Our Brake Services

When you hear or feel loud grinding or noises every time you use your car’s brake, it’s time to bring it to an auto shop for inspection. Bring your car over to Parma Car Care Specialists, and we’ll provide the following services: 

1. Brake Fluid Flushes

When the brake fluid in your car’s brake lines and reservoir needs replacing, the best action to take is to call for brake fluid flush. Head over to Parma Car Care Specialists if you need the service done, as our team has specialized tools to extract the old fluid and replace it.

2. Brake Hose Repair and Replacement

A car’s brake hose is essential as it prevents damage to the metal brake lines and allows the suspension to move without interfering with the braking system. Over time, brake hoses wear out and eventually fail. Before that happens, have Parma Car Care Specialists check your brake hose to see if it needs repair or maintenance. 

3. Brake Pad And Shoe Replacement

The brake pad and brake shoe are essential components that create friction to stop a car’s motion safely. They are subject to wear and tear and will need periodic replacements. Our team at Parma Car Care Specialists can thoroughly inspect your car’s brake pad and brake shoe to see if it’s about time to replace either. 

4. Anti-Lock Braking System Repair

An anti-lock brake system (ABS) is a safety system that prevents your car’s wheels from locking up during an abrupt brake or as you drive on slippery surfaces. If your car’s ABS signal light is on, give us a call right away. We’ll determine the root cause of the problem and provide the most appropriate solution. 

5. Brake Rotor Resurfacing

This is the process of removing a thin layer of metal from the surface of the rotor to create a smooth, flat surface for the brake pads to come into contact with. When your brake rotors become warped due to excessive use, we’ll conduct the resurfacing process and ensure that it meets your car manufacturer’s specifications for thickness. 

6. Caliper Replacement

The caliper is responsible for applying pressure to the brake pads, which in turn press against the rotor so that your car can slow down or stop. Over time, the caliper will require replacement, as keeping a worn and damaged one could lead to brake failure. Hire us for reliable caliper replacement to ensure your safety on the road.
