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 Transmatics Transmissions & Auto Repair offers.
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 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 Transmatics Transmissions & Auto Repair where we will be happy to diagnose and fix the problem.
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 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 Transmatics Transmissions & Auto Repair about when it's time for a brake fluid flush.
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 Transmatics Transmissions & Auto Repair as soon as possible.
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. Transmatics Transmissions & Auto Repair, will give your rotors a thorough inspection and recommend your best course of action.

Grinding can indicate severely worn friction material or another contact problem. Continued driving can worsen damage and braking performance. Stop using the vehicle if braking is reduced and contact Transmatics Transmissions & Auto Repair for inspection and towing advice.
A hydraulic leak, air, or a component fault can reduce braking ability. Pull over safely and do not continue driving with an unreliable pedal. Arrange a tow and let Transmatics Transmissions & Auto Repair inspect the braking system.
Brake rotor variation, wheel or tire concerns, and suspension wear are possible causes. Tell Transmatics Transmissions & Auto Repair whether the shake occurs only during braking or also at a steady speed; an inspection is needed to distinguish them.
An ABS warning can mean anti-lock assistance is unavailable, even when conventional braking remains. Follow your owner's manual. If a red brake warning also appears or braking feels abnormal, stop and arrange a tow; Transmatics Transmissions & Auto Repair can assess the fault.
Uneven brake action, tire issues, or steering and suspension wear may be responsible. If the pull makes the vehicle hard to control, stop driving. Transmatics Transmissions & Auto Repair can inspect the brake and related systems before recommending a repair.
