Brakes
What we do and what you need to know!
What we do and what you need to know!
- We start with a test drive to see how the system functions.
- Then remove the wheels and pre-inspect system before dis-assembly.Rotors are measured here for thickness.If they can be turned we will be servicing them with our on car lathe that will remove all runout to a human hair or less.If they are below spec they generally will not be re-used.If they are replaced,we still machine the new rotors to remove all lateral runout in the assembly to .8 of 1000th of an inch (human hair or less).This is a crucial step that prevents rotor warpage in the future.
- Wheel bearings are serviced with new grease if possible.
- We dis-assemble the calipers from the brackets.All caliper brackets are thoroughly cleaned,inspected,and filed if needed.All slides are dis-assembled and lubed as required.
- Master cylinder is vacuumed of old fluid.
- Caliper bleeders are opened,Calipers are compressed and tested for sticking seals,fluid is cleaned away
- Top quality pads are installed,preferably with all new hardware. I generaly use the Napa/ADO series pads when possible.
- New fluid is added to master cylinder and system is compressed.
- All that for $112.5 per axle ($225.00 for all four wheels) plus parts.
- Pads usually run $60-$90 per axle
- Lifetime warranty on workmanship of parts (they will not squeak or excessivly dust)
- 2yr/24k warranty on labor.
- If you want the rest of the system bled/flushed the labor is $72 plus the fluid
- Caliper or installation of other parts may be extra,and are priced upon pre-inspection of the brake system.
