The common symptoms of a faulty brake system include a feeling that brake pulls when you push the pedal, a pulsing sensation in the brake pedal, a grinding sound or wheels coated with brake dust. Atlantic Tire & Service specializes in brake repair and service. Our team can diagnose and repair a wide variety of brake problems efficiently and quickly.
We offer thorough brake inspections to ensure the safety and reliability of your vehicle’s braking system. Our skilled technicians will carefully examine all components of your brakes to assess their condition and identify any potential issues. Here’s what our brake inspection entails:
Visual Inspection: Our technicians will visually inspect the brake components, including brake pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, and brake fluid reservoir. We’ll look for any signs of wear, damage, or leakage that could affect the braking performance.
Measurement of Brake Pad Thickness: We’ll measure the thickness of the brake pads to determine their remaining life. Worn brake pads may compromise your vehicle’s stopping power and require replacement.
Rotor Inspection: We’ll inspect the brake rotors for any signs of warping, uneven wear, or scoring. Damaged or worn-out rotors can result in reduced braking efficiency and may need resurfacing or replacement.
Brake Caliper Assessment: Our technicians will inspect the brake calipers for proper operation, ensuring they are not sticking or causing uneven pressure on the brake pads. Malfunctioning calipers can lead to uneven brake wear or a spongy brake pedal feel.
Brake Line and Hose Inspection: We’ll check the brake lines and hoses for any leaks, cracks, or damage that could compromise the brake fluid pressure or cause brake failure. Damaged lines or hoses will need to be repaired or replaced promptly.
Brake Fluid Analysis: We’ll assess the condition and level of the brake fluid in the reservoir. Brake fluid that is contaminated or low may indicate a leak or the need for a fluid flush and replacement.
Test Drive and Brake Performance Evaluation: To ensure the overall functionality of your brakes, our technicians may perform a test drive to evaluate the braking system’s performance, responsiveness, and noise levels.
Our skilled technicians specialize in a comprehensive range of brake repairs to ensure optimal performance and safety for your vehicle. Whether it’s replacing worn brake pads, replacing damaged rotors, repairing or replacing faulty brake calipers, or addressing issues with brake lines or hoses, we have you covered.

Over time, brake fluid can become contaminated, leading to reduced brake performance and potential safety hazards. Our skilled technicians will perform a comprehensive brake fluid service, which includes draining the old fluid, inspecting the brake lines for leaks or damage, and filling the system with fresh, high-quality brake fluid that meets manufacturer specifications. This service helps maintain proper brake hydraulic pressure, prevents moisture buildup, and extends the lifespan of brake components. By keeping your brake fluid clean and at the right level, we ensure optimal braking performance and enhance your overall safety on the road.
Brake fluid is unique compared to all of the other fluids in your vehicle. It is “Hygroscopic” which is unique because it is a “dry fluid” that absorbs the moisture in the system. This is designed to keep the moisture/water content out of the system because it lowers the boiling point of the fluid in which could diminish the braking performance under heavy use situations. Though, even if you are an easy braking driver, this fluid is still absorbing moisture and becomes corrosive to the internal components of the braking system. This can cause deterioration of common components like brake calipers, wheel cylinders, ABS components etc. The best thing that anyone can do to prevent this corrosion and deterioration is to change/flush out the brake fluid system, regardless of usage every 24 months.
The ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) is a crucial safety feature that helps prevent wheels from locking up during sudden braking or on slippery surfaces, allowing you to maintain steering control. Our skilled technicians will diagnose and address any ABS-related issues, including ABS warning light illuminations, abnormal braking behavior, or loss of ABS functionality. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the problem, whether it’s a faulty sensor, hydraulic pump, or control module. With our expertise and state-of-the-art equipment, we’ll perform the necessary repairs or replacements to restore the proper functioning of your ABS.

Brake Inspection
Routine brake inspections help you prevent unexpected costs and ensure your vehicle runs smoothly. At Atlantic Tire & Service, our brake inspection includes:
Visual Inspection: Brake components such as pads, rotors, calipers, lines and the fluid reservoir are thoroughly checked for any signs of wear, damage or leakage that could affect braking performance.
Brake Pad Thickness Measurement: Brake pad thickness is measured to gauge their remaining lifespan. If the pads are worn, they can reduce your vehicle’s stopping power and will require replacement.
Rotor Inspection: Brake rotors are examined for warping, uneven wear or scoring. Worn or damaged rotors can reduce braking efficiency and may require replacement.
Brake Caliper Assessment: Brake calipers are inspected to ensure they function properly without sticking or applying uneven pressure to the pads. Faulty calipers can lead to uneven brake wear or a spongy brake pedal.
Brake Line and Hose Inspection: Brake lines and hoses are checked for leaks, cracks or damage that could affect brake fluid pressure or cause brake failure. Detecting these issues early helps ensure timely repairs or replacements.
Brake Fluid Analysis: Assess the condition and level of brake fluid to see if it’s contaminated or low, ensuring your brakes remain responsive and reliable.
Test Drive and Brake Performance Evaluation: To confirm your brakes are functioning correctly, our technicians might perform a test drive to assess the system’s performance, responsiveness and noise levels.
Brake Pad Replacement
As brake pads wear down over time, they can impact your vehicle’s stopping power. Our technicians carefully inspect and replace your brake pads with high-quality parts to ensure smooth and reliable braking performance, giving you peace of mind every time you drive.
Rotor Replacement
Brake rotors are crucial for effective braking, as they provide a smooth surface for the brake pads to grip and bring your vehicle to a stop. Worn or damaged rotors can reduce braking efficiency and increase stopping distances. Replacing them ensures reliable and smooth braking performance, giving you confidence with every stop.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) helps you stay in control during hard braking, especially on slippery or uneven surfaces, by preventing wheel lock-up and allowing you to steer. If your ABS isn’t working properly, you may lose control in critical situations. Regular diagnostics and repairs ensure your ABS remains effective, helping you confidently handle emergencies and difficult driving conditions.
Unusual noises or changes in braking performance could indicate underlying problems with your braking system. Addressing these issues promptly helps prevent more severe problems and ensures your vehicle remains safe and reliable.
Squeaking or Grinding Noises
These noises usually signal worn brake pads or other braking system issues. Ignoring them can reduce braking efficiency, increase stopping distances and risk brake failure. Prolonged use of worn brakes can damage other components like the rotors, leading to more expensive repairs and compromising your vehicle’s safety.
Vibration When Braking
Feeling a vibration or pulsation when you press the brake pedal? This could signal warped rotors, which can affect your vehicle’s braking performance. Addressing this issue promptly helps prevent further damage to your rotors and brake pads, avoids costly repairs and keeps you safe on the road.
Longer Stopping Distances
If you notice that you need more distance to come to a full stop, worn or deteriorating brake components might be the cause. This reduction in braking power can seriously impact your ability to react quickly to sudden stops or emergencies. Our team will diagnose the issue and perform the necessary repairs to restore your vehicle’s braking performance.
