Types of Brake Repairs

Your brakes are among the most important parts on your car. They're responsible for stopping your vehicle, after all. If your brakes malfunction or fail, you, your passengers, and everyone else is at risk. The moment you suspect your brakes might be compromised, it's vital that you visit our Honda service center for an immediate Honda repair.

Brake Pad or Shoe Replacement

Drivers who contact our Houston, TX Honda dealership to ask why they're hearing squealing or screeching sounds emanating from their wheel wells are often relieved when we tell them that the likely cause is worn brake pads or shoes. Newer cars have brake pads whereas older automobiles have shoes. In either case, those components generate the friction that's necessary to slow and stop your vehicle.

As you may have guessed, brake pads and shoes are consumable, meaning they wear down over time. When they experience too much wear and tear, they'll issue audible alerts that signal they need to be replaced.

You can find new brake pads and shoes in our Honda parts center and our trusted team of mechanics can even install them for you.

New Rotor Installation

Your brake pads or shoes rub against your rotors to bring your car to a stop. The friction generated by that contact causes the rotors to wear. When your rotors' smooth surfaces are corrupted due to wear, you'll lose stopping power. Rotors are typically made to last between 50,000 - 70,000 miles, although they may need to be replaced sooner if they experience excessive wear and tear because you wait too long between brake pad or shoe replacements.

Brake Fluid Replacement or Leak Repairs

Modern cars normally have hydraulic brakes, which means they rely on a liquid to operate properly. Even though your brake fluid is in a closed system, it can still become contaminated. If that happens, you'll need to head over to Gillman Honda Houston so our factory-trained, certified technicians can replace the fluid.

Sometimes, brake fluid lines develop leaks. If your brakes don't have enough fluid, they won't perform like they should, thus jeopardizing your safety. A fluid leak may be the cause if you've noticed your brakes aren't operating the way they normally do, so don't hesitate to bring your automobile over to our Honda service center.
