Your brake system might just be the most essential part of your vehicle. Whether you’re stopping at a crossroad, a traffic light, or halting suddenly for an emergency, we know that you count on your brakes. If there’s any sign of trouble in your brake system please don’t ignore it.
Squealing, screeching, or grating sounds are usually caused by worn brake pads or rotors, but if you feel any sort of vibrations in the cabin of your car while braking it can be an entirely different issue. A full brake system inspection by our professional mechanics at Gary’s Automotive will identify the condition of your vehicle’s brakes. We scrutinize every section to ensure optimal performance.

Brake Maintenance
The importance of scheduled brake maintenance is critical, especially when you’re driving through scenic desert vistas where experiencing brake failure can be doubly dangerous. At Gary’s Automotive we know that routine inspections and regular maintenance are vital to keeping all the various components of your brake system working in tip-top shape.
Brake Inspections
Our mechanics recommend a brake inspection every 12,000 miles. During inspections, we thoroughly examine all the components of your brake system to ensure safety on the roads around Arizona.
Brake Pads
There are semi-metallic, ceramic, and organic pads. Since different types offer different advantages, it’s best to consult with a brake specialist before installation. All brake pads, regardless of composition, undergo similar testing procedures before being approved for sale and released to vendors. The type of brake pad we recommend will depend on your driving tendencies, vehicle usage patterns, and overall budget.
Brake Fluid Checks
Brake fluid doesn’t need to be replaced often. In fact it’s one of the least likely problems you might need repairs for but it’s still important enough to check regularly because brake fluid leaks can cause other components to malfunction.
