Brake Check in Leander, Texas

We Have the Answers to All Your Brake Concerns

Professional Brake Maintenance Services

Rush Automotive is a full-service auto repair shop in Leander, Texas, and one of our many specialties is brake care. We have experience working with all brake types, including disc brakes, drum brakes, hydraulic brakes, and even the antilock braking system (ABS). Your brake system is an invaluable system in your vehicle, and it needs to always be in its best condition for safe and reliable performance. A car’s brakes require certain maintenance services on a regular basis, such as inspections, brake fluid flushes, “bleeding,” and brake pad replacements. Our brake check service also provides us the opportunity to catch any premature or looming issues before they can compromise your braking system—and your safety. The more complex a system is, the more likely that one small thing being out of whack can cause a cascade of problems. This is why we encourage routine brake maintenance.

Types of Brake Repair We Offer

A brake system is intricate and designed with an assortment of parts, and due to the laws of basic physics, there is always the potential for problems to occur. Here in our auto shop, we have the knowledge, skillset, and equipment to fix any brake issue that comes our way! Leaks are a common complication with brakes, often occurring in the brake line or master cylinder. If left ignored, you run the risk of brake failure. Another brake problem is air in the system, which can happen if bleeding is performed incorrectly, there is a loss of fluid, or if the brake fluid is severely low. Brake linings can wear or become contaminated, drum brakes can misadjust, wheel bearings can loosen… the list goes on for possible complications in a brake system. Leave the guesswork to us—the auto brake professionals. We have the means to perform a thorough brake check, assessment, and repair.

When Should I Bring My Car in for a Brake Check?

How do you know if you need to visit us for a brake check? Be on the lookout for any changes in driving, whether it be seen, felt, or heard. The most obvious sign of brake issues is the brake light coming on in your dashboard. If this happens, we encourage you to come in at your earliest convenience for a full inspection. Brakes are notorious for emitting sounds when something is not right, such as squealing, squeaking, or grinding when engaging the brake pedal. You may also feel a wobbling or vibrating sensation when braking. If there is visible brake fluid on the ground, which can appear as a light yellow or a dark brown, there is likely a leak somewhere in the system. Whether you’re experiencing one of the above, a spongy brake pedal, or your car pulling to the side when braking, it’s time to come by Rush Automotive for a brake check! We are confident we’ll be able to handle any brake problem you may have. Schedule an appointment today at (512) 548-6134, or by using our online scheduling tool. We are located at 2276 US S Hwy.
