How do I know if it's urgent?

Grinding, a sinking pedal or a brake warning light are reasons to call right away. A light squeal is worth checking soon.

Do I always need new rotors with new pads?

Not always. If the rotors are still within spec and in good shape, they may not need replacing. We'll show you what we see.

Why do my brakes squeal even though they're new?

It can be the pad material, hardware or the way the pads have bedded in. We'll check whether it's normal or a sign of a problem.

How long does a brake job take?

Many brake jobs are done the same day. We'll give you a time when we quote the work.

Why does my steering wheel shake when I brake?

That's often a sign of uneven rotor wear. It's worth having checked.

Brake Repair in Las Vegas

Your brakes shouldn't make you guess. If they sound or feel different than they used to, bring your vehicle in. We'll check the whole system and tell you what needs attention now and what can wait.

The service

Brake work is more than pads. A full brake job looks at the parts that press, grip and stop the wheel, and at the hydraulic system that makes it all work when you push the pedal.
