Brakes
Brakes are an essential part of your vehicle. Good maintenance is key to making sure that your brakes do what they were designed to do - keep you safe by stopping your vehicle.
Free Brake Inspection
At any time during normal business hours, you can come into your neighborhood Mr. Tire or TreadQuarters without an appointment for a free brake -- anti-lock and regular -- inspection. One of our ASE-certified technicians will examine your entire brake system -- pads/shoes, hydraulic fluids, anti-lock systems, rotor/drum wear and calipers. Then we will tell you what, if anything, is needed.
Pads and Shoe Replacement
We use only reliable replacement parts from the makers of Wagner® that meet or exceed your vehicle manufacturer's specification.
Resurface or Replace Rotors or Drums
To ensure your brake rotors or drums have a clean, even surface -- necessary for proper braking, we will resurface or "turn" them, keeping the rotor/drum within your vehicle manufacturer's recommended specifications for minimum thickness. If they need to be replaced, then we will tell you up front and provide a written estimate too.
Bleed and fill hydraulic system
Sometimes braking can become unsteady due to air bubbles in your vehicle's hydraulic brake line. By 'bleeding' your brakes, we will remove troublesome air bubbles and refill your hydraulic brake fluid to the manufacturer's recommended level with hydraulic fluid that meets or exceeds your vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
