BRAKING SYSTEMS

At C&S Automotive, a locally and family-owned business proudly serving Rathdrum and its surrounding areas, we understand the importance of maintaining your vehicle's brakes. When you hear that alarming grinding or scraping noise, feel your car pulling to one side, or notice a spongy brake pedal, it clearly signals that your brakes need immediate attention. Delaying brake service can lead to increased costs and significant safety risks on the road.

Here's what you can expect when you bring your vehicle to C&S Automotive for a brake repair and service appointment. We will inspect the following potential points of importance:

1. Master Cylinder Inspection & Potential Replacement – A sinking brake pedal is a clear indicator that your master cylinder may require replacement. If you overlook this issue, it can result in serious repercussions, such as the risk of total brake failure. Here at C&S Automotive, the safety of our customers is our utmost priority, and we are committed to conducting comprehensive inspections and, when deemed essential, replacing the master cylinder to avert any potential danger on the road.

2. Brake Pad Replacement – As a critical component of your braking system, brake pads require regular replacement to ensure your vehicle's safety and performance. Typically, it's recommended to replace them every 40,000 miles. At C&S Automotive, our dedicated team ensures that your vehicle is equipped with premium-grade brake pads. This proactive approach not only enhances your vehicle's performance but also helps prevent more expensive repairs in the future, providing you with peace of mind on the road.

3. Rotor Replacement – The rotors, which bear the brunt of constant wear and tear every time you hit the brakes, play a critical role in ensuring a smooth and safe stop for your vehicle. Here at C&S Automotive, our expert technicians meticulously evaluate the condition of your rotors, taking into account factors such as thickness and surface integrity. Based on our assessment, we provide recommendations for either replacement or resurfacing, prioritizing the longevity and optimal performance of your braking system to uphold safety and efficiency for your vehicle.

By addressing these issues promptly, we prevent further damage to your brake system, ensuring your safety and peace of mind on the road.

Our highly skilled and experienced team specializes in promptly identifying and expertly fixing any leaks, thereby guaranteeing that your brake system remains consistently efficient, reliable, and ultimately safe for your peace of mind.
