Regular brake inspections are key to identifying wear and tear early.
Brake Services
At Discount Tire & Service Centers, we understand how essential properly functioning brakes are for your safety. From routine maintenance to comprehensive repairs, our team of skilled technicians offers brake services that ensure your braking system performs reliably every time you hit the road.
Types of Brake Services We Offer
Brake Inspections
Regular brake inspections are key to identifying wear and tear early. During an inspection, our technicians:
- Check the condition of your brake pads, rotors, and calipers.
- Inspect brake fluid levels and quality.
- Look for signs of uneven wear or damage.
Brake Pad Replacement
Worn brake pads reduce your stopping power and can damage rotors if ignored. Our brake pad replacement service uses premium materials to restore your vehicle’s braking efficiency.
Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement
Rotors play a critical role in your braking system. If they’re warped or damaged, they can cause vibrations and uneven stopping. We offer resurfacing to restore smoothness or replacement for more severe wear.
Brake Fluid Exchange
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, reducing its effectiveness and potentially leading to brake failure. We’ll replace old fluid with high-quality brake fluid, ensuring optimal performance and preventing corrosion in your brake lines.
Emergency Brake Repair
If your brakes are grinding, squealing, or showing any signs of immediate failure, our technicians will perform a fast, thorough assessment and necessary repairs to get you safely back on the road

Are Brake Services Necessary?
Absolutely. Brake services are a crucial part of maintaining your vehicle’s safety. Over time, brake components like pads, rotors, and fluid wear out, leading to longer stopping distances, compromised braking efficiency, or even total brake failure.
Regular brake repair services and maintenance help prevent these issues, saving you from costly repairs and ensuring your vehicle is safe to drive.
Neglecting brake care could lead to the following:
- Uneven or premature wear on pads and rotors.
- Decreased responsiveness or spongy brake pedals.
- Grinding or squealing noises when braking.
How Long Do Brake Services Take?
The time required depends on the type of service needed:
- Brake Inspections: Typically completed in 30 minutes.
- Brake Pad Replacement or Rotor Resurfacing: Can take 1 to 2 hours.
- Comprehensive Repairs: This may take several hours, depending on the extent of the work.
Our team will provide an accurate estimate before starting any work and keep you informed throughout the process.
How Much Should Brake Services Cost?
The cost of brake repair services depends on what kind of service you need. If it’s just new brake pads, it’ll be on the lower end, but more involved jobs—like replacing rotors or calipers—can cost a bit more.
At Discount Tire & Service Centers, we offer transparent pricing and several brake service packages to fit your budget.

How Often Do Brakes Need to Be Serviced?
Having your brakes inspected every 12,000 miles or once a year is recommended. However, bring your vehicle in sooner if you notice:
- Squealing or grinding noises.
- A spongy or unresponsive brake pedal.
- Vibrations when braking.
Regular brake services extend your brakes' life and keep you safe on the road.
