We have expert auto repair Mira Mesa Brake mechanics & Brake technicians who have many years of experience in automobile brake system diagnostics, repair and service. They can inspect your complete brake system and pin point exactly what you need to replace in order to have you on the road safe & sound. At here, brake inspection starts with getting feedback from describing what problematic symptoms you have been experiencing. With this information, one of our trained Brake expert mechanics will do a visual inspection of the braking system. Sometimes a lot can be learned by simply removing the wheel to expose the caliper. Worn brake pads are the common reason for braking problems, along with low levels of braking fluid in the reservoir. Back brakes will be changed and in some cases a readjustment is needed for better brakes and adjustment for the handbrakes as well.

Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement: Brake pad problems can usually be identified by squealing brakes. If your brake pads deteriorate completely, you'll hear a grinding metal-on-metal sound when braking, meaning that it's too late and you're ruining your rotors or drums! Those with knowledge of auto repair may be able to fix this at home, but you should always see an auto repair professional immediately if you have brake problems.

Resurface Rotors: In a disc brake system, rotors are attached to your vehicle's wheels. When the brake pads grip the rotor, they bring both the rotor and wheels to a stop. However, the friction causes grooves and cracks to appear over time. Resurfacing brings the rotor back to a "like-new" condition, reducing squealing and wobbling. Cox Auto Service will give your rotors a thorough inspection and recommend your best course of action.

Caliper Replacement: The brake caliper houses your brake pads and fits around the rotor like a clamp, pressing the pads against the rotor when you brake. A brake caliber problem could cause uneven braking, making your car slide forward when you brake. Uneven braking can also cause your vehicle to slide out of control in bad weather conditions, so contact Cox Auto Service as soon as possible.
