How we handle brakes after a collision

  1. Inspect the whole system. A crash can bend or weaken a brake line, damage a caliper, or knock a rotor, so the pedal feels soft or the car pulls when you stop. We inspect the whole system, including the pads, rotors, calipers, lines, and fluid, for impact damage, leaks, and uneven wear.

  2. Replace and bleed. We replace what the impact damaged, and if the hydraulic system was opened we bleed the brakes to clear trapped air, a common cause of a soft pedal.

  3. Road test. Then we road test to confirm a firm pedal and straight, even stopping. A pull when braking can also point to a suspension issue, so we check the whole corner.

Why you might need it

  • Waiting costs more. Worn brakes take longer to stop and can damage other parts if you wait.

  • A quick check. A quick inspection tells you where they stand.
