- Is a brake special a good deal?
- Almost never. A real brake job on a modern vehicle — OE-spec pads, new rotors when measurements call for them, fresh hardware, brake fluid check — costs more than that just in parts on most cars. A special almost always means bargain pads on resurfaced rotors with no new hardware. You'll be back in a year.
- Do I need to replace pads and rotors at the same time?
- Often, but not always. If pad-thickness shows life left and the rotors are above spec, replace just one. If your last brake job resurfaced the rotors (or your current rotors are scored / below spec), replace both together. We measure first and tell you what your specific car actually needs.
- Are ceramic pads worth it?
- On most daily drivers, yes — OE-spec ceramic pads run cleaner (less brake dust on wheels), are quieter, and wear evenly. Performance vehicles sometimes want a more aggressive friction compound; we'll tell you when that's the case.
- Do I really need to flush brake fluid?
- On the manufacturer-spec interval, yes — brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point and accelerates ABS-module wear. Doesn't need to happen with every brake job, but it should happen on schedule.
- Where do you serve?
- Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Apex, Wake Forest, Garner, Fuquay-Varina, Holly Springs, Clayton, Knightdale, Morrisville, Wendell, and Rolesville.
- What's your warranty?
- 12 months or 12,000 miles on parts and labor — whichever comes first.
