Anti-Lock Brake System
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) ensures your wheels keep rotating during braking, preventing skidding and providing better control. If your ABS light illuminates, visit Trowell & Turner Automotive for a diagnosis and professional repair.

Brake Fluid Flushes
Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air over time, diminishing brake effectiveness and becoming corrosive, potentially harming the system. Regular brake fluid flushes are vital to ensure fresh fluid usage in your vehicle. Consult our technicians at Trowell & Turner Automotive to determine the right time for a brake fluid flush.

Brake Hoses
A brake hose carries pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A damaged hose can lead to delayed or weak braking, and a leak may result in brake failure. While the need for a replacement brake hose isn't common, any signs of cracking or wear should prompt immediate replacement.

Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement
Squealing brakes often indicate brake pad issues. When brake pads deteriorate completely, a harsh metal-on-metal grinding noise occurs during braking, indicating potential rotor or drum damage. Although experienced individuals may attempt home repairs, if you have brake concerns, it's best to consult an auto repair professional promptly.

Caliper Replacement
The brake caliper houses brake pads and clamps around the rotor to apply pressure during braking. Caliper problems can cause uneven braking, leading to skidding during braking and loss of control in adverse weather conditions. Contact Trowell & Turner Automotive in Dallas at your earliest convenience for assistance.

Resurface Rotors
In a disc brake system, rotors attach to your vehicle's wheels. The friction with brake pads over time creates grooves and cracks. The process of resurfacing restores rotors to a "like-new" condition, reducing noise and wobbling. At Trowell & Turner Automotive, we inspect your rotors thoroughly and recommend the best course of action.



FAQs About Brakes


Why are my brakes making a grinding noise?

A grinding sound from your brakes often signals that they're severely worn and require immediate attention. This noise typically means the brake pads have worn down to the rotors.

Why are my brakes squeaking?

Squeaking brakes can result from small stones or debris caught in the pads, or it may indicate that the pads are wearing thin. It's a sign that your brakes might need inspection or replacement.

Why are my brakes making a burning smell?

A burning smell from your brakes can occur if they overheat from excessive use. If you notice a chemical odor or smoke, pull over safely and allow the brakes to cool to avoid further damage.

Why are my brakes vibrating?

Vibration when braking usually points to an issue with uneven rotor surfaces. Over time, rotors can wear unevenly, causing vibrations through the steering wheel when you apply the brakes.

How do I know if my car is leaking brake fluid?

A decrease in braking performance or a spongy feel in the brake pedal could indicate a brake fluid leak. It's critical to address any brake fluid leaks immediately to maintain vehicle safety.

Why is my dashboard brake light on?

The brake light on your dashboard may indicate it's time for brake service or signal an issue. Visit Trowell & Turner Automotive for a precise diagnosis and prompt resolution.

What are the 3 signs that brake pads are worn?

Common signs of worn brake pads include squeaking noises, grinding sounds, and the brake warning light illuminating on your dashboard.

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

The 30-30-30 rule suggests breaking in new brake pads with 30 gentle stops from 30 mph, allowing 30 seconds between each to prevent overheating and to help the pads cure properly.

What percent of brake pad life is 3mm?

New brake pads typically start at 8 to 12 mm thick. At 3 mm, your brake pads are near the end of their lifespan, having covered about 40,000 miles. It's advisable to replace them soon to maintain braking efficiency.

What are the 3 types of brake pads?

The three primary types of brake pads are non-asbestos organic, ceramic, and semi-metallic. Each type offers different benefits concerning performance, wear, and noise.

Why is my car pulling to one side when I am braking?

If your car veers to one side when braking, it could be due to a stuck caliper or a collapsed brake hose, causing uneven braking pressure. This should be inspected and repaired to ensure safe driving.

Can't believe I've never left them a review! I've been going there since 2019, and they're the most honest, experienced, trustworthy, and thorough mechanics! I can always trust them to do the job right and charge prices that are more than fair. Everyone knows that a mechanic that you can trust is hard to find. They are always friendly and communicative. Terry remembers me by name when I call, and we have started taking both cars there even for oil changes because when we go anywhere else, we aren't sure that we're being dealt with honestly when it comes to the maintenance that might be needed in the future. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!

I went in today to get my car checked up. As a young woman it can be difficult to trust that you're being told the truth for automotive repairs, here I felt no such thing. They treat everyone with respect and kindness.They explained everything to me in great detail and took the time to get to know me too. I was stuck there for a couple hours because I live pretty far from the shop. They accommodated for me, made me feel welcome, and got a few laughs from me too. I highly recommend this place, a great team who know what they're doing :D
