Brake Maintenance & Brake Repairs
Nonos76 specializes in brake services, including brake maintenance and brake repairs, to ensure that your vehicle is running at its best, smoothest, and safest.
We offer vehicle inspections where we pinpoint exactly what your car or truck needs.
How Do Brake Repairs Work?
Your wheels are bolted to smooth steel discs called rotors, and a heavy caliper encloses part of the rotor. The caliper houses the brake pads, which are lined with a hard semi-metallic or ceramic friction material. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure forces the pads against the rotor, slowing or stopping the car by friction.

The friction material on the pads can last 40-60,000 miles, which can be as long as five years, according to how many miles you drive. When the parts wear so slowly and gradually, it can be hard to tell when the pads have worn to a point where they need service.

Symptoms of Bad Brakes
Sometimes it might be a bit difficult to tell when your brakes might need servicing.
There are a few tell-tale signs that can help you to diagnose brake issues.
The vehicle has a pronounced pull to one side when braking
The vehicle has a noticeable pulsation or vibration through the brake pedal while braking
Shimmy through the steering wheel while braking
Squeal, groan, or metallic grinding noise while braking.
A tendency for one or more wheels to lock up and skid while braking
Excessive brake pedal travel, i.e. brake pedal goes farther toward the floor before brakes engage
The brake pedal feels “soft” or “spongy” underfoot
