Brakes in Dearborn, MI

AutoTech Clinic repairs every part of the braking system at 24100 Michigan Ave in Dearborn, from pads and rotors to calipers, brake lines and ABS faults. Bring the car in or call (313) 277-7200 and we will measure what is left, show you the parts and quote the job before anything comes apart.

Most brake work is finished the same day. Brakes are the one system on a car with no backup, so we check all four corners every time rather than only the one making noise.

How do I know my brakes need work?

Noise, vibration and a soft pedal are the three signals drivers notice first. A squeal usually means the wear indicator is touching the rotor, grinding means the friction material is gone, and a pulsing pedal usually points to a warped rotor. Any of those is worth a check at the shop before it turns into a bigger repair.

Can you check my brakes while I wait?

Yes. A brake inspection takes about 20 to 30 minutes because we pull the wheels and measure pad thickness and rotor condition rather than guessing through the spokes. We show you the measurements and tell you how much life is left before you decide anything.

Do you replace brakes the same day?

Most brake jobs on common cars and trucks are finished the same day, often within a few hours, because we stock pads and rotors for the vehicles we see most in Dearborn. Rarer parts and some European models may need a day for delivery, and we tell you that before you leave the car.

Do I have to replace rotors every time I replace pads?

No. We measure rotor thickness against the manufacturer minimum and check for scoring and runout. If the rotors are within spec and smooth, new pads alone are fine. If they are thin, cracked or warped, replacing them is the only way new pads will work properly.

Do you work on foreign cars?

Yes. We service foreign and domestic vehicles, including European and Asian models with electronic parking brakes that need a scan tool to retract the rear calipers. We have the equipment to do that job correctly.
