Brake Repair Services

Are you noticing that your brakes are not as responsive as they used to be? Do you hear squeaking or grinding noises when you apply the brakes? Luckily, replacing your brakes is a task that can be done with the right tools and knowledge. Our technicians at Smithtown Transmissions will walk you through the process step-by-step, from identifying when your brakes need to be replaced to choosing the right replacement parts and the actual replacement process itself.

Every auto mechanic at Smithtown Transmissions knows it is important that you understand how the brake system in your car or truck plays a vital role in keeping passengers safe. The components in the brake system are not designed to last for the life of your vehicle and wear down over time as you drive in and around the streets of Smithtown. The pads (aka shoes) are the most common brake replacement service we do at our service center. This is because every time you depress your pedal the brake pad material wears down against the brake rotor. If the brake pads are allowed to wear down for too long the underlying metal surface of the pads will contact your brakes' metal rotors (aka drums). This situation will not only result in an unsafe situation but will require additional service and increase your brake repair cost. When it comes to your vehicle’s safety, the brakes are one of the most critical components. Without functioning brakes, you risk the safety of yourself, your passengers, and other drivers on the road. That’s why it’s crucial to know when your brakes need to be replaced and how to replace them properly. Our experienced staff here at Smithtown Transmissions will cover everything you need to know to ensure a smooth and successful brake replacement process.

What should I do if I hear a grinding noise when braking?

If you hear a grinding noise when braking, stop driving your car immediately as it likely indicates worn brake pads, which means the metal backing plate is contacting the rotor, causing significant damage and compromising your braking ability; get your car checked by a mechanic as soon as possible to have the brakes inspected and replaced if necessary.
