Brake Service in Okemos, MI

Overview of Brake Services

Our brake system inspection thoroughly checks the master cylinder under the hood and the brakes on all four wheels. We make sure the master cylinder is holding and distributing fluid and hydraulic braking pressure equally to all four wheels. Then, we check the brake pads for thickness and wear. If they are near the end of their service life, brake pad replacement puts new ones on each wheel. Then, we do rotor resurfacing or replacement as needed and ensure each caliper works as designed. If not, you get new calipers to ensure safe stopping power. We finish with a brake fluid exchange that gives you the best possible stopping power at all four wheels.

When Do You Need Brake Service?

Your brakes need service about twice per year to ensure the best stopping power and safest travels. You already know Michigan roads really challenge your wheels and brakes. You might not know that brake fluid has the unique ability to extract water from the air around it. Given the often humid and rainy days in Michigan, each brake caliper takes in a little bit of water over months of travels. That reduces the hydraulic action in each caliper and weakens your brakes. Brake pads also are designed to lose a tiny amount of friction material every time you use the brakes. That preserves the brake rotors and keeps them in good shape. You need brake pad replacement service before the friction pads wears down to the metal backing plate and damage the rotors.
