Brake Pad and Rotor Replacement

Brake pads and rotors wear down over time through normal driving. Replacing them at the right time helps your vehicle stop safely and protects other parts of the braking system from damage.


At S & J Automotive Service, we inspect the condition of your brake pads and rotors during every brake service. Thin brake pads can reduce stopping power and damage the rotors. Warped or worn rotors can cause shaking, vibrations, and uneven braking. A properly maintained brake system provides smoother stops, better control, and greater peace of mind every time you drive.

ABS Diagnostics and Brake System Repairs

Many modern vehicles are equipped with an anti-lock braking system, also known as ABS. This system helps prevent the wheels from locking during sudden stops and gives you more control during difficult driving conditions. A warning light on the dashboard may indicate that your ABS system is not working properly. Our team can inspect the system, identify the issue, and complete the necessary repair.

Brake Fluid Flushes and Brake Line Repair

Brake fluid plays a major role in the performance of your braking system. Old or contaminated brake fluid can reduce stopping power and lead to internal damage.


A brake fluid flush removes old fluid and replaces it with fresh fluid to help improve performance and protect the system. Our technicians may also inspect your brake lines for leaks, corrosion, or damage.
