Our Specialization: We Focus on What Matters

While many shops offer a little bit of everything, we specialize solely in brakes and CV axles. This focused expertise allows us to diagnose problems more accurately, complete repairs more efficiently, and deliver safer results that last longer.

When you come to Ray Gordon Brake Service, you’re getting a shop that lives and breathes brake systems—not general repair work. We take pride in doing one thing and doing it right.


Our Core Services

We offer a full range of professional brake and CV axle services in Tallahassee, Florida, tailored to meet your vehicle’s safety and performance needs:


Brake Inspections and Diagnostics

Are your brakes squeaking, grinding, vibrating, or just not stopping like they used to? Bring your vehicle in for a comprehensive brake inspection. Our certified technicians perform a thorough analysis of:

  • Brake pads and shoes
  • Rotors and drums
  • Calipers
  • Brake fluid levels and condition
  • Hydraulic components
  • ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) functionality

We’ll explain exactly what’s going on and offer recommendations without the pressure or gimmicks.


Brake Pad and Shoe Replacement

Brake pads and shoes wear down over time. When it’s time to replace them, we use high-quality parts designed to match or exceed OEM standards. You’ll get quieter braking, better stopping power, and longer-lasting components. We service disc and drum systems on most makes and models.


Rotor and Drum Resurfacing or Replacement

If your brake rotors or drums are warped, scored, or below thickness specs, they can cause vibration, uneven braking, or total system failure. Our team can resurface rotors when safe or recommend a full replacement if necessary. Proper rotor care ensures smooth braking and longer pad life.


Brake Caliper Repair and Replacement

Calipers control the hydraulic pressure that engages your brake pads. When calipers stick or fail, they can damage other components or reduce your stopping ability. We inspect, service, or replace calipers as needed for maximum safety.


Brake Fluid Flush and Bleeding

Contaminated or old brake fluid can reduce stopping power and lead to internal corrosion. We provide full brake fluid flushes and bleeding, restoring your system’s pressure and responsiveness.


ABS Diagnostics and Repairs

Modern vehicles rely on ABS (Anti-lock Braking Systems) for safety in sudden stops. If your ABS warning light is on or your system is acting up, our team has the tools to diagnose and repair ABS issues quickly and correctly.


CV Axle Services

In addition to brake work, we offer professional CV axle repair and replacement. Constant velocity (CV) axles transfer power from your transmission to your wheels—and when they fail, you may hear clicking sounds, feel vibration, or notice poor handling. We’ll inspect your axles, boots, and joints, and replace them if needed with high-quality parts that restore smooth performance.
