Brake Service

Brake Services We Offer

Our technicians work on every part of your braking system, including:

Brake inspection: we look at how your brakes are wearing and explain what needs attention now and what can wait.

Brake pad replacement: we replace worn brake pads so your car stops smoothly and evenly.

Rotor service or replacement: we service rotors that can be reused and replace rotors that are too worn or damaged.

Brake fluid service: we replace old brake fluid, which absorbs moisture over time.

Brake noise and warning light diagnosis: we track down the cause of squealing, grinding and brake warning lights on your dashboard.

Not sure the problem is your brakes? Start with a diagnostic.

Call (613) 854-4555 for a quote on any brake service.

Warning Signs

Warning Signs Your Brakes Need Attention

Brakes often show signs of wear before a problem gets serious. Watch for:

Squealing or grinding: you hear a high-pitched squeal or a metal-on-metal grinding sound when you brake.

Pulling to one side: the car drifts left or right when you press the brake pedal.

Soft or spongy pedal: the pedal feels soft or sinks closer to the floor than usual.

Vibration when braking: you feel shaking through the pedal or steering wheel as you slow down.

Brake warning light: a brake warning light comes on in your dashboard.

Longer stopping distance: the car needs more room to stop than it used to.

Burning smell: you notice a burning smell after braking.

If you notice any of these signs, call (613) 854-4555 or book a brake inspection. Brakes that are left too long can wear out other parts, which can turn a simple repair into a bigger one.

Ottawa Winters

Why Brakes Wear Faster in Ottawa

Ottawa winters are hard on brakes.

Road salt and slush stick to rotors, calipers and brake lines, where they speed up rust and corrosion.

Stop-and-go city traffic means more braking, which wears pads and rotors faster than steady highway driving.

Cold-weather moisture adds to the problem, so it pays to have your brakes checked as soon as they start to feel or sound different.
