Our Free Brake Inspection Service

We make sure to check every customer’s brakes as part our courtesy inspection. During a brake inspection, we don’t just inspect your brake pads, we examine the rotors and the brake fluid too, to be sure that your brakes are functioning as they should and that there are no warning signs of problems.

Common indicators of a brake problem include

• Noisy brakes – squeaking or screeching sounds
• A burning smell when the brakes are applied
• A rhythmic pulsing, or rumbling or vibration in the steering wheel, especially when you are applying the brakes
• The need to press the brake harder than usual to slow down or stop

Other Signs of Trouble
However, there are many other less obvious signs that your brakes may need attention.

• Your brake pedal seems to be spongy or presses farther to the floor than usual
• Your vehicle pulls to the right or left when you brake
• Your steering wheel is shaking
• Your car is wobbling or pulsating when you drive at highway speeds
• It’s been over a year or 12,000 miles since the last time your brakes were inspected
• You’re near or past the number of miles your vehicle’s manufacturer recommends between brake fluid exchanges
• The brake warning light on your dashboard comes on and stays on
• Your vehicle requires longer distances to stop than it used to
• The brake pedal responds slowly

If you are experiencing any of these signs in your vehicle, EPR is ready to help!  Please give us a call today.

Brake Services – Repair and Replacement

Brakes are designed to wear out. The pads rub on the brake disk to stop your car, so worn pads are the first part to check if you are experiencing any braking problems.  Brake pad replacement is the most common repair job for automotive brake systems, but it is not the only thing that might be needed.

What will my brake service include?

Beyond pads, there are other items to be included in a brake service. Depending on the results of the braking system evaluation, you might need:

• Brake rotors / drums resurfaced
• Brake fluid flush & replacement
• Brake caliper & rotor re-alignment
• Brake caliper replacement
• Brake hose replacement
• Brake master cylinder replacement

Regardless of the problem, we’ll have your brakes fixed and road-safe very quickly and at a reasonable price!
