What We Offer

Our Brake Repair Services

Comprehensive brake repair services for all makes and models at A Plus Auto Shop.

Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement

Worn brake pads are the most common brake issue. We replace pads with high-quality components that match or exceed OEM specifications, ensuring quiet, reliable stopping power for thousands of miles to come.

Rotor Resurfacing & Replacement

Warped or worn rotors cause vibrations and reduce braking effectiveness. We measure rotor thickness and runout to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the best option for your vehicle and budget.

Brake Fluid Flush & Bleeding

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point and reduces braking performance. Our brake fluid flush removes old, contaminated fluid and replaces it with fresh fluid that meets your vehicle's specifications.

Caliper Repair & Replacement

Sticking or seized calipers cause uneven pad wear and pulling during braking. We inspect, rebuild, or replace calipers as needed to restore balanced, predictable stopping power.

ABS System Diagnosis & Repair

When your ABS warning light comes on, it means your anti-lock braking system needs attention. We diagnose ABS sensor failures, module issues, and hydraulic problems to restore this critical safety feature.

Brake Line & Hose Inspection

Corroded brake lines and deteriorated hoses can cause brake failure. We inspect all brake lines and hoses for leaks, cracks, and corrosion, and replace them before they become a safety hazard.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about brake repair at A Plus Auto Shop.

How do I know if my brakes need replacing?

Common signs include squealing or grinding noises, vibrations when braking, a soft or spongy brake pedal, the car pulling to one side when stopping, or a brake warning light on your dashboard. If you notice any of these, have your brakes inspected promptly.

How long do brake pads last?

Brake pad life varies widely depending on driving habits, vehicle type, and pad material. Most brake pads last between 25,000 and 65,000 miles. City driving with frequent stops wears pads faster than highway driving.

How much does a brake job cost?

Brake repair costs depend on what needs to be replaced. A basic pad replacement is more affordable than a full brake job with new rotors and calipers. We provide a detailed estimate before starting any work. Call (818) 500-1939 for a quote.

Can I drive with grinding brakes?

Driving with grinding brakes is dangerous and will cause further damage. Grinding typically means your pads are completely worn and metal is contacting metal, which damages your rotors and can compromise your ability to stop safely. Get to a mechanic as soon as possible.
