What's included
WHAT'S INCLUDED
IN BRAKE REPAIR
German brakes are built to fade late and stop hard, and they are designed to be replaced as a system rather than a pad at a time. Doing it the way the manufacturer intended is what keeps that pedal feel.
- Rotors measured against the published minimum thickness, never judged by eye
- OEM or OEM-equivalent pads and rotors in the compound the car was designed around
- Every brake job carries a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty
01
Pads and Rotors
German rotors are designed to wear with the pads and carry a published minimum thickness. We measure every rotor and replace pads and rotors together when the specification calls for it, with OEM or OEM-equivalent parts in the compound the car was designed around.
02
Brake Fluid Service
Brake fluid absorbs water from the air, and every German manufacturer publishes a fixed replacement interval, usually two years, regardless of mileage. We flush the system with fluid to the DOT specification the car requires, including the ABS unit where the factory procedure calls for it.
03
Wear Sensors and Warnings
Most German cars carry electronic wear sensors that trigger the brake warning on the dash. A sensor that has warned is a one-time part and is replaced with the pads, and the service reminder is reset through the factory interface rather than cleared with a generic tool.
04
Calipers and Hoses
Sticking caliper pistons and slide pins wear one pad faster than the other and overheat the rotor. We check every caliper for free movement, rebuild or replace what has seized, and replace rubber hoses that have started to swell or crack.
05
Electronic Parking Brake
Many current German models use an electronic parking brake that must be put into service mode with the factory software before the rear pads can be changed. Forcing it is how the actuators get destroyed.
06
ABS and Stability Faults
ABS, DSC and ESP warnings usually trace to a wheel speed sensor, a reluctor ring or a wiring fault rather than the module itself. We read the fault with the factory software and repair the cause, which is nearly always the cheaper part.

Great price
There’s nothing but good things to say about this shop. This car needed a lot of work from oil leaks, engine mounts, airbag light, to coolant leaks, and they did this work in a day. Fast and great work. This if for sure my go to shop from now on. Highly recommend!

Common Questions
BRAKE REPAIR
FAQ
How do I know my brakes need attention?
A brake warning on the dash, a grinding or squealing noise, a pulsing pedal under braking, or a longer stopping distance are the usual signs. Most German cars warn you electronically before the pads are through, but a noise or a change in feel is worth checking sooner.
Do you have to replace the rotors with the pads?
Often, yes. German rotors are made to wear with the pads and carry a minimum thickness stamped on the hub; once they are at or near it, new pads on old rotors wear fast and stop poorly. We measure them and tell you where they stand before you decide.
Why does brake fluid need changing if I have not lost any?
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time, which lowers its boiling point and corrodes the ABS unit from the inside. That is why every German manufacturer publishes a fixed interval, usually two years, regardless of mileage.
Can you do the rear brakes on a car with an electronic parking brake?
Yes. The parking brake actuators have to be retracted through the factory diagnostic software before the pads come out, and put back into service afterwards. It is a routine job with the right tools and a very expensive one without them.
Will aftermarket pads hurt my car?
Cheap pads can. The wrong compound changes pedal feel, can glaze the rotor and often produces the dust and squeal owners complain about. We fit OEM or OEM-equivalent pads in the compound the car was designed around; if you want a performance compound, we will tell you the trade-offs.
Will my brake warning light go off?
Yes, once the sensor that triggered it is replaced. A wear sensor that has warned has been worn through and is a one-time part. We replace it with the pads and reset the service reminder through the factory interface so the car's own schedule stays accurate.
