Brakes Service in Westfield, IN

Stop Smoothly, Drive Confidently

At [Sub:BusinessName], we prioritize your safety on the road. We understand that your brakes are more than just a car part – they're the cornerstone of your vehicle's control. They're the difference between a smooth, controlled stop and a potentially dangerous situation.  That's why we offer comprehensive brake services to ensure your car comes to a complete halt safely every single time, protecting you, your passengers, and everyone sharing the road.  

Our certified Westfield technicians will not only inspect your brakes for wear and tear, but also identify any underlying issues to keep your car operating smoothly and predictably, mile after mile.

Signs You Need a Brake Check

Ignoring brake problems can be dangerous. Here's how to know if it's time to schedule a brake inspection at Christian Brothers Automotive Westfield:

  • Screeching or Grinding Noises: This is a classic symptom of worn-out brake pads. When the pads get thin, a metal indicator scrapes against your rotors, causing that awful noise.
  • Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal: A brake pedal that feels mushy instead of firm could indicate a leak in the brake fluid system or worn-out brake pads.
  • Pulling to One Side While Braking: This can be caused by a seized caliper, uneven brake pad wear, or other issues. It's crucial to get this addressed as soon as possible for safe driving.
  • Vehicle Takes Longer to Stop: If you notice a decrease in stopping power, it could be a sign of worn-out brake pads, warped rotors, or a problem with the brake fluid.
  • Brake Warning Light on the Dashboard: This light is a clear signal from your car's computer system that something is wrong with the brake system. Don't ignore it!

Why Is My Abs light On?

Does your dashboard display a lit ABS light? This means your Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) might not be functioning properly. ABS is a crucial safety feature that helps prevent wheel lockup during hard braking, especially on slippery roads. 

If the ABS light is on, it's important to get your braking system checked by a qualified mechanic to ensure your safety on the road.  Our Westfield technicians can diagnose and fix the underlying issue to get your ABS back up and running.
