Brake Repair near Portola, San Francisco

What we replace

Most brake jobs are pads and rotors. Calipers and brake lines wear too, especially on older cars that have sat in salt air or seen brake fluid go past its service life. We will tell you exactly what is worn and what can wait.

• Front and rear brake pads
• Rotors (resurface or replace based on wear)
• Calipers and slide pins
• Brake fluid flush
• Brake lines and master cylinder service
• Parking brake adjustment

Signs you need brake service

If you hear squealing or grinding, feel pulsation through the pedal when you stop, notice the car pulling to one side under braking, or your brake warning light is on, bring it in. Soft or low pedal feel is more serious and worth calling about the same day.

What it costs

Brake pricing varies by vehicle. A typical pad-and-rotor job on a midsize sedan runs in a predictable range, while heavy-duty trucks, performance cars, and electric vehicles cost more because of the parts. We give you a written estimate before we touch the car. No surprise add-ons.

Parts we use

OEM-equivalent or better. We do not put cheap pads on customer cars because they squeal, dust your wheels, and wear out twice as fast. Most of our brake parts are standard-warrantied for 12 months or 12,000 miles.
