Brake Repair in Gainesville, VA
Your Local Partner For Brake Safety
Distance and Experience Matter
When any automobile has a problem with the braking system, distance to the shop matters. If the vehicle is in need of a planned repair or service, it’s probably drivable, but you don’t need to take it a long distance and make the problem worse. If there’s been a brake failure and you need a tow, you certainly don’t want to pay to take your car to a distant area.

Function And Potential Trouble
Your passenger car’s braking system works using hydraulics. When you press the brake pedal, a level and piston move to send brake fluid from the master cylinder through lines to the cylinder near each wheel. Once there, the fluid moves the calipers so the brake pads contact the rotors. These are the large discs that sit on the inside of the wheels. Note: Some older models and the rear wheels of some newer cars have drum brakes where a brake shoe contacts a drum turning inside each wheel. This hydraulic setup allows you to exert a small amount of force on the pedal and achieve the major result of stopping your car. When you bring your auto in for routine service visits, we’ll watch your brakes for you. You should have us do this at least once per year. However, if you notice any newly developing issues in the meantime, schedule a visit with us for brake repair. Signs of trouble include increased stopping distances, a burning odor, shaking or pulling sideways as you apply brakes, a spongy brake pedal, or a squealing sound.
