Reliable Brake Repair & Service in Tracy, CA | Your Safety is Our Priority

Your brakes are the most crucial safety system in your vehicle. When you're driving on the busy streets of Tracy, CA, or navigating the freeway, you need to know your brakes will respond instantly and effectively. At EZ Automotive Diagnostics & Repair, we provide comprehensive brake repair and service to ensure your vehicle stops safely and reliably every time.

Don't compromise on brake safety. If you've noticed any signs of brake trouble, it's essential to have them inspected by professionals immediately.

Common Signs You Need Brake Service:

  • Squealing or Grinding Noises: Often the first sign of worn brake pads. Grinding usually indicates metal-on-metal contact, which can damage rotors.

  • Vibration or Pulsation: A pulsating feeling in the brake pedal or steering wheel when braking often points to warped brake rotors.

  • Spongy or Soft Brake Pedal: If your pedal goes too far down or feels "mushy," it could indicate air in the brake lines, low brake fluid, or a master cylinder issue.

  • Car Pulling to One Side When Braking: This can be a sign of a seized caliper, unevenly worn pads, or an issue with the brake hose.

  • Longer Stopping Distances: If your car takes longer to stop than usual, your brakes are losing efficiency.

  • Burning Smell: A strong chemical smell after braking, especially downhill, can indicate overheated brakes.

Our Comprehensive Brake Repair & Service Includes:

Our ASE-certified technicians at EZ Automotive are experts in all aspects of brake systems. We use high-quality parts and precise techniques to ensure your brakes perform optimally. Our services include:

  • Brake Pad Replacement: We inspect your current pads for wear and replace them with premium-quality pads that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. Proper pad replacement is crucial for effective braking.

  • Rotor Replacement: Depending on their condition, rotors can often be resurfaced to provide a smooth, even surface for the new pads. If they're too thin, warped, or severely damaged, we'll recommend and install new rotors to ensure optimal braking performance and longevity.

  • Brake Caliper Service: Calipers are vital components that press the brake pads against the rotors. We inspect calipers for proper function, signs of sticking or seizing, and leaks, servicing or replacing them as needed.

  • Brake Fluid Flush & Replacement: Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture over time, which can lead to corrosion and a spongy pedal. A fluid flush removes old, contaminated fluid and replaces it with fresh fluid, restoring braking performance and prolonging system life.

  • Brake Line & Hose Inspection: We thoroughly check all brake lines and hoses for cracks, leaks, and corrosion to ensure consistent brake pressure.

  • Brake System Inspection: A detailed multi-point inspection of your entire braking system, including master cylinder, ABS components, and parking brake, to identify any underlying issues.
