Allow Properly Trained Technicians to Inspect Your Toyota's Brakes
A brake inspection often involves a multitude of steps. First, our certified Toyota technicians will need to remove your vehicle's tires to inspect the brake calipers, brake pads, and brake rotors condition. If any of these components reveal a significant amount of wear, we'll make a note of it and let you know our recommendations for the next steps. We'll also check the brake fluid's quality and ensure there are no visible leaks in the system.
Our Brake Services
- Brake Fluid Exchange - Brake fluid transfers and amplifies the force of your foot on the brakes to the calipers; as a hygroscopic fluid, it will absorb moisture and eventually need to be replaced as it becomes less effective.
- Brake Pad Replacement - The brake pads consist of a metal backing and a softer brake lining that is designed to wear down; when this lining gets thin, it's time to have your brake pads replaced.
- Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement - The brake rotors may become glazed or warped well before they wear out; we can resurface the rotors, smoothing their surface to help you avoid paying for entirely new parts before it's necessary.
Learn More - Caliper Service - The brake calipers squeeze together to push the brake pads against the brake rotors, and they will regularly need to be cleaned, lubricated, and inspected to ensure that they are providing the necessary precision.
We Can Resurface Brake Rotors Or Exchange Brake Fluid If Needed
Depending on your driving habits, your brake rotors can wear down unevenly. If this happens, you won't come to a stop as smoothly as before, and can cause undue stress on other parts of your vehicle while braking. Brake rotor resurfacing service restores the smooth, flat surface of your brake rotors.
The brake fluid in your braking system acts as hydraulic fluid, providing the means of force to engage your brakes when you press the brake pedal. This fluid can become contaminated with water, which lowers the boiling point of the fluid. Your brake fluid undergoes an extreme amount of pressure and heat during operation, so a lower boiling point can cause steam to develop within the brake lines, causing damage to the entire brake system.
Genuine OEM Toyota Brake Pads & Rotors
During the brake inspection, the technicians may notice that you need new brake pads (front and rear) or brake rotors. These are parts you'll need to get replaced right away to ensure your safety on the road. Westbury Toyota keeps genuine Toyota brake components in stock to ensure your brakes can be properly replaced or repaired when you come in for brake service.
