Brake replacement, maintenance, and service in Calgary, AB.

Brakes tell you when something’s wrong

If your brake pedal feels spongy, vibrates, or needs to be pushed further than usual, or your vehicle pulls to the side when braking, or you hear squealing or grinding noises… It’s time to have your car serviced.

Brake fluid

Generally, braking systems work with brake fluid and hoses connecting the master cylinder to each wheel’s brake. Pushing the pedal creates hydraulic pressure that sends fluid from the master cylinder through the hoses to the brakes.

NAPA AUTOPRO Tip

Brake pads are designed to wear out and they will tell you when it’s time to replace them by making squealing and grinding noises. After a thorough inspection, a common repair may be simply to replace the ceramic brake pads. If left unmaintained too long, a larger, more expensive repair may require replacing the rotors and calipers.
