Brake Service

When it comes to automobile safety, some of the most common areas of concern lie with the braking system. At Walnut Creek Import Service and Sales, we want our Walnut Creek customers to understand the importance of scheduling routine brake service. This system is made up of rotors, calipers, hoses and pistons. Our work includes pad replacement, shoe replacement and caliper replacement. During inspections of your auto, we may discover the need to resurface rotors. These steps protect the rest of the system from damage due to constant wear and tear. Your vehicle may also require line repair or fluid flushes. Whenever you suspect any trouble, schedule an inspection or brake repair visit.

Warning Signs Your Vehicle Needs an Inspection or Brake Pad Replacement

Whether you have an antilock brake system (ABS) or some other type in your car, it’s important to take action as soon as you suspect trouble. Some of the most common signs that you need inspections or corrective work include a slowed reaction time as you press on the pedal, pulling to either side as you try to slow your vehicle and unusual noises or vibrations when you slow down. Maybe you’ve noticed a squealing sound while braking. If that is the case, this is a warning to schedule a service visit.
