Brake Services

Brake System Inspections – Brake system inspections are necessary for safety while driving. Every vehicle needs a brake system inspection at major service intervals or in response to braking trouble. Be sure to get an inspection if you notice a decline in stopping power, the dashboard brake system warning light, or a metallic screeching noise near the wheels.
Brake Fluid Exchange – Hydraulic brake fluid transfer stopping power from the master cylinder into brake calipers that press brake pads into the rotors. Hydraulic brake fluid has two potential limitations that demand exchange service: contamination and leaking. Be sure to check the Volkswagen owner’s manual and get brake fluid exchange service at the recommended miles/time.

Brake Pad Replacement – Brake pads are steel plates holding a resin-bonded metallic composite. They are designed to create intense friction that is ultimately stopping power. Brake pads wear down and require replacement service when 3mm remains on the steel backing plate. Since they tend to wear down at variable rates, we can replace the rear, front, or all brake pads.

Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement – Brake rotors connected to the wheels are positioned to create stopping resistance when the brake pads get clamped into them. Good rotors have the flattest disc face for maximum surface area, creating maximum resistance. You can count on the brake rotor disc to get wear and tear that reduces flatness. Brake rotor resurfacing, also called machining, restores flatness by removing disc wear and tear.

Caliper Service – The brake calipers squeeze together to push the brake pads against the brake rotors, and they will regularly need to be cleaned, lubricated, and inspected to ensure that they are providing the necessary precision.
Non-Routine Braking Component Repair – Non-routine braking component repairs are often needed, especially with higher miles, because the brakes work hard under heavy mechanical stress. Our certified technicians are ready for it all when it comes to Volkswagen brakes, so be sure to visit us if you ever need brake caliper, lines, master cylinder, or hardware repairs.
