Regular maintenance to your vehicle’s braking system is key to keeping you and your family safe and sound if you need to make a sudden stop. With a visual inspection, technicians will check the brake pads, shoes, plus the lines and master cylinder for leaks. They’ll also check the calipers and rotors for wear, and can turn the rotors if necessary.
