FAQs

Can you come to my work or my apartment complex?

Yes, we perform brake repair at office buildings, in parking garages, on parking lots or low traffic streets. We have insurance and liability coverage to conduct repairs on third party properties.

Are your technicians ASE certified?

Yes, every Brakes To Go technician has at least 5 years experience and is ASE-certified. We only work on brakes, but we can point you in the right direction no matter the issue. In fact, most of our mechanics are over-qualified and can identify and recommend most automotive service issues.

Why do my brakes make a grinding, metal-on-metal sound?

Grinding noises usually indicate that your brake pad friction material is completely worn and the metal backing plate to which that material is normally attached is now in direct contact with your brake rotor. In this case, you will have little to no stopping power at this wheel. You will have to replace both the rotor and pads.

Why do my brakes vibrate and/or my steering wheel shake when I press on the brake pedal?

This is an indication that either your front or rear brake rotors have warped. Warping can happen as a result of driving hot brakes through cold water puddles (like warping a pan by taking it directly from your stove and putting it in the sink under your tap). Also, some rotors develop high spots on them as they age and one section of the rotor wears away faster than another. These high spots are felt all the way through the brake system. In either case, replacement of these rotors in the new standard of care.

Other questions that you might have are answered on the FAQ page of our website.
