To see if you need rotor or brake repair, a braking evaluation helps. We check your brakes to determine the extent of rotor or brake repair needs. Your brakes and rotors can become worn over time, and brake repair is often warranted when the brake pads aren't changed before they wear out. This causes heavy friction that leads to early wear and brake repair. Our team handles brake repair for a wide variety of makes and models.

There are many potential issues that are tied to a check engine light coming on. A faulty oxygen sensor is a common cause of a check engine light coming on.
