The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) ensures your wheels keep rotating during braking, preventing skidding and providing better control. If your ABS light illuminates, visit Ace Auto Center Express for a diagnosis and professional repair.
Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air over time, diminishing brake effectiveness and becoming corrosive, potentially harming the system. Regular brake fluid flushes are vital to ensure fresh fluid usage in your vehicle. Consult our technicians at Ace Auto Center Express to determine the right time for a brake fluid flush.
A brake hose carries pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A damaged hose can lead to delayed or weak braking, and a leak may result in brake failure. While the need for a replacement brake hose isn’t common, any signs of cracking or wear should prompt immediate replacement.
Squealing brakes often indicate brake pad issues. When brake pads deteriorate completely, a harsh metal-on-metal grinding noise occurs during braking, indicating potential rotor or drum damage. Although experienced individuals may attempt home repairs, if you have brake concerns, it’s best to consult an auto repair professional promptly.

In a disc brake system, rotors attach to your vehicle’s wheels. The friction with brake pads over time creates grooves and cracks. The process of resurfacing restores rotors to a “like-new” condition, reducing noise and wobbling. At Ace Auto Center Express, we inspect your rotors thoroughly and recommend the best course of action.

Learn about some of the common questions you may have:
Squeaking from your brakes can be caused by a variety of factors, including debris like stones caught in the caliper, or it may indicate that the brake pads are wearing thin.
A grinding noise from your brakes often means urgent maintenance is needed. This sound can indicate that the brake pads have worn down completely, causing metal-to-metal contact that can damage your rotors.
Vibration during braking is commonly due to uneven rotor surfaces. Misshapen rotors can cause the car to shake when the brakes are applied. Resurfacing or replacing the rotors at Ace Auto Center Express can correct this issue and restore smooth braking.
A burning smell from your brakes could indicate they are overheating. If you notice this along with smoke from the wheels, it’s important to pull over safely and check if the brakes have cooled. Continuous driving could lead to further damage.
Common indicators that it’s time to replace your brake pads include hearing squeaking or grinding noises and seeing the brake warning light on your dashboard.
