Why drivers pick us for brakes
You get measurements, not guesses. If your pads have life left, we tell you. If a rotor is below spec, we show you the number. Brakes also have to pass the Virginia safety inspection, which we perform at our Arlington shop.
Serving Arlington, Annandale, Falls Church, Alexandria, Bailey's Crossroads, Seven Corners and Fairfax County.
Common questions
How much does a brake job cost?
It depends on the vehicle and whether rotors or calipers are needed. We inspect first and give you a written estimate before any work, so there are no surprises.
How long does a brake job take?
Most pad and rotor jobs on one axle are finished the same day, usually within a couple of hours if parts are in stock.
Do I need new rotors every time I replace pads?
Not always. We measure rotor thickness and runout. If they are within spec and not damaged, we can often reuse or resurface them.
