Brake Repair
Is a soft pedal, grinding noise, or dashboard warning light making you wonder if your brakes are still keeping you safe? At Kleyn Auto, we deliver reliable, professional brake repair that gets you confidently back on the road—without the guesswork.
Brake Repair Services That Keep You in Control
Your brakes work hard every time you drive. Pads squeeze, brake shoes press, and brake drums absorb thousands of pounds of stopping force. Over time, friction material thins and hydraulic parts wear, causing longer stops, pulsations, or that tell‑tale brake warning light.
Our ASE‑ and master‑certified technicians inspect the system end‑to‑end—rotors, calipers, wheel cylinders, hydraulic hoses, and ABS sensors—so you know exactly what needs attention. Expect:
- Precise measurement of rotor thickness and run‑out
- Fluid‑boiling‑point test and full brake inspection report
- OEM‑grade pad and shoe replacement
- Parking‑brake adjustment and cable lubrication
- Road test to confirm smooth, even brake service performance
Because we’re a Certified Parts Plus Service Center, every repair carries a nationwide warranty for extra peace of mind.

Why Would My Brakes Suddenly Stop Working?
A sudden loss of braking usually traces to fluid leaks, ruptured hoses, or a failed master cylinder that can no longer build hydraulic pressure. Sometimes overheated pads “glaze” and dramatically lower friction. Whatever the cause, continued driving is unsafe—have the system inspected immediately and avoid pumping the pedal, which can worsen fluid loss.
How Can I Diagnose Brake Problems While At Home?
Start by noting sounds and sensations: squeals often indicate worn pads, grinding points to metal‑on‑metal contact, and steering‑wheel vibration suggests warped rotors. Check your brake‑fluid level and look for leaks on the inside of wheels. Even if everything looks normal, any change in pedal height, stiffness, or stopping distance warrants professional inspection to prevent bigger failures down the line.
