Comprehensive Brake Inspection & Repair
At Christian Brothers Automotive Lakeway, we understand that your vehicle's brakes are a crucial part of ensuring your safety on the road. We're committed to providing comprehensive and reliable brake services to keep your car running smoothly and securely.
Here's what you can expect when you bring your vehicle to us for a brake inspection:
- Brake Pad Thickness: We'll measure the thickness of your brake pads to ensure they still have plenty of life left in them. Thinner brake pads can lead to reduced braking performance and potentially damage other parts of your braking system.
- Brake/Hydraulic Fluid (Level and Condition): We'll check the level and condition of your brake fluid. This is crucial as low or contaminated brake fluid can lead to poor braking performance.
- Brake Hoses: These components often wear out and need to be checked regularly. We'll inspect your brake hoses for any signs of wear and tear that could lead to leaks or reduced braking efficiency.
- Rotor Wear: We'll examine your rotors for any signs of wear or warping. Worn out rotors can cause your vehicle to vibrate when you apply the brakes and can also result in longer stopping distances.
Our goal is to ensure that your vehicle's braking system is operating at its best. After our thorough inspection, we'll recommend any necessary repairs, always prioritizing your safety and satisfaction. Trust Christian Brothers Automotive Lakeway with your car's brake services, because your safety is our top priority.
