Brake Work Without the Guessing Game

Brakes are the one repair nobody should put off, and also the one most often oversold. A shop that quotes four wheels of pads and rotors over the phone is guessing. We measure first, then quote the axle that actually needs the work.

Driving the I-70 grades between Georgetown and Idaho Springs builds a lot of heat in the brakes, so rotors here wear and warp sooner than the national averages suggest. That is why we check rotor thickness and runout as well as pad depth, and why the quote says plainly whether a rotor can be resurfaced or has to be replaced.

Our brake work carries a one-year, 12,000-mile repair warranty; a part we fitted that fails inside that window gets replaced.

What Shapes a Brake Price

Which axle
Front brakes usually wear faster than rear. We price only the axle that measures worn.
Rotor condition
Rotors above minimum thickness and free of heavy scoring can often be resurfaced instead of replaced, which lowers the cost.
Parts grade
Commuter, heavy-duty and towing pads differ in price and life. We recommend the grade that fits how you drive.
Extra hardware
A seized caliper, a rusted line or old fluid adds to the job. Each is listed separately so you can see it.

Included in a Brake Job

  • Pad and rotor measurement at every wheel
  • New pads with fresh hardware and lubricated slides
  • Rotors resurfaced or replaced as measured
  • Caliper inspection and replacement if seized
  • Brake fluid condition test and exchange when due
  • ABS warning light scan when the light is on
  • Bed-in procedure for the new pads
  • Road test to confirm straight, quiet stops

Brakes: Now or Next Month?

Book soon if

  • You hear grinding or metal scraping
  • The pedal sinks or feels soft
  • The vehicle pulls hard when you brake
  • The brake warning light is on

Can usually wait if

  • Pads measure above a few millimeters
  • A light squeal fades after the first stops
  • Rotors show only light surface marks
  • Fluid tests fine and the pedal is firm

When in doubt, have them measured. A free inspection settles the question in minutes, and it costs nothing to find out the brakes have months left.
