BRAKE SERVICE
Keep Your Car Or Truck Running Smoothly
Your brake system is the most essential safety feature on your vehicle. You and your passengers’ safety depends on them. When your car has faulty brakes, it drastically increases the chances of a dangerous situation or accident. If your braking system is squealing, vibrating, or grinding, it’s a good call to inspect them rather than letting the condition worsen.
Signs Your Brakes Need To Be Replaced:
Most drivers understand how their car brakes work in the simplest of terms: you press the brake pedal and the vehicle stops or slows down. Some common car brake problems includes:
- Grinding when you come to a stop
- Vehicle pulls to one side when you brake
- A squeaking or squealing sound
- Brake pedal feels spongy or pressure feels soft
- Shaking steering wheel
- Vehicle vibrates or wobbles when you drive at highway speeds
- Leaking fluid can eventually lead to a loss of brake pressure
- Burning smell while driving or braking
Usually, vehicle brake problems stem from worn rotors or brake pads. When you stop, your rotors disperse heat to prevent your brakes from overheating, while brake pads create friction to help slow your car or truck. Both pieces are essential to keeping your braking system operating effectively.
Low brake fluid levels can also be the culprit of brake problems. This fluid is responsible for transferring the movement of the brake pedal through various components to trigger the brake pads at the wheels hence slowing or stopping the vehicle. This fluid is also essential in protecting the internal metal components of your brakes from rust or corrosion. Low brake fluid can minimize the effectiveness of your car brake system. Contaminated or low brake fluid can cause your brakes to fail while you’re on the road
Brake Service And Inspection:
Prevention is key for avoiding costly auto repairs. If you ever feel uncertain about your brakes, it’s time to get a professional tire and auto mechanic to check your car, SUV, or truck.
Our brake inspection service includes:
- Brake or hydraulic fluid test (condition and level)
- Brake pad thickness (a measurement of front and rear brake pad wear)
- Hardware brake
- Measurement of rotor wear
- Measurement of drum wear
- Brake hoses (these parts wear out often, and need to be checked regularly for wear and tear)
- Emergency/parking brake inspection
During our inspection, we’ll determine whether your car or truck needs any further brake service, such as:
- Replacement of brake drums or rotors
- Replacement of brake hoses, lines, or other brake components
- Installation of new brake shoes or pads
- Brake fluid change
- Brake bleeding
You should get into the habit of visually checking your brakes every so often. You can extend the life of your brakes, including rotors and pads, through regular maintenance and inspection. The driving habits and conditions you have can also have a large impact on the braking system of the car or truck. It’s also important to adjust your driving habits. When stopping, make sure to brake gently and slowly.
Schedule A Brake Inspection Today!
On a daily basis, your car brakes help you safely avoid accidents with other vehicles or collisions with objects. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of keeping your car brakes in good working condition. Brake parts wear out over time. If you might be dealing with a potential brake issue, get a brake inspection before your next road trip.
While it’s easy for most drivers to tell if their brakes already need replacement, our E1 Auto Care mechanics can give more information as to what is wrong. For best performance, it is recommended to check your brakes every 6 months or 6,000 miles. Are you ready to schedule a brake service? Call or Chat E1 Auto Care to book an appointment.

Anytime I need any kind of work done on my car or my wife’s car, I always go here. Adam and his team do an absolutely phenomenal job. I don’t even live near by but I always feel like I’m in good hands bringing my car here. They always give the best customer service. Keep me posted about everything. When I need to leave my car there a few days, I get a call everyday just so they can keep me updated on the progress. Even after everything is done and I picked up my car, I get a call later on in the day to make sure I’m satisfied. Like I said, the best customer service and best work. My car always runs like a champ after I pick it up from this shop.
E1 Auto is the most honest, hardworking mechanic shop that I’ve ever been to. Thank you guys for always providing excellent service!

Excellent Service!!! From the first phone call to the completion of work on my car. Chris was very helpful and so were all the guys working. They educated me on things I was unaware of about my vehicle and completed all work neatly, efficiently and for a reasonable price. I have finally found a great mechanic that I trust. Go check them out.

I cannot say enough good things about this shop. I do all my own work and don't trust other shops to touch my car. I had an electrical issue with my Pontiac that caused a no start condition and left me stranded. I brought it here and they spent a lot of time tracking it down and ultimately got it fixed(bad ignition harness). Andres, Ernest, and Chris were very patient with me and spent a lot of the time on the phone running through diagnostics. I can honeslty say I trust these guys and I will be taking my cars back here from now on if I ever have an issue I can't solve.
