Brake Service
Brake service is crucial to your safety when driving a car. If your brakes fail, you could end up in a ditch, in the side of a building, or smashed against another car. When our skilled staff members check for worn and failing brakes, you can be sure that we take the utmost care to perform a thorough inspection. We check disc brakes, drum brakes and all the brake line that connects the braking system together. Even a small leak in a brake hose can cause an unsafe condition, so we make sure they are always intact when you come into McGee Auto for service.
Our trained technicians are knowledgeable in making repairs on brakes. We fix leaky master cylinders, replacing them if necessary. You will know if your master cylinder is leaking very much because your brake pedal will be spongy-feeling and will sink to the floor until you quickly pump it up again. On top of the master cylinder, there is a reservoir where our technician can check the brake fluid. If the level is too low, he will use correct procedures to fill the fluid until it is at its correct level.
Our team has an excellent track record in diagnosing and fixing all brake problems, including changing brake pads and brake shoes, repairing or replacing leaking wheel cylinders, adjusting the parking brake and making sure your power brake booster is working correctly. Most modern cars have anti-lock brake systems, or ABS. This special braking feature allows drivers to use the physical advantage inherent in brakes that the best stopping power occurs just before the pedal is fully depressed. In the past, people used this knowledge to stop their cars by pumping the brakes with their foot. Now, the anti-lock brake system mimics the same pumping motion to stop your car. The ABS in a car is usually fairly reliable, but if there are any problems, our technicians know the ins and outs of fixing anti-lock brakes. No matter what your braking problem, bring your car in to McGee Auto for a full evaluation. Our service technicians will find out the condition of your braking system. Since our service staff is also skilled at repairing or replacing brake parts, you can count on leaving McGee Auto with a working and safe set of brakes.
