Your brakes are the most important safety feature on your vehicle. It is of the utmost importance that you ensure that your brakes are in peak working order at all times. Mastertek Automotive will service your brakes in a professional, thorough, and timely fashion. Our technicians are experienced and adept at addressing all manner of brake issues, including:

- Noise/Squeal/Grinding - If your brakes are making a lot of noise, chances are something is wrong. Brake noise often takes the form of a high-pitched, metallic squeal. Such a noise is cause for concern because it likely means your brakes need fine-tuning. If your brakes make a grinding noise as opposed to a squeal, you need to have them serviced immediately. Grinding is usually caused by contact between a rotor disc and the caliper. Grinding can also occur when a foreign object becomes lodged somewhere in the caliper.

-  ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is one of the most crucial safety systems in modern vehicles. Your ABS prevents your wheels from locking up (hence the term “anti-lock”) and ceasing rotation, thus reducing skidding. It is a good idea to have your ABS inspected regularly, especially in the autumn. Once the roads become icy in winter, your anti-lock brakes could be the only thing saving you from losing control of your automobile.
