn through to metal, grinding on a grooved, rusted rotor
Why it mattered: Once the pad is gone, metal grinds on metal. Braking suffers and the rotor gets cut up.
Outcome: The owner saw the photos, approved the work, and we did a complete rear brake job: new pads and new rotors.
