Pulsating brake pedal or steering wheel vibration suggests warped rotors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our brake repair services.
How often should I have my brakes inspected?
We recommend having your brakes inspected at least once a year or every 12,000 miles. For heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles that carry loads or tow frequently, more frequent inspections (every 6 months) are advisable.
How long do brake pads typically last?
Brake pad life varies significantly based on driving conditions, vehicle weight, and driving habits. Typically, brake pads last between 30,000 to 70,000 miles. Diesel trucks that tow or haul heavy loads may need more frequent replacement.
Should I replace rotors every time I replace brake pads?
Not necessarily. If your rotors are within specification thickness and don't have excessive scoring or warping, they can often be resurfaced. We'll measure your rotors and recommend the best course of action for safety and value.
Do you service trailer brakes?
Yes, we service electric, hydraulic, and air trailer brakes including semi-trailers. Proper trailer brake function is essential for safe towing. We can inspect, adjust, and repair your trailer braking system to ensure it's working properly.
Can you work on semi-truck and tractor-trailer air brakes?
Absolutely. We provide complete air brake service for semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, and Class 7-8 commercial vehicles. This includes S-cam and drum brake service, slack adjuster replacement and adjustment, air system diagnostics, compressor service, and DOT brake inspections.
How often should commercial trucks have brake inspections?
Commercial vehicles should have brake inspections according to DOT regulations and manufacturer recommendations. For Class 7-8 vehicles and semi-trucks, we recommend inspections at every oil change interval and a thorough inspection annually or every 25,000 miles, whichever comes first.
