Premier Brake Services at The Car Shop of VB

When it comes to your vehicle's safety, a reliable braking system is paramount. At The Car Shop of VB in Virginia Beach, VA, we offer comprehensive brake services to ensure your car stops safely every time. Our expert technicians handle everything from brake inspections to ABS diagnosis and repair. We cater to both foreign and domestic vehicles, providing services such as:

Brake Inspections

A thorough brake inspection is key to identifying potential issues early. Our technicians will check the condition of your brake pads, rotors, fluid levels, and other vital components to ensure your braking system is in top shape. We recommend a brake inspection every 12,000 miles or if you notice any signs of trouble.

Brake Pad Replacement

Brake pads are designed to wear down over time. When they become too thin, they can’t effectively grip the rotor, leading to reduced stopping power. We provide high-quality brake pads and perform quick, efficient replacements to keep your brakes working like new.

Brake Rotor Services

If your rotors are worn, warped, or damaged, your brakes won’t function as they should. We offer rotor resurfacing for minor damage or replacement if they are beyond repair. Our technicians will ensure the rotors are smooth and properly fitted to ensure optimal braking performance.

Brake Fluid Flush and Replacement

Brake fluid plays a vital role in transmitting the force from your foot to the brake pads. Over time, brake fluid can become contaminated or lose effectiveness. A brake fluid flush ensures your system remains free of moisture and contaminants, maintaining its reliability.

Brake Line Repair and Replacement

If you notice a soft brake pedal or reduced braking power, your brake lines may have a leak or other issue. We inspect and repair brake lines to maintain the integrity of your braking system, ensuring no fluid is lost and your vehicle can stop safely.

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) Diagnosis and Repair

If your ABS warning light is on, there may be a problem with the anti-lock braking system. Our team can quickly diagnose ABS issues and provide necessary repairs to ensure your vehicle can safely stop in all conditions, especially in emergency situations.

Parking Brake Repair and Adjustment

If your parking brake isn’t holding your vehicle securely, it may need adjustment or repair. We provide expert parking brake services, from simple adjustments to complete repairs, ensuring your parking brake works properly.

When to Schedule Our Brake Services

Don't wait until it's too late. Knowing when to get brake service can save you from costly repairs and ensure your vehicle remains safe. Here are some signs to look out for:

• Squeaking or grinding noises: a high-pitched squeak or grinding sound when applying the brakes could indicate worn-out brake pads or debris in the braking system.

• Soft or spongy brake pedal: if your brake pedal feels unusually soft or sinks to the floor, it could be a sign of air or moisture in the brake lines.

• Vibrations or pulsing: if your steering wheel or pedal vibrates when braking, it could mean your rotors are warped or uneven.

• Pulling to one side: if your vehicle pulls to one side when braking, it could indicate uneven brake pad wear or a problem with your braking system.

• Warning light: if your brake warning light or ABS light comes on, it’s time to bring your car in for a diagnostic check.
