The Brake Repair Questions:


  • Are estimates free, or do they charge for them?

    Some auto repair shops provide free estimates for brake repairs, while some may charge a flat fee. Make sure you know the answer before assuming it's a complimentary service.

  • Do they have the proper credentials?

    Aside from the common ASE certification, you may want to ask them what credentials the owner and or technicians have.

  • Does the shop have a specialty in a certain area?

    Some auto repair shops are great all around, while others have specific specialties. For example, some might specialize in braking systems, while another might specialize in transmission repair. Find out if they specialize in brake repair.

  • Is the auto repair shop affiliated with the ASA? (Automotive Service Association)

    The most reliable shops are affiliated with the ASA. Ensuring that the brake shop you choose has ASA affiliations can greatly reduce potential brake problems.

  • Is an invoice with a list of brake repair explanations provided?

    You probably don't want to pay for a repair that wasn't agreed upon, or more so a repair that wasn't required. Knowing if you will get the skinny on everything that was done to your car will certainly reduce potential concerns that could come up.

  • Do they repair brakes with new parts? Or can they also install used brake parts?

    New parts can be nice, but they can also cost more at times. In addition, new brake parts may be aftermarket which may have differences in quality than an original part made by the car's manufacturer. Find out if used parts are an option.

  • Do they offer certain payment options?

    Make sure they take the type of payment that you have. Make sure you know which payment types they accept, or don't accept.

  • Does the auto repair garage have a certificate for ASE? (Automotive Service Excellence)

    ASE provides certification for auto service professionals. If you want your car brakes repaired correctly, you'll want to make sure they have this certificate. There's nothing worse than an unqualified mechanic touching your car's braking system.

  • Will they provide a loaner car while your brakes are being worked on?

    This is more common with car dealership service centers, but some auto repair shops provide this service. Asking if they provide a loaner car can save you from the trouble of missing work and having to find someone to hitch a ride with.

  • Do they offer a guarantee?

    This is a major risk reducer. Find out if they offer a guarantee, and if they do, get the terms of the guarantee. Is it time or mileage limited? Are brake parts and labor included? Find out!
