Brake Repairs & Replacements
From pad replacements and ceramic upgrades to precision rotor machining and ABS sensor diagnostics, our technicians fix spongy pedals, grinding noises, and brake drag.
Brake Fluid Flush & Bleed

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my car shake or vibrate when I brake?
Shaking or vibration when you brake is most often caused by warped or unevenly worn rotors, which prevent the brake pads from gripping smoothly. Bring your vehicle to Rinaldi Auto Service in Taylor and we'll inspect your rotors and calipers.
My brake pedal feels soft or sinks to the floor. Is that dangerous?
Yes, a soft or sinking pedal indicates air in brake lines, a leaking master cylinder, or a fluid leak. Stop driving immediately and have our certified mechanics inspect your hydraulic system.
Do my brakes just need pads, or do the rotors need replacement too?
It depends on rotor thickness and scoring. We measure rotor thickness with digital micrometers against factory specs before recommending resurfacing or replacement.
