How we handle brakes after a collision
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.
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. 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
Worn brakes take longer to stop and can damage other parts if you wait. A quick inspection tells you where they stand.
What to expect
Many brake jobs are a same-day fix. We check the whole system and tell you what it needs before we start.
How insurance works for this repair
Brake damage caused by a covered accident is generally covered under your collision claim, minus your deductible. Because brakes are safety-critical, impact-related brake repairs found during the collision inspection are documented and included rather than left out. We handle that with your insurer.
Every repair comes with free estimates, insurance handled directly with your company, and a lifetime warranty on our work. We serve Guttenberg, West New York, Union City, North Bergen, and Weehawken from our shop on Park Avenue. Back to auto repair.
Common questions
Why do my brakes feel soft or different after the crash?
An impact can bend or weaken a brake line, and any brake system that was opened for repair can trap air. Both make the pedal feel soft. A spongy pedal is not safe to drive on and should be checked right away.
Could the accident really have affected brakes that were fine before?
Yes. A brake line, caliper, or rotor can be damaged in an impact even when the brakes worked a moment earlier. That is why we inspect them after a collision.
Why does my car pull when I brake now?
A crash can leave a caliper dragging or damaged, or the pull can be a suspension or alignment issue. Braking pull needs the whole corner inspected, not just the pads.
