Brake Repair in League City, TX

Quality Repairs 

The team at Hanson’s Automotive uses only high-quality replacement parts. We pay full attention to every detail of your braking system. The most common brake repair is one that all vehicles need periodically. Most brake pads are made of a metallic composite. They’re durable, but they don’t last forever. We’ll need to replace them when they wear below the minimum safe thickness. If you have not already come in for routine service, you’ll likely begin to hear squealing when you brake as you approach the repair window. Manufacturers embed tabs that become exposed as the pads wear thin. These make noise, reminding you to schedule a repair visit. Other things can also go wrong with your car’s brakes. When you press the pedal, brake fluid leaves the master cylinder and travels through hoses to the smaller cylinder at each wheel. There, the fluid force moves the brake caliper, which forces the pad against the rotor, a large metal disc inside the wheel. If your brake pedal begins to feel spongy underfoot, the system may have a low fluid level caused by a cracked master cylinder, a leaking hose, or another issue. Noticeable vibration during braking is usually indicative of a warped rotor. The disc should be smooth and even, but heat can cause warping. A burning odor can mean that a brake caliper is stuck or you forgot to disengage the emergency brake before driving. Any other braking concerns, including increased stopping distances, should also prompt a visit.
