ORIGINAL PARTS ONLY
Brake System Overhaul
Grinding sounds mean the friction material is entirely gone. Driving on bare metal destroys rotors immediately. South Bay Auto Repairs performs complete brake system overhauls.
We measure rotor thickness using digital micrometers. Rotors below minimum specifications require replacement.
Our mechanics will check caliper slide pins for proper lubrication. Sticking calipers cause uneven pad wear and vehicle pulling. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time.

Fluid Contamination and ABS Systems
Contaminated fluid lowers the boiling point and compromises stopping distance. We flush the hydraulic system completely. Releasing air from the lines to restore a firm pedal feel.
