Pads, rotors, calipers, lines
Brakes at your place.
Grinding, squealing, a pedal that goes soft or a wheel that locks up. Brakes are the one repair nobody should put off — and one Jay can do in your driveway in an afternoon.
Call him if
- Grinding, squealing or scraping when you stop
- Pedal feels soft, spongy or goes to the floor
- Steering wheel shakes when braking
- A wheel is locking up or the car pulls to one side
- Brake light or ABS light on the dash
How Jay handles it
Brakes are the repair where mobile service makes the most sense. There is nothing about a pad-and-rotor job that needs a lift — it needs a jack, the right torque spec and somebody who has done it a few thousand times.
Jay pulls the wheel, measures the rotor, shows you the pad thickness and tells you exactly where you stand. If you have life left, he'll say so. If you're metal-on-metal, you'll see the photo.
One customer had a truck down for months with brakes that kept locking up. Several shops replaced parts and never found it. Jay found it. That's the kind of brake work this is.
What’s covered
- Front and rear pads and rotors
- Calipers, brackets, hardware and slide pins
- Brake hoses and hard lines
- Master cylinder and brake booster
- Full system bleed and road test
Straight answers
Brakes questions people actually ask
Can you replace brake pads and rotors at my house?
Yes — that is one of the most common jobs Jay does. He brings the jack, stands, torque wrench and parts to your driveway and road-tests the car before he leaves.
How long does a brake job take?
Pads and rotors on one axle usually run about an hour to an hour and a half in your driveway. All four corners takes most of an afternoon.
My brakes are grinding — how bad is that?
Grinding usually means the friction material is gone and you're on the backing plate, which chews up the rotor and can cost you the caliper too. It's worth calling the same day at (832) 528-0270.
Do you do brakes on trucks and vans?
Yes — light trucks, heavy half-tons, vans and work trucks included.
