Brake Component Replacements

The braking system is the most critical safety feature of your vehicle, and its performance depends on the precise interaction between pads, rotors, and electronic sensors. We provide comprehensive replacement services using components that meet or exceed original equipment standards to ensure consistent stopping power and quiet operation. On many modern European vehicles, this process involves more than just a wrench. It requires diagnostic software to retract electronic parking brakes and reset wear sensors that communicate with the vehicle’s central computer. By ensuring that every clip, shim, and sensor is correctly installed, we maintain the OEM intent pedal feel and emergency braking response your car was engineered to provide.

Comprehensive Fluid Flushes

Fluids are the lifeblood of your vehicle’s mechanical and hydraulic systems, serving as lubricants, coolants, and even signal carriers. Over time, these fluids degrade due to heat, pressure, and environmental contamination. Our flush services go beyond simple drain and fills by removing old, oxidized fluid from the entire system and replacing it with fresh, high performance alternatives. Whether it is the brake fluid that has absorbed moisture or a cooling system that has become acidic, a professional flush restores the chemical protection necessary to prevent internal corrosion and component failure. This proactive maintenance is the single most effective way to avoid the expensive repairs associated with the premature wear of pumps, racks, and internal seals.

Brake Line and Hose Inspection

In regions like Michigan, road salt can lead to the corrosion of metal brake lines, while rubber hoses can swell or crack with age. We inspect the entire hydraulic path to ensure there are no weak points that could lead to a sudden loss of pressure. This is a vital service for vehicles over five years old or those that see significant winter use.

Power Steering System Service

While many newer cars use electric power steering, many performance models still utilize hydraulic systems that require specific fluids. A power steering flush removes metallic debris and protects the rack and pinion from internal wear. For vehicles with electronic steering, we offer zero point calibrations to ensure the steering weight and return-to-center feel are perfectly dialed in.
