Vehicle Brake Services

Vehicle Brake Services in Burnside, NS

Many of the components in your vehicle are dedicated to making it go. The engine generates power, the transmission moderates and transfers that power, the axles use that power to turn your wheels, and your wheels propel your vehicle forward. That’s all great, but eventually you need to stop. And that’s the job of your brakes.

Nothing is more important to us at NS Diesel than safety, and your brakes are pretty much your vehicle’s number one safety feature. That’s why we offer a variety of brake services. If you suspect your brakes are underperforming, you should bring your vehicle in for a brake inspection and brake service right away. If you’ve been searching for “brake repair near me” in Burnside, NS Diesel & Automotive can help.

If you’re in or near Burnside, NS Diesel & Automotive can provide all the brake services you need. Our technicians are knowledgeable and skilled at fixing and maintaining many different components of your vehicle, but nothing is more important than your brakes.

Your brakes are what allow you to come to a safe stop. However, your brakes are not just one single part, they are part of a system of different components that work together.  They apply enough friction to your wheels to make them stop turning. Because your brakes are an intricate set of components, brake service can be complicated.

  • Squealing, grinding, and otherwise loud braking noises
  • Pulsation issues
  • Drum maintenance
  • Inspecting and servicing rotors
  • Calipers inspection and service
  • Brake pad inspection and replacement
  • Brake line service and hydraulic fluid top-ups
  • Brake fluid flushes
  • ABS (anti-lock braking system) inspection
  • And more!

How often do brakes need repairs?

Braking is a strenuous process and brakes are a common stress point in vehicles. Brakes often wear down quicker than other parts of vehicles. Because of all the friction they experience, brake pads often need to be replaced. In addition to the actual breaks,  braking can put a lot of stress on other components such as tires, wheels, and calipers.  It is important to have these components inspected as well, for repairs or replacement as necessary.

It’s wise to look out for potential brake problems. Signs of brake problems include delayed braking, pulsations, high-pitched squealing noises, and more. Ignoring signs like these is unwise and, essentially, the braking equivalent of ignoring your check engine light.

Routine brake maintenance can be as important as repairing faulty brakes. A proper brake maintenance schedule includes regular ABS inspection, e.g., every autumn. Brake maintenance schedules can save you money by avoiding costlier brake repairs in the future and increasing the tread life and longevity of your tires.
