Brake Pads and Rotor Repair

Your brake pads and rotors are key elements of your vehicle's brake system, so keeping an eye on them and replacing them when necessary is essential. These parts work together to stop your wheels, and maintaining them is an important part of ensuring that your car can stop as effectively as possible.

When do you need to get your brake pads and rotors replaced? That typically depends on your driving habits. The more you drive, the more you brake, and the more your brake components will wear out. That's why we recommend having your brakes checked every six months or so to make sure that your brakes are in good shape.
