Brake Repair Services In Clearfield, Utah
When was the last time you had your brakes checked? As the most important safety feature on your vehicle, it’s essential to get regular brake inspections to ensure that your car stays safe. Regular inspections can catch potential issues before your brakes wear out completely.
The team at Master AutoTech in Clearfield are more than able to provide you with a complete brake system inspection. If your brakes have started squeaking, pulsating, or grinding, or you feel it’s low or spongy when you press on the pedal, we’ll diagnose problems and concerns, repair or replace any worn components and get your vehicle’s brake system ready to get back on the road.
Three Steps To Checking Your Brakes
While it’s great to get a professional’s eyes on your brakes, you can actually perform regular brake checks yourself. To do this essential bit of maintenance for your car, use these three ways to check on your brakes:
Look
Take a look at your brake pads through the space between the spokes of your wheels. The brake pad is pressed against a metal rotor. Make sure that your brake pad is at least ¼ inch thick. If your brake pads are any less than that, you’ll want to come in for a replacement.
Listen
Keep an ear open as you drive to judge whether it’s time to get your brakes looked at. If you hear high-pitched screeching, that’s your indicator–a small metal shim designed to be an audible warning–letting you know that it’s time to get your brakes replaced. If your car has gone beyond that, and you hear grinding or growling, your brakes have been completely worn down–that noise is your discs and calipers rubbing together, which can seriously damage your car. It’s time to get your car into a professional auto shop right away if that’s the case!
Feel
What does it feel like when you press your brake pedal? Is there a good amount of resistance, or is your brake pedal sinking all the way to the floor? If it’s the latter, you might have an air or fluid leak in your system. If your car is tugging to the side when you brake, your brake linings might have worn down unevenly, or there’s a foreign substance in your brake fluid. Vibrating, like when you have your anti-lock brakes engaged, can indicate warped rotors.
If you’re not sure about any of the above, come on in to a Master AutoTech location for a free brake assessment.

Breaking Down Brake Repair
Whether you need a tune-up or you come in with squealing, worn down brakes, we’re here to help. We’ll get you back on the road, safely, as quick as possible by looking at these components:
Brake System
Whenever you push down on the brake pedal, your vehicle uses an intricate hydraulic system that uses leverage, hydraulic force, and friction to stop your car.
Brake Fluid
Throughout your brake system, there’s a special fluid that expands through it to move the piston to push the brake pad up against the brake disc on the tire.
Brake Pads & Rotors
These are what push together to stop your wheels when driving.
Master Cylinder
The heart of your brake system is meant to last the lifetime of your car, but sometimes a malfunction or damage means that it needs to be replaced.

Brake Inspections
Our team will inspect your brake system and let you know if we see anything concerning, along with a game plan of how to fix it.
Brake Pad Replacement
Brake pads or brake shoes (found in older cars) can wear down over time, making stopping more difficult. We’ll get a replacement for you so you can get back on the road.
Rotor Repair & Replacement
What the brake pad presses against when you press down on the pedal. These also need to be replaced over time, but resurfacing an existing rotor can also have it working as good as new.
Brake Fluid Check
Leaks and foreign fluids and objects can contaminate your brake fluid, wrecking your system. We won’t just patch up the leaks–we’ll top up your fluid, too.
Master Cylinder Repair & Replacement
If something’s messed with your master cylinder, we’ll take care of it. We can both repair and replace your cylinder and get you back on the road in no time.
