What Drivers are Saying
Collen Kukaj
They are always good to me and let me know how to space repairs with safety in mind. They help apply appropriate current coupons too. I hate spending money but the experience has always been pleasant with EVERY employee there despite! And the cookies? Nice touch! Shoulda married that mechanic back in the 90's from high school, oh the $ I would have saved! I wanted handsome AND handy... Keep up the great work! - Greedy Gerdie, AKA Colleen Spencer

Miles is always so professional with a friendly demeanor! Whenever we have car troubles we don't stress because we know our car will be well taken care in a timely manner. Javier is also super friendly! Definitely will continue coming here!
Maria Cotts
While in Elgin, my vehicle tire light came on and we stopped here where the staff literally stopped what they were doing to help me. He was very attentive to details. Although they didn't have my tires in stock the filled my ties with as much air as possible to get me to another tire shop. At no charge at all!Now a days this is very rare! Great services. So much appreciated. Good to know there are still some good business.
Brad Shuler
My experience with the knowledgeable service writers and experienced service crew in the back was amazing. They were fair priced, offered financing if needed, and were quick getting my car fixed. Highly recommend you go see Brad or Miles for all your car care needs.
Brake Services 101
Your brakes work like a trio: you (the operator), hydraulic pressure, and friction. No matter what car or truck you have, all brake systems use and create friction to slow you down.
Signs you need brake services
Like a pair of favorite shoes, brakes wear down over time. Regular fluid flushes and periodic brake services are essential to avoid a full brake replacement. Aside from a warning light turning on, here are some telltale signs you may need a brake repair:
- Vibration or shaking when you brake
- Grinding or high-pitch squealing noises
- A low or fading brake pedal
- Your car pulls to one side when you brake
- Leaking brake fluid (yellow or honey-colored)

What to expect while we inspect your brake system
During each of our brake services, our Roadworthy™ technicians will test drive your car, check the brake fluid, and flush the system of any contaminants if needed. We’ll also check for any signs a brake replacement or repair is in order. Signs like:
- Issues in the brake lines and hoses
- Mysterious leaks
- Emergency brake performance
- Brake pad issues
Avoiding brake repairs
The best way to prevent unwanted squeals and dangerous driving is regular brake inspection. Though it depends on driving habits, terrain, and parts quality, brake pads generally last between 30,000 to 70,000 miles (we know, that's a big a range).
- Consult your owner's manual for a more accurate mileage range
- Make a note on your calendar
- Come in earlier if you experience any of the signs and symptoms above
