Brakes
A Free brake inspection before any work is performed.
Check pads and shoes for wear and
replace if necessary.
Check brake lines and hoses for leaks,
kinks or blockages.
Check all wheel cylinders and replace or rebuild, if necessary. (*additional cost may apply)
Check the calipers and replace or
rebuild, if necessary.
Check drums and rotors for excessive wear, run-out and thickness variation.
Machine drums or rotors to provide proper surface finish.
Hardware worn beyond service limits or fatigued should be replaced to insure system integrity. (Most car manufactures recommend flushing the brake system on a regular basis. Corrosion can increase the cost of brake system repairs significantly) (*additional cost may apply)
Check brake fluid in the master cylinder. Make sure it is clear and at the full level. If needed, fill master cylinder reservoir to the proper level with new brake fluid from a sealed container, or flush brake system to eliminate contaminants out of the system.
Most manufactures recommend a brake fluid flush every 24,000 miles or at time
of a brake job.
