Complete brake repair in Irvine
We measure pad thickness and rotor condition and check calipers, hoses and fluid. Then we show you what we found. You decide what gets done.
We replace pads and rotors, service or replace calipers, flush brake fluid and upgrade to performance brakes on request.
Brakes on EVs and hybrids
Regenerative braking means EV pads often last a long time. However, rotors can rust and calipers can stick from lack of use. We clean, lubricate and inspect EV brakes so they work when you need them.
