Brake Service and Repair
ABS System service & repair
ABS or anti-lock braking system is something almost all cars have now and is a safety feature that most people are very grateful to have. If you push your brakes too hard this system will kick in, so you don’t lock your tires and as a result maintain steering power over your vehicle. It is important to keep this in good operating order and we can help you with that.

Brake Inspection
Getting routine brake inspections is very important if keeping your vehicle in good shape is important to you. Neglecting your braking system can lead to lines not being replaced on time, which can lead to your brakes going out at a bad time. It can lead to excessive wear on your rotors, and ultimately on your pocketbook as well.
Brake Pads Replacement
Getting your brake pads replaced on time is the easiest way to keep your brake systems and all the components to it working in good order. It is inexpensive to change your brake pads and can prevent you from spending much more money on other issues. Scheduling routine inspections is the best way to make sure you don’t forget about this. It is also highly recommended to have an inspection prior to taking a long trip.
Resurface Rotors
If your brake pads wore off a bit faster than you thought you might have some unwanted scratches on your rotors. It is also possible that you have a funny feeling when you press your brakes, this can be due to the changing of the seasons, which we all know too well in Wisconsin, which can warp your rotors. If you get your rotors resurfaced in the spring and fall to keep them smooth in order to keep your rotors lasting longer.
Drum and Rotor service
As is mentioned before in the event that you have not had your brakes inspected for a while and your brake pads were not changed in time you might need your drums and rotors replaced. We can help you restore the safety provided by your brakes to your vehicle.
Brake Rotors Replacement

Oftentimes it starts with the subtle sound of a screech. For some of us this is hard to hear over the radio, but this is where it normally starts. Your brake pads are getting to the end of their road life if you start to hear this sound. If you have a funny feeling in the brake pedal, then it is most likely gone a bit too far and you are probably grinding your rotors. Another sign is if the vehicle pulls to one side when you are slowing down. It could be your ABS dash light, but all of the above are signs you need your brakes replaced or inspected for possibly worse problems.
Breaks can be an expensive item to get fixed when not dealt with early. We recommend scheduling regular break inspections in order to prevent any large problems from developing. This keeps your vehicle running smoothly and the better your vehicle runs the better you maintain a good trade in value.
