Brake Repair FAQs

Most drivers find that their brakes need to be replaced after the first 30,000 miles and every 25,000 to 30,000 miles after that. As a general rule, it varies a lot depending on the type of driving that a vehicle performs and the habits of the driver, too.

A complete brake repair means that our technicians will replace your  brake pads and rotors and inspect the brake hardware. They will also check the caliper slides and piston operation. We also offer a brake fluid exchange so you can get back on the road with the confidence that your brake system  can respond properly and reliably as you navigate through your day.

Brake fluid has many unique features in a brake system; one of those features is that it absorbs moisture. Why is that important? Moisture left alone in a system during cold winter months can freeze, and once the weather warms up again, it will boil, causing your brake pedal to fade. 


By absorbing the moisture into itself, the brake fluid dissipates the moisture, reducing the chances of brake failure. Moisture in the system left unchecked can lead to premature part failure, internal rust, and corrosion of the brake lines. Most manufacturers will recommend a brake fluid exchange every 30,000 miles to keep the brakes operating at their highest level.

Our service centers can help with the most common types of brakes including disc brakes, drum brakes, emergency brakes (also known as the parking brake), and anti-lock brake systems.

A brake warning light is used to predict a brake system problem. Common problems include brake pads, warning sensors, or low brake fluid. In other vehicles, the brake light alone is used as an indicator to make drivers aware when the parking brake is on.


Squealing or grinding brakes should not be taken lightly; they are the first sign that you may have a brake problem. A visit to Mavis, Tire Kingdom or NTB is necessary to determine the cause and to learn what the best repair options are.

Brakes Service Overview

Regular brake inspections should give you the confidence that your brake system is in optimal working condition. Visit one of our locations to have our experts check your car’s brakes and help you find great deals when it’s time to invest in new brakes for your vehicle.


Mavis offers a full suite of brake parts and brake replacement products. Whether you need a brake inspection and diagnosis or if you need to purchase a new brake caliper or brake shoes, our expert technicians are here to make sure your brake system is in optimal working condition.


Brake Inspection

Brake issues can run big or small, and a comprehensive inspection goes beyond checking the brake pads and calipers. During a full inspection, our technician will also check the master cylinder, brake lines, and hoses for signs of damage or leaking brake fluid. They may also take the car for a test drive to check how the brake pedal operates.


Brake Parts & Pads

Simple diagnostics help our technicians identify the cause of a brake problem before it potentially becomes dangerous. When our technicians at our tire shop are able to identify parts that may be failing, they can take action to replace those parts, saving you time and money when compared to a larger brake replacement. Based on industry standards, we recommend checking brakes at 30,000 miles and continuing routine inspections every time your vehicle is in for an oil change or tire rotation. Plus, with Mavis tire shop, it’s FREE!


Brake Pad Replacement

Vehicles will inevitably need new brakes. Our technicians will determine if you need a brake and rotor replacement. We stock a full range of brake parts to suit many different car makes and models, offer competitive pricing for service, and we are ready to help get your car back on the road. If your vehicle requires a brake pad replacement, our team will ensure top-quality parts and service to restore your braking performance.


Signs You Need New Brakes

From vibrations in the steering wheel to changes in stopping power, there are a number of ways drivers can tell that they’re starting to have brake problems. Loud squealing or grinding can also indicate failing parts. Pay attention to the early indicators of brake failure. Getting the maintenance you need early will not only keep your vehicle on the road, but will save you time and money. Common signs of brake problems include:

  • High-pitched squeaking or squealing when braking

  • Grinding or scratching noise while driving or braking

  • Dashboard brake light turns on

  • Pulsing or vibration felt in either the brake pedal or steering wheel

  • No brake pedal pressure

  • Vehicle lacks stopping power, or requires greater amounts of time and distance to come to a stop

  • Vehicle pulls to one side when braking


How Much Does Brake Service Cost?

Identifying brake issues early can save you money in the long run. Costs for small repairs are often easier to handle than pricing for a full brake replacement. Early detection of issues makes it possible to prioritize repairs and prolong your vehicle’s braking system. That’s why we offer a free brake inspection at Mavis. Our technicians will work closely with you to identify issues and get you the services and parts you need at affordable prices. With hundreds of brake repairs done daily, our technicians work efficiently to help you get back on the road. We use quality rotors and brake pads, and offer competitive service rates. Most cars can qualify for special pricing per axle for brake service. Prices for rotors vary depending on the vehicle.
