Give us a call at and we will be happy to speak with you. Here is some valuable information on brake issues and corrective services Dean's Northtown Auto Repair & Towing Services offers.

    Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement

    Brake pad problems can usually be identified by squealing brakes. If your brake pads deteriorate completely, you'll hear a grinding metal-on-metal sound when braking, meaning that it's too late and you're ruining your rotors or drums! Those with knowledge of auto repair may be able to fix this at home, but you should always see an auto repair professional immediately if you have brake problems.


    Anti-Lock Brake System

    Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) ensure that the wheels don't stop rotating during braking, preventing the car from skidding and offering greater control. If your ABS light comes on, visit Dean's Northtown Auto Repair & Towing Services where we will be happy to diagnose and fix the problem.


    Brake Hoses

    A brake hose is a tube carrying pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A crushed hose can cause a lagged or slow brake, and a leak in the hose can cause the brake, or the entire brake system, to fail. These don't need to be replaced often, but should be replaced at the first sign of cracking or wear.


    Brake Fluid Flushes

    Brake fluid will absorb water from the air over time, causing the brake system to become less effective and the fluid to become corrosive, possibly damaging the system. It is important to perform a brake fluid flush regularly to ensure that your vehicle is using fresh fluid. Talk to our technicians at Dean's Northtown Auto Repair & Towing Services about when it's time for a brake fluid flush.


    Caliper Replacement

    The brake caliper houses your brake pads and fits around the rotor like a clamp, pressing the pads against the rotor when you brake. A brake caliper problem could cause uneven braking, making your car slide forward when you brake. Uneven braking can also cause your vehicle to slide out of control in bad weather conditions, so contact Dean's Northtown Auto Repair & Towing Services as soon as possible.


    Resurface Rotors

    In a disc brake system, rotors are attached to your vehicle's wheels. When the brake pads grip the rotor, they bring both the rotor and wheels to a stop. However, the friction causes grooves and cracks to appear over time. Resurfacing brings the rotor back to a "like-new" condition, reducing squealing and wobbling. Dean's Northtown Auto Repair & Towing Services, will give your rotors a thorough inspection and recommend your best course of action.
