Brake Services

Brakes are one of the most important safety systems on your vehicle, and like anything with moving parts, they wear down over time. Catching issues early helps you avoid costly repairs and ensures you can stop safely when it counts. If your brakes start to feel soft, sound noisy, or just seem off, it’s a good idea to have them inspected at Grease Monkey.

How Brake Services work

Inside the Grease Monkey Brake Inspection

We check every bit—pedal feel, fluid level, brake lines and hoses, pads, drums, rotors, and your parking brake.

Brake fluid can get gunky with copper bits over time. We test it, and if it’s past its prime, we’ll recommend a flush to keep your system clean and corrosion-free.

Things to Think About

Catch the Signs Early and Keep Your Stops Smooth and Safe

Follow your owner’s manual for service intervals—usually every six months or after a certain number of miles. Staying on schedule helps catch issues before they become bigger (and more expensive) problems.

Don’t wait for your manual to tell you—your brakes will speak up when something’s off. Keep an eye (and ear) out for these signs:

Soft or spongy pedal
Grinding
Squealing, or strange noises
Car pulling to one side when braking
Brake or ABS warning light on
Steering wheel shaking when you hit the brakes
Jerky or vibrating stops
