West Bend & Hubertus Auto Repair

Brakes; they are important! As we all know brakes are what stop our vehicle as we are out driving. If anyone has had their brakes go out on them, we know it can be terrifying! Brake lines play in important role in the vehicle's overall brake performance. The brake lines allow your vehicle to turn pedal pressure into stopping power.

Call today to set up an appointment for us to look over your braking system and try to prevent any costly repairs

Throughout October automotive repair shops across the country are looking to end breast cancer with a unique fundraising campaign.

For example, you may hear noises when the brake pedal is depressed (pushed down), the brake pedal may start to be able to be pressed fully down to the floor of the vehicle, or you may even feel a pulsation in the brake pedal when stepping on it. What are the components of the brakes on your vehicle you may ask? On your brakes there is the rotor (which is the big circular piece you see underneath the tire) and the brake pads (which is the smaller piece that sits on top of that brake rotor). When you step on your brake pedal the pads come together squeezing the rotor causing the rotor (and tire) to stop rotation and stop your vehicle.
