Stop like itshould stop.

Grinding, pulling, a pedal that sinks — brakes tell you early. Bring it in while it is still a pad job.

Brakes

Wheels off. Eyes on.

Brake work starts with the wheels off and a look at what is actually worn — pad thickness, rotor surface, whether a caliper is dragging or a line is weeping.

Then you get told what it is before anything is replaced. That is the part most people say they were missing at their last shop.

Symptoms

When to bring it in.

A squeal that turns into a grindThe wear indicator has been rubbing and the pad is now into the rotor. Sooner is cheaper than later.
The pedal goes soft or sinksAir or fluid loss somewhere in the system. This one does not wait — call before you drive it far.
It pulls to one side when you brakeUsually a sticking caliper or a collapsed hose on one corner.
A shudder in the steering wheelWarped or unevenly worn rotors, felt most at highway speed.
Clunks over bumps, or it wandersThat is suspension, not brakes — ball joints, links, struts or a tired control arm bushing.
Uneven tire wearThe front end is out or something is worn enough to let the wheel move. Worth a look before new tires.

Reviews

From people in Conyers.

Awesome service. Very informative every step of the way. The owner was able to put me at ease when it came to caring for my vehicle. I had build up some anxiety worrying about my car and how long things would take. Everyone i came in contact with was polite and gave me informative guidance. If you need mechanic services from someone who cares this is the place for you

Questions

Brakes & suspension, answered.

Can you tell me whether the rotors can be reused?
Yes — that is a measurement, not a guess. If they are above spec and the surface is clean, they stay. If they are grooved or below spec, you get told why they are being replaced.
Do you do brakes on trucks and older cars?
Yes. Plenty of what comes through the shop is older, and drum brakes on the rear are no problem.
My car shakes at highway speed. Is that brakes?
If the shake shows up when you brake, it is usually rotors. If it is there all the time, it is more likely tires or a balance issue. Either way it gets checked before anything is sold to you.
Do I need an appointment?
Call (678) 851-1258 first so the shop can tell you what the day looks like. Brakes that are metal-on-metal get treated as urgent.
