Brakes & Brake Repair

Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement

Squealing brakes are often the first sign that your brake pads are wearing down. If the pads are completely worn, you may hear a harsh metal-on-metal grinding sound, which can damage rotors or drums. While some people attempt DIY repairs, brake issues should always be checked by a professional to avoid further damage and ensure your safety.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

Your ABS system prevents wheel lock-up during hard braking, helping maintain control on the road. If your ABS warning light turns on, bring your vehicle to Cool Rite Auto Repair so we can diagnose the issue and restore proper function.

Brake Hoses

Brake hoses carry pressurized brake fluid throughout the system. A damaged or leaking hose can lead to slower braking or complete brake failure. Hoses don’t require frequent replacement, but any signs of cracking or wear should be addressed right away to maintain proper brake performance.

Brake Fluid Flush

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which reduces braking power and can cause internal corrosion. Regular brake fluid flushes help keep your system responsive and protect key components. Our technicians can recommend the right maintenance schedule based on your vehicle and driving habits.

Caliper Replacement

Calipers hold your brake pads and squeeze them against the rotor when you apply the brakes. Faulty brake calipers can cause uneven braking, pulling, or loss of control—especially in poor weather conditions. If you experience these symptoms, contact us immediately for an inspection.

Rotor Resurfacing

Rotors develop grooves and uneven surfaces due to normal wear. Resurfacing rotors can smooth out imperfections, reduce noise, and improve stopping performance. We’ll inspect your rotors and let you know whether resurfacing or replacement is the best option.
