What Drivers are Saying
Ann Hebert
The customer service was exceptional! Erin is super kind, went above and beyond to assist me. I had tire issues,, from another vendor and she called that vendor to assist me. When I dropped my vehicle off for 4 Svcs, she suggested i hold off on 1 until the tires can be assessed, she saved me $$ and was patient and kind. After leaving, my check engine light appeared and when I returned, Skylar came right out, got in the vehicle and started assessing. These 2 are phenomenal!

I literally honestly can’t be more impressed with the entire experience. I was the first a basic oil change (great prices btw). Front desk check is was easy and pleasant the lady was very sweet. Dylan and Evan did a great job and was fast. They will be getting more business from my family.

I was there to make a warranty claim. I believed there was a problem with the evap purge valve. Mechanic Alex diagnosed my engine very quickly. He approved that the purge valve needs to be replaced. The receptionist was quick to contact my insurance and confirm if it covers this case. Within 30 minutes, they brought a new part and installed it. Very fast work. Due to my CarMax warranty, I didn't have to pay anything, but the price on the bill was reasonable for the USA. Also, that price...

I brought my car in for an oil change and tire maintenance. They said my tires just needed air. I drove it home and the next morning one of my tires was flat. I called and they sent a technician to my home, took the tire off my car and brought it to the shop to fix. They returned and put my repaired tire back on. I was upset when it happened but the quick customer centric response was excellent and has made me a loyal customer. I will return and would recommend.
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
