Why Brake Maintenance Matters
Timely brake service keeps stopping distances short, prevents costly damage to rotors and calipers, and protects you in Kelowna’s mixed driving conditions—downtown traffic, Okanagan hills, and winter roads.
Common Signs You Need Brake Repairs
- Squealing or grinding noises: Often indicates worn pads or metal-on-metal contact.
- Vibration or pulsing: A shaking pedal or steering wheel can signal rotor issues.
- Soft or spongy pedal: May point to air in lines, fluid issues, or hydraulic concerns.
- Dashboard warning lights: ABS/brake lights mean the system needs attention.
- Longer stopping distances: Noticeably reduced braking performance = time to inspect.

Brake Service FAQs
How often should I replace my brake pads?
It depends on driving style and conditions. Many drivers see 40,000–80,000 km. We’ll measure pad thickness and provide photos so you can decide confidently.
Do I need new rotors or just pads?
If rotors are in spec and in good shape, they may not need replacement. If below minimum thickness, warped, or heat-checked, we’ll recommend new rotors and show you why.
How long does a brake job take?
Most pad-and-rotor services are completed the same day once approved. We’ll confirm a realistic timeline with your estimate.
Which vehicles do you service?
Most makes and models including domestic, import, SUVs, and trucks—plus ABS diagnostics and repair.
