Inspecting Your Brakes
If your car pulls to the left or right, or it has been some time since your vehicle's last inspection, bring it to American Automotive Services. We'll inspect your brakes and rotors and make the repairs that are needed with your authorization.
Test-Driving Your Brakes
Brake inspections include a test-drive to hear the noises you have reported, feel the brake pedal, and take note of any problems. Then, we bring the car to the garage to check the brake wear and the thickness of your pads, measure the drums and rotors, and compare them to the manufacturer's specifications. We also look for:
- Leaks
- Caliper binding
- Hose damage
- Rear cylinder leaks or binding
- Fluids or discoloration
- Master cylinder leaks
Servicing Your Brakes
Your brakes will be in excellent shape following our brake service. This includes replacing the pads, machining the rotors (if possible), and cleaning and lubricating the caliper slides. We provide a lifetime warranty on brake pads for as long as you own the vehicle.
