Brake Services

A properly operating brake system helps ensure proper vehicle control, making it your vehicle’s most crucial safety system. If your brakes are not operating correctly, arranging a brake inspection as soon as possible is essential. Brake inspections can reveal everything from low brake fluid levels to the need for a complete brake replacement

Brake replacement and inspection services are available at participating American LubeFast locations. Visit your local service center to learn more.

Brake Inspection Services

Participating American Lubefast® locations offer free brake inspections. If you have any concerns with your brake system, just drop into your local service center, and our skilled technicians will perform a free brake inspection while you wait. We’ll report our findings and recommend the best way to return your brakes to tip-top shape.

rake Pad Replacement Services

Brake pads and other parts of your braking system wear down over time, and eventually, your vehicle will need brake replacement services. Brake pads are most susceptible to wear and tear and may degrade to the point of metal-on-metal contact, which can result in expensive rotor or drum replacement. Arranging brake pad replacement services before this point reduces damage and saves you money. 

Signs Your Car Needs a Brake Service

  • Brake warning light comes on and stays on.
  • Grinding or squealing sounds when you apply the brakes.
  • Vehicle pulls to one side when you apply the brakes.
  • Vehicle vibrates when braking.
  • Burning smells when you apply the brakes.
  • Brake pedal feels soft or “spongy.”
  • Brake pedal goes to the floor or requires excess pressure when braking.

How Often Should You Get Your Brakes Inspected? 

If you notice any of the above signs, drop by any participating American LubeFast service center for a free brake inspection. Otherwise, check your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations for when to arrange a brake inspection. Many drivers have their brakes inspected every six months when their tires are rotated. 

Whether you need a free brake inspection, an oil change, or tune-up services, drop by your local American LubeFast. Our experienced technicians will help keep your vehicle safe, roadworthy, and operating efficiently.
