BRAKE SERVICES

BRAKE SERVICE FOR SAN ANGELO, TEXAS

Your safety and that of your family depends on reliable brakes. Brake pads need to be replaced as they become worn down, which usually happens between 25,000 and 45,000 miles for cars and 20,000 and 30,000 miles for trucks.

Often times, the dashboard in your vehicle will indicate when you need brake servicing through a light or indicator. If your car does not have this feature, there are other ways that your car can hint that your brakes need service without any indication from the dashboard:

The brake pedal response is slow.
Grinding, squeaking, etc. can be heard.
The brake pedal shakes when pressed.
Leaking brake fluid or having to top off brake fluid

CHOOSE CADDO STREET WHEEL ALIGNMENT & BRAKE SHOP, INC FOR YOUR BRAKE SERVICE & MORE!

The professionals at Caddo Street Wheel Alignment & Brake Shop, Inc recommend getting your brakes inspected when your wheels are off for a tire rotation. For best tire life, it’s best to rotate your tires and check your brakes at least every 5,000-7,500 miles. When your wheels are off for a tire rotation, it’s much easier for our technicians to inspect your vehicle’s brake pads and rotors.

When we check your brake system, we include a thorough examination of all brake system components, including the pedal, cylinders, lines, brake fluid, and calipers. We also perform a thickness and condition evaluation of your pads and rotors. This will help us to determine what type of brake service you will need. It’s less expensive to replace brake pads than damaged rotors. For additional guidance, you can consult your owner's manual and tire warranty.

GET YOUR FAULTY BRAKE LINES FIXED WITH US!

When your vehicle’s brake lines are worn out and you need a custom replacement, call us. The majority of trucks and cars out on the roads have hydraulic braking systems. A hydraulic braking system works by moving fluid through the master cylinder to the brake calipers. The brake calipers exert pressure onto the brake rotors which then slows or stops the vehicle. This fluid used to stop your vehicle is transferred through the brake lines. This means that your brake lines play an essential role in your efficiency and safety when driving.

It is our job to make sure that every vehicle we service has properly working custom brake lines. Our technicians are very skilled at fixing and installing custom lines in any kind of vehicle. If you suspect an issue, don’t wait. Having faulty brake lines means you also have faulty brakes. This can become very dangerous and puts you at an even higher risk of getting into an accident.

SIGNS YOU ARE IN NEED OF BRAKE SERVICE

Not sure whether or not you need your brake lines fixed? look for these signs and give us a call to service your vehicle as soon as possible:

Leaking Brake Fluid: if you notice any leaks under your car, examine the fluid. If it is clear in color, has a dry oil feel to it and smells like castor oil, you're most likely dealing with brake fluid
Brake Fluid Light Is On: this is a helpful feature on cars that will let you know right away when there may be a problem
You Can Push Your Brake Pedal to The Ground: if it takes a long time for you to stop, then please call our team right away, things will only get worse
You Notice Corrosion on The Brake Lines: if you are able to take a look at your brake lines yourself and notice moisture or corrosion, they may be leaking fluid

Don't wait until the last possible minute to call us for brake service. Brakes are very important and if you notice something uneasy, it's better to not wait so you don't find yourself rear-ending someone, or worse. We can provide you with the custom brake lines you need.

ROTOR TURNING SERVICES

Rotor turning is performed to remove extra material from brakes that interferes with brake pad functioning in areas where it has become worn out. Having your rotors turned as needed is important because it improves accuracy when you do go to stop and makes for a smoother transition.

Depending on how long you have had your rotors for and the shape they are in, they may need to be replaced entirely. We will inspect and test your vehicle’s braking precision to determine what will be the best way to fix the problem.

If you suspect or notice that your rotors have rough spots or warping, then you should bring your car in to have them checked as soon as you can. Having a vehicle that functions as it should and is safe is our number one concern. Our certified service technicians will assess any potential problem areas and will then make the necessary repairs.
