Complete Brake Inspection
We Measure. We Document. You Decide.
What Is a Complete Brake Inspection?
This isn't a quick glance through your wheel spokes. It's a thorough inspection that tells you exactly what condition your brakes are in and what (if anything) they need. No guessing. No surprises.
What We Inspect
Every component in your braking system, measured and documented
Actual thickness measured in millimeters—not "looks low" or "about half."
Thickness compared to manufacturer specs. We check for scoring, heat damage, and warping.
Slides checked for free movement, piston seals inspected for leaks.
Steel lines checked for rust and damage. Rubber hoses inspected for cracks.
Level and condition checked. Old fluid reduces braking effectiveness.
Springs, clips, slides, and parking brake operation verified.
Why Do We Charge for Brake Inspections?
What a "free" inspection really means: A quick visual look without removing the wheels. Someone peers through your wheel spokes and says "looks okay" or "pads are getting low."
What you can't see without taking things apart:
• Whether your caliper is seized
• If your rotors are thick enough to machine
• Whether caliper pistons are leaking
• If your slides are moving freely
• The actual pad thickness in millimeters
Our approach: We pull the wheels, disassemble everything, measure with actual tools, photograph what we find, and send you a digital report. When we quote your repair, we know exactly what's needed. No surprises.
