Comprehensive Brake System Services
Expert Care for Every Component
At Barnett's Garage, we look far beyond just a simple "pad slap." We provide a complete inspection and service of your entire braking system to ensure every part functions in perfect harmony.
Our process starts with the brake pads and rotors; we measure the remaining material and surface condition, replacing worn pads with high-quality ceramic or semi-metallic options and resurfacing or replacing rotors to eliminate pulsation. We meticulously inspect calipers—the hydraulic clamps that squeeze the pads—cleaning and lubricating the slide pins to prevent sticking and uneven wear. We also check brake lines and hoses for any signs of corrosion, dry rot, or leaks that could lead to hydraulic failure. Finally, if your dashboard warning light is on, we utilize advanced diagnostics to troubleshoot the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), ensuring your sensors and control modules are ready to prevent wheel lockup during emergency stops.
Brake Maintenance
Essential For Your Safety
There is no system in your vehicle more important than your brakes. While an engine failure might leave you stranded, a brake failure can result in a life-altering accident. Routine brake maintenance is not just about eliminating that annoying squeak—it is about ensuring you have the shortest possible stopping distance when it matters most. Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture (lowering its boiling point) and pads wear thin, subtly increasing the time it takes to stop. By staying on top of maintenance, you ensure that when a child chases a ball into the street or traffic suddenly halts on the highway, your vehicle responds instantly, keeping you, your passengers, and your community safe.
