Brake Inspection Service - Charlotte, NC

When it comes to brake services, there are tell-tale signs indicating it's time to give your car the attention it deserves. If you hear a high-pitched squeal when you apply the brakes, it’s the first warning that the brake pads are wearing thin. Another sign is a deep, metallic grinding sound, which suggests that the pads might be worn through completely. Don't wait until your brake pads are grinding against the rotor, as this can cause significant damage and potentially lead to more costly repairs or even a road accident. Moreover, if your vehicle is pulling to one side while braking, it could be an indication of a stuck caliper, uneven brake pad wear, or a collapsed brake hose. Experiencing a spongy or soft brake pedal can be the result of air in the hydraulic system or a problem with the master cylinder. Remember, regular brake inspections can prevent these issues, and at Pinkston Automotive Services Group in Charlotte, NC, we’re here to ensure your safety with every stop.

Brake Pad Replacement - Charlotte, NC

The process of servicing your brakes is meticulous and requires a skilled technician to ensure every part is functioning correctly. At Pinkston Automotive Services Group, the brake service begins with a comprehensive inspection of the brake system's components, including pads, shoes, rotors, drums, calipers, and brake fluid. If we identify worn brake pads, we'll recommend a pad replacement, which includes resurfacing or replacing the rotors to ensure a smooth surface for the pads to contact. In cases where the hydraulic system has issues, we'll inspect for leaks and test the brake fluid for contaminants to decide if it requires bleeding of the system or a full fluid replacement. Calipers that aren't functioning correctly may need to be replaced to ensure that the brake pads clamp the rotors evenly and effectively. We use only the highest quality parts to match your vehicle's specifications, and our technicians are trained to handle everything from the simplest brake job to the most complex ABS system repairs.
