Brake Repair

Your brakes keep you and your passengers safe. As a dependable brake specialist in New Westminster, we carry out thorough inspections, swap worn pads and machined rotors, flush fluid lines, and restore your entire braking system so every stop feels confident.

Hearing squeaking or grinding? Don't wait. Proper brake maintenance keeps you safe, extends the life of your brake components, and gives you peace of mind on every drive.

Brake Repair in New Westminster

Squealing, grinding, a mushy pedal, or vibration through the steering wheel are clear signals your braking system needs professional attention. At Tire Point Automotive in New Westminster, every brake appointment begins with a hands-on inspection: we pull a wheel, measure remaining pad thickness in millimetres with a digital calliper, and check rotor run-out with a dial indicator.

Depending on what the numbers show, we may recommend a pad replacement, rotor resurfacing on our on-site lathe, or a full hardware swap. We carry a range of ceramic and semi-metallic pad compounds to match your driving style — lighter ceramics for quiet city commuting, harder semi-metallics for trucks and towing. Every job includes a brake fluid bleed to push out old moisture-laden fluid.

Our free visual brake check takes about fifteen minutes and is available as a walk-in service during business hours. We measure pad life, check for fluid leaks, inspect flexible hoses, and test parking-brake adjustment. You get a plain-language summary with millimetre measurements — no pressure to buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical cost of a brake job?

A front brake pad replacement at Tire Point Automotive in New Westminster typically ranges from $200 to $400 per axle depending on your vehicle and pad type. Rotor resurfacing or replacement adds to the total. We always quote the complete price — parts, labour, and taxes — before turning a wrench.

How often should brakes be replaced?

Most brake pads last between 40,000 and 80,000 kilometres depending on driving habits and conditions. City stop-and-go driving wears pads faster than highway cruising. We recommend a brake inspection every 20,000 km or once a year — our New Westminster shop offers free visual brake checks.

What is the 30-30-30 rule for brakes?

The 30-30-30 rule is a quick guideline: if your brake pads are below 3 mm, rotors are under minimum thickness, or brake fluid is older than 30 months, it is time for service. At Tire Point Automotive we measure each of these during every brake inspection.

Can I get a free brake check?

Yes. Tire Point Automotive offers a complimentary visual brake inspection at our New Westminster location. We pull a wheel, measure pad thickness, check fluid condition, and inspect hoses and callipers — all at no charge. Walk-ins are welcome Monday through Saturday.
