Brake service
Brake repair in Minneapolis.
Brakes are not the place to guess. We inspect the whole system, show you what is actually worn, and get your approval before we touch a thing. Honest work on the north side since 2001.
What we handle.
Braking is a full system, not just pads. We service every part of it and diagnose the noises and warning lights that send people in.
- Brake pads and shoes
- Rotors and drums
- Calipers and wheel cylinders
- Brake lines and hoses
- Master cylinder
- Brake fluid flush and service
- ABS and brake warning lights
- Parking brake adjustment
Signs it is time to come in.
If your car is telling you something, do not wait on brakes. A quick inspection now is cheaper and safer than a bigger repair later.
Squealing or grinding
A high squeal often means the pads are worn. Grinding usually means metal on metal, and that can score the rotors.
Soft pedal or longer stops
A pedal that sinks, feels spongy, or takes longer to stop can point to worn pads, low fluid, or air in the lines.
Pulling, shaking or a light
Pulling to one side, a pulsing pedal, or a brake or ABS light on the dash all deserve a look before your next long drive.
How the visit works.
We inspect and measure.
We check pads, rotors, calipers, lines and fluid, and measure what is left so the conversation is based on facts, not a sales script.
We explain the findings.
You get a clear picture of what needs attention now, what can wait, and a straightforward estimate. Questions are welcome.
You approve the work.
Nothing happens until you say yes. We call before we begin, and if we find something else along the way, we call again.
We do it right, and back it.

Brake questions, answered.
How do I know if I need new brakes?
Common signs are squealing or grinding when you stop, a longer stopping distance, a soft or low pedal, a pulsing pedal, pulling to one side, or a brake or ABS warning light. The only way to be sure is a hands-on inspection, which is where we start.
Will you tell me the cost before doing the work?
Yes. We inspect first, explain what we find, and give you a clear estimate. We call and get your approval before any repair begins. You decide what gets done.
What parts do you use?
As a NAPA AutoCare Center we use quality parts, and qualifying repairs are covered by the NAPA Peace of Mind Warranty. Ask us what applies to your vehicle.
