Brakes

Inspect brake noise, vibration, warning lights, pedal feel, and normal wear before safety is compromised.

Brakes & Safety

Brake service

Brake concerns can involve pads, rotors, calipers, hydraulics, sensors, or fluid. A complete inspection helps identify what is worn and what is still serviceable.

Apex provides clear recommendations based on measured condition and the symptoms you report.

Signs you may need this service

Braking takes more effort or the pedal feels soft, low, or inconsistent
You hear squealing, grinding, or scraping while braking
The vehicle pulls, vibrates, or shows a brake or ABS warning light

What you can check first

Confirm whether a brake or ABS warning light remains on after startup
Look through the wheel openings for obvious rotor scoring when the vehicle is parked and cool
Note whether the symptom occurs during light braking, hard braking, or at certain speeds

Only perform checks you can complete safely. Stop driving if the vehicle feels unsafe, overheats, loses braking, or shows a critical warning.
