Kearns Brakes

It’s great to have a pro look at your brakes, but did you know you can do your own checkup? See for yourself if it might be time to bring your car in for a tune-up. Here’s how to see if your car needs a brake check-up:

Look

You can spot your car’s brake pads if you look closely between the front wheels’ spokes. They’ll be snug against a metal rotor. If they’re not at least ¼” thick, then it’s a sign that they need a replacement.

Listen

Do your brakes make an annoying squeaking or a rough grinding noise? That means it’s time to get a brake replacement. That squealing is a warning signal made by a tiny piece of metal called an indicator. It’s meant to make that noise when your brakes are low. The grinding sound, on the other hand, is your brake parts scraping together because your brake pad is totally worn out. Get to the shop ASAP, or you could harm your car seriously.

Feel

If your car’s brake pedal shudders like your anti-lock brakes are on, your rotors might be bent. A pedal that sinks right down could be hinting at an air or fluid leak in your brakes. Also, if your car has a tendency to drift when you apply the brakes, it might be due to uneven wearing of your brake pads. Having any of these problems? Get your car to a mechanic for a check-up.

If you’re not sure what’s happening with your car while driving, Master Autotech is the place to go. We offer a free brake check at our locations, and we’ll tell you if any repairs or replacements are necessary. As Utah’s primary stop for brake repairs, we truly understand the need for your car to be safe whether driving on icy canyon roads or hot desert streets. Our expert crew is here to ensure your brakes are good for any drive, no matter where you’re headed.

Whether you need a brake repair or just a quick check on your brake pads, we’ve got you covered. We’ll perform a comprehensive review of your brake system to ensure its performance and get you back on the road as soon as we can. Here’s what we’ll look at:

Brake System

Push down on your brake pedal and a sophisticated hydraulic system springs into action. It uses leverage, hydraulic pressure and friction to stop your vehicle.

Brake Fluid

Fluid is utilized in your brake system to push the piston forward, applying the brake pads to the brake disc.

Brake Pads & Rotors

These are located near your vehicle’s tires and press together to bring your car to a halt.

Master Cylinder

This is the central part of your braking system. It’s designed to last for the life of your car, but damage can cut its life short.

Regardless of your vehicle’s make or type, or if it’s fitted with drum or disc brakes, our skilled auto mechanics have got you covered. We start with a free brake evaluation to answer any questions and offer the services needed to keep your brakes in top shape.

Routine checks are a must for car safety, and we, based in Utah, know just how essential it is to make sure your brakes are fit for both desert and mountain driving.

Brake Inspections

If we spot anything troubling in your brake system after our detailed check, we guarantee we’ll let you know right away. Plus, we’ll have prepared a repair strategy for you.

Brake Pad Replacement

Given that brake pads – or brake shoes for older car models – are bound to wear out over time, a replacement becomes inevitable. Here at Master AutoTech, you can count on us to do this speedily and proficiently.

Rotor Repair & Replacement

Your brake pads touch a rotor each time you brake, which leads to their wearing down. Depending on the condition, we might resurface them or replace them, making sure they’re as good as new.

Brake Fluid Check

Brake fluid plays a critical part in your brake’s hydraulic system. But, it can be spoiled by foreign materials or a tube leak. We’ll ensure that your fluid is clean, flowing without blockage, and top it off if required.

Master Cylinder Repair & Replacement

Whether it’s a minor fix or a complete replacement, we’ll have your cylinder in top-notch condition so you can resume your driving.
