What's involved

What this repair actually is.

We replace both the pads and the rotors on one axle in a single job, clean and lubricate the caliper hardware, and road-test the car. Doing both together means the new pads bed into fresh, flat rotors — no pulsation, no noise, and full braking power from day one.

Symptoms

How you can tell.

  • Grinding when braking
  • Steering wheel or pedal pulsates when stopping
  • Deep grooves visible on the rotor face
  • Pads worn out and rotors already resurfaced before
  • Shaking at highway speeds when braking
If you delay

Braking distances keep growing and a metal-on-metal stop can damage the calipers, adding hundreds to the repair.
