You can leave the repairs and services to our professionals, but please don't hesitate to ask us questions about why a service is needed or how it occurred. Give us a call at and we will be happy to speak with you. Here is some valuable information on brake issues and corrective services Four Points Auto Repair & Service offers.
Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement
Brake pad problems can usually be identified by squealing brakes. If your brake pads deteriorate completely, you'll hear a grinding metal-on-metal sound when braking, meaning that it's too late and you're ruining your rotors or drums! Those with knowledge of auto repair may be able to fix this at home, but you should always see an auto repair professional immediately if you have brake problems.
Anti-Lock Brake System
Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) ensure that the wheels don't stop rotating during braking, preventing the car from skidding and offering greater control. If your ABS light comes on, visit Four Points Auto Repair & Service where we will be happy to diagnose and fix the problem.
Brake Hoses
A brake hose is a tube carrying pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A crushed hose can cause a lagged or slow brake, and a leak in the hose can cause the brake, or the entire brake system, to fail. These don't need to be replaced often, but should be replaced at the first sign of cracking or wear.
Brake Fluid Flushes
Brake fluid will absorb water from the air over time, causing the brake system to become less effective and the fluid to become corrosive, possibly damaging the system. It is important to perform a brake fluid flush regularly to ensure that your vehicle is using fresh fluid. Talk to our technicians at Four Points Auto Repair & Service about when it's time for a brake fluid flush.
Caliper Replacement
The brake caliper houses your brake pads and fits around the rotor like a clamp, pressing the pads against the rotor when you brake. A brake caliper problem could cause uneven braking, making your car slide forward when you brake. Uneven braking can also cause your vehicle to slide out of control in bad weather conditions, so contact Four Points Auto Repair & Service as soon as possible.
Resurface Rotors
In a disc brake system, rotors are attached to your vehicle's wheels. When the brake pads grip the rotor, they bring both the rotor and wheels to a stop. However, the friction causes grooves and cracks to appear over time. Resurfacing brings the rotor back to a "like-new" condition, reducing squealing and wobbling. Four Points Auto Repair & Service, will give your rotors a thorough inspection and recommend your best course of action.

Questions about Brakes & Brake Repair
Troubleshooting Guide
What are signs that my brakes need to be repaired?
Look for squealing or grinding noises, vibrations when braking, a soft pedal, or longer stopping distances. Addressing brake problems early can help avoid costly repairs. Contact Four Points Auto Repair & Service to discuss your vehicle’s symptoms.
Why does my steering wheel shake when I brake?
This could indicate warped rotors, uneven brake pad wear, or suspension issues. It’s important to have it diagnosed promptly to maintain safe braking. Contact Four Points Auto Repair & Service to discuss your vehicle’s symptoms.
What should I do if the brake pedal suddenly feels soft?
A soft pedal may indicate air or a leak in the hydraulic system. If braking is reduced, stop safely and do not continue driving. Arrange safe transport and contact Four Points Auto Repair & Service for brake inspection.
Why does my car pull to one side when braking?
Uneven braking, a sticking component, or a tire or suspension issue can cause pulling. Have Four Points Auto Repair & Service inspect the cause, especially if control or stopping ability changes.
What does an ABS warning light mean?
An ABS warning can indicate a fault in the anti-lock braking system. Follow your owner’s manual; if the brake warning light is also on or braking changes, stop safely. Four Points Auto Repair & Service repairs ABS systems.
