This often signals worn brake pads or potential rotor damage. Ignoring it can lead to metal-on-metal contact, causing expensive repairs
If your brake pedal feels soft or sinks lower than normal, it could indicate air in the brake lines or moisture contamination in the brake fluid.
A car that drifts left or right while braking could point to uneven brake pad wear, a sticking caliper, or fluid imbalance.
Feeling a shake or pulsation when braking? This can result from warped rotors or a wheel alignment issue that needs immediate attention.
When this light illuminates, it’s your car’s way of saying immediate brake service is required.
At Five Star Wheels and Tires, we know your braking system is vital for your safety and driving confidence. That’s why we offer comprehensive brake repair services to keep your vehicle performing at its best. From minor adjustments to full system repairs, we’re here to ensure your brakes work flawlessly when you need them most.
Worn brake pads compromise your ability to stop quickly and safely. Our team provides high-quality brake pad replacements, restoring your vehicle’s braking efficiency and helping prevent damage to your rotors.
Damaged or worn rotors can cause vibrations and reduce braking effectiveness. We carefully inspect your rotors and replace them when necessary, providing your vehicle with the consistent, smooth braking power it needs to keep you safe on the road.
Brake fluid degrades over time, absorbing moisture that reduces braking responsiveness and risks corrosion in the system. Our brake fluid flush service replaces old fluid with fresh, high-quality fluid, maintaining peak brake performance and protecting internal components.
Your vehicle’s anti-lock braking system (ABS) plays a crucial role in preventing skidding and maintaining control during emergencies. We offer expert diagnostics and repairs to keep your ABS system functioning properly, ensuring you can rely on it when it matters most.
Our technicians begin with a detailed visual inspection to check for signs of wear, damage, or irregularities in your brake pads and rotors. This step identifies obvious issues, such as excessive pad wear or warped rotors, that may require immediate attention.
Using precision tools, we measure the thickness of your brake pads and rotors to ensure they meet manufacturer specifications. Thin or uneven wear may indicate a need for replacement to maintain safe stopping power.
Brake fluid plays a crucial role in your braking system, but over time, it can become contaminated or lose its effectiveness. We check the condition of your brake fluid for contamination, moisture, or low levels, recommending a fluid flush if necessary.
Finally, we assess the overall performance of your braking system, including calipers, brake lines, and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). This ensures every component is functioning as it should, giving you peace of mind on the road.
We recommend a brake inspection at least once a year or every 12,000 miles. If you drive in stop-and-go traffic, tow heavy loads, or notice performance issues, check them sooner.
