Why Brake Maintenance Matters
Your brakes don’t just help you stop—they help you avoid accidents. Over time, brake pads wear down, rotors can warp, and fluid may become contaminated, compromising the entire system. Neglecting brake maintenance can lead to:
- Longer stopping distances
- Noise and vibration
- Uneven tire wear
- Reduced handling control
- Complete brake failure
At Ray Gordon Brake Service, we make sure none of that happens. We catch problems early and fix them right the first time.
Our Complete Brake Services
We specialize in
comprehensive brake system care, and our trained technicians have deep experience with both domestic and foreign vehicles. Below is a breakdown of the services we offer:
Brake Inspections
If your brakes are acting up, don’t guess—get a professional inspection. Our team will carefully examine:
- Brake pads and shoes
- Rotors and drums
- Calipers and pistons
- Brake lines and hoses
- Master cylinder and fluid
- ABS sensors (if equipped)
Once we complete the inspection, we’ll provide a clear diagnosis and walk you through what (if anything) needs repair or replacement. You’ll get honest answers with no pressure and no upselling.
Brake Pad Replacement
Brake pads are designed to wear out over time. When they do, they create noise, reduce braking power, and damage rotors. We replace pads using high-quality materials that match your vehicle’s original equipment specs or better.
- Ceramic, semi-metallic, and OEM-equivalent pads available
- Noise-reducing shim technology
- Guaranteed fit and performance
- Faster stops and longer pad life
Brake Rotor Resurfacing & Replacement
Worn or warped rotors can cause pulsating brakes and reduce your stopping power. We’ll inspect your rotors and determine whether resurfacing is safe or if full replacement is needed. If replacement is necessary, we use only trusted brands that deliver consistent performance and a long lifespan.
Brake Caliper Service
Calipers apply pressure to your brake pads, enabling them to grip the rotor and slow the car. Faulty calipers can stick, leak, or cause uneven pad wear. We service and replace calipers as needed and ensure that all parts move smoothly and safely.
Brake Fluid Flush & Bleeding
Over time, brake fluid attracts moisture, reducing hydraulic pressure and risking internal corrosion. A brake fluid flush restores clean, dry fluid to your system, improving safety and braking responsiveness.
We recommend flushing your brake fluid approximately every
2 years, or as specified in your vehicle’s maintenance guide.
ABS Diagnosis and Repair
If your ABS (anti-lock brake system) light is on, our team can help. We’ll read the codes, pinpoint the issue, and repair faulty sensors, wiring, or control modules.
Your ABS helps prevent skidding in emergency stops—we make sure it works when you need it most.
