When To Get This Service
Address brake problems immediately—delaying repair can lead to costly rotor damage and unsafe stopping.
Look for these warning signs:
- Brake Warning or ABS light illuminated
- Squealing, grinding, or metallic noise while braking
- Unusual sounds while the vehicle is stopped
- Brake pedal feels soft, sinks low, or is hard to press
- Steering wheel or pedal shakes when braking
- Vehicle needs more distance to stop
Our Sun & ASE-Certified technicians inspect your brake pads at every oil change and recommend replacement—typically between 30,000 and 70,000 miles, depending on driving conditions.
Your Service Questions, Answered.

When should you change your brake fluid?
Depending on the climate you live in, we recommend replacing brake fluid every 24,000 miles or every two years, whichever comes first, as well as any time your brakes are serviced.
What is the cost to repair brakes?
Brake repairs and replacement costs vary based on what is necessary to repair the area of the brake system properly. Every vehicle’s needs are unique. Some vehicles may require replacement of multiple brake components while some may only require brake pads and resurfaced rotors. Take advantage of the free brake inspection provided by Car Care Central to determine what your vehicle may need. Our friendly Service Advisors will review your options and discuss the amount of time and costs required to repair your brakes properly.
Why does my car shake when I hit the brakes?
Brake shake can be caused by several different issues including worn suspension components, worn brake pads, or warped rotors. The ABS system attempting to activate due to failed or damaged components can cause shaking. It’s best to have an experienced technician inspect the system to determine the cause as not all “brake shakes” are caused by the braking system.
