Signs your brakes need service
Brake repair is most effective when done at the first sign of difficulty. Brake problems often include:
- Feeling a pull in a different direction while braking.
- Brakes that screech or make squeaking noises.
- A burning odor when driving.
- A brake pedal that is spongy.
- Reduced sensitivity while braking.
- The brake warning light has been illuminated.
It’s important to pay attention to your brakes and get them checked out if they start acting strange. Please contact Padron Automotive, your trusted auto repair shop, to set up an appointment before the problem escalates and requires a costly replacement.
Brake pad replacement services
The brake pads absorb the bulk of the force generated by your braking system. It’s hardly unexpected that things break down after so much use. Brake pads have a lifespan of about 50,000 miles, give or take, depending on the car you drive, how often you brake, and the quality of the brake pads. Different brake pads have varying lifespans because of the types of materials and manufacturing processes used by various manufacturers.
If you are unsure of when you should change your brake pads, you should bring your car in, and we can examine them and let you know how much longer they have left. This will help you be ready for when you need to replace them. Stop by Padron Automotive, where our mechanics will examine your brakes and give you a more accurate estimate of how many miles you have remaining on your current brake pads.
Types of brake repair services we offer
Padron Automotive provides a full range of auto repair services to keep your vehicle safe and dependable, and our skilled technicians handle all types of brake service for cars and light trucks. Our team is committed to quality repair work and long-term customer satisfaction, helping you stay ahead of issues through routine maintenance and timely inspections.
Rotor resurfacing and replacement
Your brakes rely on smooth, even rotors to deliver consistent stopping power. We inspect your rotors and either resurface or replace them when needed to restore safety and eliminate vibrations.
Drum brake resurfacing
For vehicles equipped with drum brakes, we clean and machine the drums to remove scoring and uneven wear. This service improves braking response and extends the life of your brake shoes.
Brake pad replacement
Worn brake pads reduce stopping power and can damage other parts of the braking system. We install high-quality pads designed for your car or truck, giving you smoother, quieter, and safer braking performance.
Brake line bleeding
Air pockets in the brake lines lead to a soft pedal and reduced control. Our technicians remove trapped air and restore proper hydraulic pressure so your brakes respond the way they should.
Brake fluid flush
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which affects performance and internal components. We flush out the contaminated fluid and replace it with clean, fresh fluid that meets or exceeds manufacturer standards.
Brake inspections and maintenance
Our auto repair team provides thorough brake inspections to keep your vehicle safe and performing the way it should. We examine pads, rotors, drums, hoses, calipers, brake fluid levels, and all related hardware to identify early signs of wear before they turn into costly repairs. Regular brake maintenance is essential for protecting your car, improving stopping power, and extending the life of your braking components.
If it’s been a while since your last checkup, we recommend scheduling a routine brake inspection to stay ahead of problems and maintain year-round safety on the road. Call us at 785-645-2017 to schedule an appointment.
