Brake Service and Inspection
During a brake service, our mobile mechanics in Milwaukee conduct a comprehensive inspection, which includes:
What We Check
- Checking the wear and condition of both front and rear brake pads.
- Measuring the thickness of the brake rotors.
- Evaluating the condition of the brake drums (if applicable).
- Testing brake fluid levels and checking the quality of the fluid.
- Inspecting the parking brake (E-brake) for functionality.
Recommended Services
After completing these checks, our mechanics may recommend the following services:
- Installing new brake pads or shoes.
- Resurfacing or replacing brake rotors or drums.
- Changing and bleeding the brake fluid.
- Replacing brake lines, hoses, or other brake system components.
Brake Fluid Change
Brake fluid can absorb moisture over time, reducing its effectiveness and causing component corrosion. During our brake service, we use a strip dip test to check for contamination and determine if a brake fluid change is needed.
Brake Bleeding
If air enters the brake system—often due to low brake fluid or after certain repairs—it can cause a spongy brake pedal. Our mechanics will bleed the brake system to remove air and restore proper brake function.
Stay Safe on Milwaukee Roads
While these are common signs of brake problems, they aren’t the only ones. Staying alert to your vehicle’s performance is key to staying safe on Milwaukee roads.
