Cars, Trucks, SUVs Brakes

Your vehicle is only as safe as the braking system is effective. Stopping on a dime in an emergency and slowing down smoothly at a stop light ensures safe driving. Five Star Automotive in South Lake Tahoe is here to keep you and your passengers safe. A timely brake check can not only save your brakes from unexpected malfunction but also save you money, and stress. Staying on top of your brakes' condition is an important part of our preventative maintenance services. Bring us your vehicle for a thorough brake check as soon as you notice any early warning signs. 

Warning Signs

The earliest warning sign that your vehicle needs a brake check is a high-pitched squeal or metal-on-metal grinding noise when you apply the brakes. The braking system is designed to alert you when the brake pads have worn too thin. Bring us your vehicle and your trust, and we will get your brakes back in perfect condition.

Eventually, every braking system will need repair. We keep you ahead of any costly brake repairs with a professional brake analysis and diagnosis. If you wait too long to get brake service, you will hear that scraping or metal-on-metal grinding noise. This is an emergency for which you should seek immediate attention.

Fixing Hard, Soft, or Slow Brakes

Signs that your vehicle needs a brake repair can be felt. The brake pedal is supposed to have enough give, or firmness, when pressed. A faulty braking system can cause the brake pedal to vibrate or shudder. Sometimes brakes are too hard or too soft. This compromises your vehicle’s overall performance and your safety.

Our South Lake Tahoe brake repair shop uses state-of-the-art equipment to diagnose and fix your brakes. Five Star Automotive uses only quality parts for any brake repairs or part replacements.

Waiting too long to receive brake repairs can do extensive damage to other parts of the braking system. Our factory-trained mechanics are equipped to handle brake rotor replacements that have been compromised, which is usually the result of the metal-onmetal grinding. Pay attention to your vehicle’s brake performance and act fast to get it fixed. Our full-service automotive repair shop in South Lake Tahoe will perform a quality brake inspection and repair to get you back to safe and confident driving.
