Brake Repairs

The function of your vehicle’s brakes system is to assist you in the ability to control your vehicle by reducing speed and bring it to a complete stop, which is why your vehicle’s braking system is a critical element of you and your vehicles safety.

Braking systems operate using a hydraulic system, whereby applying pressure to the brake pedal, sends brake fluid throughout the vehicle’s brake system activating parts that come together to create friction; which then creates the stopping force required. Any weak or worn points in the brake system; hoses, seals or other hydraulic components, could result in a fluid leak and possibly a catastrophic failure of your vehicle’s brakes.

Chatham Auto Repair’s certified technicians perform both a visual and hands-on analysis of your braking systems.

Inspections include, but are not limited to:

  • Examination of the brake pads, rotors, drums and shoes
  • Test brake fluid levels and quality
  • Inspect Parking Brake
  • Signs of fatigue or cracks on the brake lines, hoses / master cylinder
  • Ensure there are no visible fluid leaks

After our technicians have completed their inspection and diagnostics, they will then determine the maintenance or repair your vehicle needs to ensure a fully working braking system.
