WHY WE REPLACE, MACHINE, BLEED, FLUSH BRAKES?
Replacing Brake Calipers?
We do more than replace brake pads. Factory re-manufactured calipers include new
seals and hardware in addition to pads and lining wear sensor. This allows for better
caliper operation, complete piston return and less brake drag.
Machining Brake Rotors and Drums?
Machining the rotors and drums provides a proper finish for seating the
new brake friction and preventing brake vibration and pulsation. That is
why we offer Professional Grade replacement drums and rotors.
Bleeding and Flushing the Hydraulic Brake System with a
Brake Repair?
The natural trait of brake fluid is to attract moisture. This occurs even in a
sealed system, which will reduce the boiling point of the fluid and increase
the chance for corrosion. We bleed the system to remove air and flush to
refresh the brake fluid. This helps reduce the chance of brake fade and
prolongs the life of hydraulic components.

Anti-lock Braking System
Originally developed for aircraft, anti-lock braking systems (ABS) basically works by limiting the pressure to any
wheel which decelerates too repidly.
ABS
allows you to maintain control of the vehicle. Since four-wheel ABS prevents all wheels from skidding, it allows you to
steer the vehicle and still maintain braking.ABS was introduced in the mid 1980's and has become 'standard'
equipment on the majority of vehicles sold in Canada. The anti-lock braking system in passenger cars and most multi-
purpose vehicles works on all four wheels. This promotes directional stability and allows steering while maximizing
brakes. The ABS system in most pick-up trucks works only on the rear wheels, which promotes directional stability
only. However, there are some available with ABS on all four wheels.
How do I use ABS?
Apply steady and constant pressure - do not take your foot off the brake pedal until the vehicle has stopped and 'do
not' pump the brake.
The noise associated with ABS when it is functioning should not be confused with brake squeal.
What is that noise/vibration?
This is normal and indicates that the ABS is active. Various ABS sound or feel differently. Some of the effects include
the following:
• a groaning noise
• a rapid pulsing of the brake pedal
• a periodic dropping of the brake pedal
• a hard (non-compliant) brake pedal
• a light that turns on to say 'low traction'.
You should familiarize yourself with how your system functions by reading the 'owner's manual' and then testing your
ABS to get the feel of how your vehicle reacts to the ABS.
The brake pedal will pulsate as the ABS engages
If your brakes squeal under normal braking conditions, this may indicate that the pads are worn and need replacing.
A pulsating brake pedal everytime you apply the brakes may indicate warped brake rotors and/or seized brake
calipers that require servicing.
