What Does a
Brake Inspection Include?
Our comprehensive brake inspection provides a detailed assessment of your car’s braking system. Here’s what you can expect:
- Thorough Visual Inspection: Our certified mechanics will meticulously inspect your brake pads, rotors or drums, calipers, and other braking components for signs of wear, corrosion, leaks, or damage.
- Brake Pad Measurement: We’ll measure the remaining brake pad thickness and compare it to the manufacturer’s recommended replacement specifications.
- Rotor/Drum Thickness Check: The rotors or drums will be inspected for excessive wear or warping that could compromise braking performance.
- Hydraulic System Inspection: This includes checking the brake fluid level and condition, looking for leaks or contamination that could affect braking efficiency.
- Test Drive (if necessary): In some cases, a test drive might be performed by a mechanic to assess the overall feel and responsiveness of the braking system during operation.
Signs You Might Need a Brake Inspection:
Don’t wait until your brakes completely fail! Here are some warning signs that indicate your car might need a brake inspection:
- Unusual Noises: Grinding, squeaking, or other abnormal noises when braking can signal worn brake pads or other issues.
- Brake Pedal Vibrations: Feeling vibrations in the brake pedal during braking can indicate warped rotors or other problems.
- Increased Stopping Distances: If your car takes significantly longer than usual to come to a complete stop, it’s a red flag for potential brake problems.
- Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal: A brake pedal that feels soft or mushy and travels further before engaging the brakes could indicate a problem with the hydraulic system.
- Uneven Braking: If your car pulls to one side when you apply the brakes, it suggests uneven brake pad wear or other issues.
- Illuminated Brake Warning Light: A lit brake warning light on your dashboard shouldn’t be ignored. It might indicate low brake fluid, worn pads, or other problems.

Tips for the DIYer
For those who prefer to handle car maintenance themselves, here are a few essential tips to perform your own brake inspection. Start by safely lifting your vehicle and removing the wheels to access the brakes. Check the brake pads for thickness; they should typically be at least a quarter-inch thick. Inspect the rotors for any signs of warping or scoring. Additionally, examine the brake lines for any leaks or damage.
