Anti-Lock Brake System
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) ensures your wheels keep rotating during braking, preventing skidding and providing better control. If your ABS light illuminates, visit Willards Auto Repair for a diagnosis and professional repair.
Brake Fluid Flushes
Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air over time, diminishing brake effectiveness and becoming corrosive, potentially harming the system. Regular brake fluid flushes are vital to ensure fresh fluid usage in your vehicle. Consult our technicians at Willards Auto Repair to determine the right time for a brake fluid flush.
Brake Hoses
A brake hose carries pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A damaged hose can lead to delayed or weak braking, and a leak may result in brake failure. While the need for a replacement brake hose isn't common, any signs of cracking or wear should prompt immediate replacement.
Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement
Squealing brakes often indicate brake pad issues. When brake pads deteriorate completely, a harsh metal-on-metal grinding noise occurs during braking, indicating potential rotor or drum damage. Although experienced individuals may attempt home repairs, if you have brake concerns, it's best to consult an auto repair professional promptly.
Caliper Replacement
The brake caliper houses brake pads and clamps around the rotor to apply pressure during braking. Caliper problems can cause uneven braking, leading to skidding during braking and loss of control in adverse weather conditions. Contact Willards Auto Repair in Holly at your earliest convenience for assistance.
Resurface Rotors
In a disc brake system, rotors attach to your vehicle's wheels. The friction with brake pads over time creates grooves and cracks. The process of resurfacing restores rotors to a "like-new" condition, reducing noise and wobbling. At Willards Auto Repair, we inspect your rotors thoroughly and recommend the best course of action.
FAQs About Brakes
Why are my brakes making a grinding noise?
A grinding sound from your brakes often signals that they're severely worn and require immediate attention. This noise typically means the brake pads have worn down to the rotors.
Why are my brakes squeaking?
Squeaking brakes can result from small stones or debris caught in the pads, or it may indicate that the pads are wearing thin. It's a sign that your brakes might need inspection or replacement.
Why are my brakes making a burning smell?
A burning smell from your brakes can occur if they overheat from excessive use. If you notice a chemical odor or smoke, pull over safely and allow the brakes to cool to avoid further damage.
Why are my brakes vibrating?
Vibration when braking usually points to an issue with uneven rotor surfaces. Over time, rotors can wear unevenly, causing vibrations through the steering wheel when you apply the brakes.
How do I know if my car is leaking brake fluid?
A decrease in braking performance or a spongy feel in the brake pedal could indicate a brake fluid leak. It's critical to address any brake fluid leaks immediately to maintain vehicle safety.
Why is my dashboard brake light on?
The brake light on your dashboard may indicate it's time for brake service or signal an issue. Visit Willards Auto Repair for a precise diagnosis and prompt resolution.
What are the 3 signs that brake pads are worn?
Common signs of worn brake pads include squeaking noises, grinding sounds, and the brake warning light illuminating on your dashboard.
What is the 30-30-30 rule for brakes?
The 30-30-30 rule suggests breaking in new brake pads with 30 gentle stops from 30 mph, allowing 30 seconds between each to prevent overheating and to help the pads cure properly.
What percent of brake pad life is 3mm?
New brake pads typically start at 8 to 12 mm thick. At 3 mm, your brake pads are near the end of their lifespan, having covered about 40,000 miles. It's advisable to replace them soon to maintain braking efficiency.
What are the 3 types of brake pads?
The three primary types of brake pads are non-asbestos organic, ceramic, and semi-metallic. Each type offers different benefits concerning performance, wear, and noise.
Why is my car pulling to one side when I am braking?
If your car veers to one side when braking, it could be due to a stuck caliper or a collapsed brake hose, causing uneven braking pressure. This should be inspected and repaired to ensure safe driving.

My son brought his car in thinking he needed braked replaced. They could have told him most anything, or over sold him. They did neither of that. Didn't over diagnose or over sell, told him what the problem was, fixed it, and sent him on his way with a bill much much lower than he expected. I bring all my cars here, and have for years. Service like that needs to be rewarded, in my opinion.

I brought my the Chevy traverse in because I was having a lot of issues my ABS light would not allow me to turn it on and I had an engine lights on. Wilkins and help me figure out that my alignment was off and my sensor was bad and that's why my ABS light was not working and they also found out that I had numerous other codes going on with my car they were very friendly and very helpful they even told me that when my engine light came back on to bring it back and they will check the codes again to help me figure out what's going on with my car. They worked with me and give me a great price for everything they did for me. Thank you Danielle C., 08/05/2021 |
