Complete brake services for safety and reliability
Tri City Tire & Automotive offers pad and rotor replacement, ABS diagnostics, and brake fluid exchange with precision and care to ensure your vehicle stops safely every time.
Brakes stop your vehicle and protect you from collisions. Worn pads, warped rotors, leaking lines, or compromised braking components can increase stopping distance, cause noise or vibration, and risk brake failure.
Timely brake service prevents dangerous situations and often reduces repair costs by addressing wear before it causes secondary damage.

Quality parts and procedures
Brake Components Tailored to Your Vehicle
We use pads and rotors matched to your vehicle’s performance and intended use — standard commuting, towing, or high-performance needs. Proper torque specifications, caliper lubrication, and brake bed-in procedures ensure optimal operation and longevity.
At a minimum, brakes should be inspected during regular oil changes or every 6 months. If you hear noise or notice pedal changes, bring your vehicle in immediately.
02
Can I replace only the pads?
If rotors are within specification and surface condition is good, pad replacement alone may suffice. We will measure and advise during inspection.
03
What is a brake fluid flush and why does it matter?
A brake fluid flush removes moisture-contaminated fluid and replenishes with manufacturer-specified fluid, maintaining hydraulic reliability and preventing corrosion.
