Brakes
Brake inspection
A brake inspection measures the real wear across the whole system and shows what needs attention before it becomes a risk.
What it is and how we do it
The inspection assesses the full brake system: pads, rotors, drums, shoes, calipers, cylinders, hoses, fluid and the parking brake. We measure pad and rotor thickness, check play and leaks and test the pedal.
When a brake or ABS light is on, we connect the scanner to read the codes. At the end we show what is good, what needs watching and what needs repair now — without pushing unnecessary parts. We serve domestic and imported cars.
When to do it
Noise when braking, a low or spongy pedal, shudder, the car pulling to one side, a brake light on, or simply reaching the service interval are all good reasons to inspect.
We also recommend an inspection before trips and after driving in severe conditions — lots of mountain roads, heavy traffic or flooding.
Why it matters and why Mr. Service
Brakes are the number one safety item on a car. An honest inspection avoids both the risk of driving with a compromised system and the needless expense of premature replacements.
In Chácara Santo Antônio, we give a clear report, a detailed quote, a 3-month warranty on our work, serve all brands and speak Portuguese, English and Turkish.
