Comprehensive Brake Repair Services You Can Count On

Brake Pad Replacement Services

Brake pads are your first line of defense when stopping. Over time, they wear down and need to be replaced to maintain braking performance and vehicle safety. At Telle Tire, we make brake pad replacement simple, affordable, and fast. Our technicians inspect, remove, and replace brake pads using high-quality components that meet or exceed the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) standards.

Brake Line Repair

The brake lines carry the hydraulic pressure needed to engage the brakes. If there’s a leak, crack, or break, your stopping power is compromised. We provide thorough brake line repair services to restore safe, responsive braking. Whether it’s replacing corroded lines or addressing fluid leaks, we’ll pinpoint the problem and fix it fast.

Rotor & Caliper Services

Brake issues aren’t always caused by pads. That’s why we inspect your entire braking system—especially the rotors and calipers. Warped rotors, sticking calipers, or uneven tire wear can affect your vehicle’s braking ability. We’ll determine whether resurfacing or replacement is necessary to restore peak performance.

Brake Fluid

Brake fluid plays a crucial role in your vehicle’s safety. We’ll check the condition and level of your fluid and perform a flush or top-off if needed. Clean, properly pressurized fluid ensures smooth, reliable braking every time you hit the pedal.

Brake Repair Services FAQs

At Telle Tire, we’re capable of servicing and repairing any type of brake system, no matter what kind of vehicle you drive.

Disc Brakes

Most vehicles today use disc brakes, which rely on calipers squeezing brake pads against a rotor. Over time, the pads wear down and need replacement. Our team also resurfaces or replaces rotors as needed to maintain smooth, consistent braking.

Drum Brakes

Though less common, drum brakes are still found on the rear wheels of many cars and trucks. These systems use brake shoes that press outward against a spinning drum. If you noticed reduced stopping power or strange noises from the rear wheels, Telle Tire can inspect and repair or replace drums, shoes, and wheel cylinders.

The lifespan of brake pads depends on your driving habits, vehicle type, and the materials used. Most pads last between 25,000 and 70,000 miles, but it’s best to have them checked during routine service. At Telle Tire, we inspect your brake pads during every visit to help prevent unexpected issues.

Recognizing the warning signs can prevent more serious damage or safety issues. Here’s what to watch for:

  • Squealing or Grinding Noises: High-pitched noises typically mean the pads are worn. Grinding sounds indicate metal-on-metal contact, which can quickly damage rotors and lead to expensive repairs.
  • Vibration or Pulsation: Warped rotors can cause your brake pedal to vibrate or pulsate during use.
  • Brake Pedal Sinks to the Floor: This may signal a hydraulic issue, such as a failing master cylinder or fluid leak.
  • Hard-to-Press Pedal: A stiff pedal may indicate a problem with the power assist system.
  • Brake Warning Light: Your dashboard brake light may indicate low brake fluid, worn brake pads, or other system issues.
  • Contaminated Brake Fluid: Moisture or improper fluids can weaken your braking system, requiring immediate attention.
