Common questions
How much does brake repair cost?
It depends on the vehicle and whether rotors are needed. We measure first and give you a written estimate before any work starts.
How long do brake pads last?
Usually 30,000 to 70,000 miles. City stop-and-go driving on Lake Street wears them faster than highway miles.
Is the brake inspection really free?
Yes. We check pads, rotors and fluid at no charge and show you the measurements.
