Frequently Asked Questions about Brake Service in San Diego

How much does brake service cost in San Diego?
Brake pad replacement in San Diego runs $150–$300 per axle for most passenger cars. Adding rotor resurfacing or replacement pushes that to $250–$500 per axle. Calipers and brake fluid flushes add more — always ask for a written estimate.
How do I know if I need brake service?
Common signs: squealing or grinding when stopping, a pulsating pedal, pulling to one side, or a longer stopping distance. If your brake warning light is on, get it inspected immediately — don't wait.
Can I drive with worn brakes in San Diego?
Driving with metal-on-metal brakes is unsafe and will damage your rotors, significantly increasing repair costs. If you hear grinding, park the car and have it towed or drive very cautiously to the nearest shop.
How often should brakes be inspected in San Diego?
Have your brakes inspected at least once a year or every 12,000 miles — more often if you drive in hilly terrain or do a lot of city driving. Most shops will inspect them for free with a tire rotation.
