Inspection & Diagnosis

A thorough examination of the entire braking system to identify any issues, including brake pad wear, fluid leaks, or other problems.

Anti-lock (ABS) Brake Systems

Diagnosis, repair, and maintenance of anti-lock brake systems, which are designed to prevent wheel lockup during hard braking, enhancing control and safety.

Brake pads are replaced in disc brake systems, where they create friction against brake rotors to stop the vehicle. Brake shoes, on the other hand, are components in drum brake systems and are replaced when they wear down, as they create friction against the inside of brake drums to slow down the vehicle.

Resurfacing / Machining

Brake Hose Replacement

Replacing damaged or deteriorated brake hoses, which carry brake fluid between various components of the braking system.
