Brake Inspection
Regular brake inspections are essential for your safety. At The Detroit Garage, our thorough brake inspection includes:

  • Visual Inspection: Brake components, such as pads, rotors, calipers, lines and the fluid reservoir, are thoroughly inspected for any signs of wear, damage or leakage that could affect braking performance.

  • Brake Pad Thickness Measurement: The thickness of the brake pads is measured to determine their remaining lifespan. Worn pads can reduce your vehicle’s stopping power and may need to be replaced.

  • Rotor Inspection: Brake rotors are inspected for warping, uneven wear or scoring. Damaged or worn rotors can reduce braking efficiency and may need replacement.

  • Brake Caliper Assessment: Brake calipers are evaluated to ensure they operate smoothly without sticking or applying uneven pressure to the pads. Malfunctioning calipers can result in uneven brake wear or a spongy pedal feel.

  • Brake Line and Hose Inspection: Brake lines and hoses are assessed for leaks, cracks or damage that could affect brake fluid pressure or result in brake failure. Identifying these issues early allows for timely repairs or replacements.

  • Brake Fluid Analysis: The condition and level of the brake fluid are reviewed to identify contamination or low levels, which could signal a leak or the need for a flush and replacement.

Test Drive and Brake Performance Evaluation:
To confirm the overall functionality of your brakes, our technicians may conduct a test drive to assess the braking system’s performance, responsiveness, and noise levels.

Brake Pad Replacement
As brake pads wear down over time, they can impact your vehicle’s stopping power. Our technicians carefully evaluate and replace your brake pads with high-quality parts, ensuring smooth and reliable braking performance and giving you confidence on the road.

Rotor Replacement
Brake rotors are crucial for effective braking, offering a smooth surface for the brake pads to grip and bring your vehicle to a stop. Worn or damaged rotors can reduce braking efficiency and increase stopping distances. Replacing them guarantees smooth and reliable braking, ensuring you have peace of mind with every stop.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) helps you stay in control during hard braking, particularly on slippery or uneven surfaces. It prevents wheel lockup, allowing you to steer even while braking forcefully. If your ABS isn’t working properly, you may lose control in emergencies. Regular diagnostics and repairs ensure your ABS operates effectively, enabling you to handle challenging driving conditions with confidence.

Signs You Need Brake Service Right Away

Unusual sounds or changes in braking performance can indicate underlying issues with your braking system. Addressing these signs promptly can prevent more severe problems and ensure your vehicle remains safe and reliable.

Squeaking or Grinding Noises
These noises usually signal worn brake pads or other braking system issues. Ignoring them can decrease braking efficiency, increase stopping distances and lead to potential brake failure. Prolonged use of worn brakes can also damage other components, like rotors, resulting in more expensive repairs and compromising your vehicle’s safety.

Vibration When Braking
Do you notice a vibration or pulsation when pressing the brake pedal? This could indicate warped rotors, impacting your vehicle’s braking performance. Addressing this issue promptly can prevent further damage to your rotors and brake pads, avoid costly repairs and, most importantly, ensure your safety and that of others on the road.

Longer Stopping Distances
If you need more distance to stop completely, it’s likely due to worn or deteriorating brake components. This reduced braking power can hinder your ability to respond quickly to sudden stops or hazards. Our team can accurately diagnose the issue and perform the necessary repairs to restore your vehicle’s stopping power.
