Why Repair Your Vehicle's Brakes?
Driving around British Columbia can put stress on your vehicle. When you press on your brakes, you expect your vehicle to stop. If you do not maintain your brake system, your brakes can fail you and put you and your passengers in danger. The brake system in your vehicle is one of the most important components for you and your passengers’ safety, but it often gets neglected.
Symptoms of a Poorly Perfoming A/c System
Here are several common signs that indicate potential issues with your brakes:
- Dashboard Lights or Warnings: Pay attention to any illuminated BRAKE, ABS, or Check Engine lights, as they may indicate problems with your brakes.
- Leaking Brake Fluid: If you notice any fluid leaks near your wheels or under the vehicle, it’s important to have the source of the leak inspected, as it could be brake fluid.
- Change in Brake Response: If you experience a change in the way your brakes respond, such as taking longer to stop or needing to press the pedal farther than usual, it is a classic symptom of brake trouble and should be addressed promptly.
- New Noise When Braking: Unusual noises while braking, such as squealing, grinding, squeaking, or rattling, should be investigated. These sounds often indicate issues with brake pads and rotors. If you hear hissing sounds, it may indicate a brake fluid leak problem.
- Shaking or Vibration When Braking: If your vehicle shakes or vibrates when you apply the brakes, it could be a sign of warped rotors. However, it’s important to note that a slight pulsating sensation while braking is normal when the ABS is activated.
- Soft or Spongy Brakes: If your brake pedal feels soft or spongy and requires more effort to engage, it suggests a problem in the brake fluid lines or brake shoes. It is important to have this addressed promptly to ensure proper braking performance.
- Hard or Stiff Brakes: Conversely, if your brakes feel excessively firm or stiff, it could indicate contaminants in the brake fluid or a faulty seal in the master cylinder or brake booster.
- Engine Misfiring or Stalling: A bad power brake booster can sometimes cause issues with engine performance, leading to misfiring or stalling.
- Vehicle Pulling to One Side When Braking: If your vehicle pulls to one side while braking, it may be an indication of faulty brake hardware or an uneven hydraulic issue. It’s important to have this diagnosed and corrected to maintain proper braking balance.
If you notice any of these signs, it is recommended to have your brake system inspected by a qualified professional to ensure your safety and address any necessary repairs.

Had many oil changes done with them ithey include a free Inspection, tire rotation and courtesy car. Exceptional service and prices!
Amazing service! They gave a thorough check on my car, provided me options and even a courtesy car for me to continue my daily activities while they fixed mine! Overall amazing rapport and deep understanding on my needs!
The team at Supertech was incredibly helpful and kind when I was on a tight budget for repairs! They squeezed me in and were so kind at every turn. Always an unfortunate situation when you need repairs but having a really helpful group of people makes it that much better.
I went in for an oil change and left knowing I'd return. I hoped to find a place close to my home, that offered services at a decent price, and was trustworthy. The last one being the most important, since it's rare that I've ever found an auto repair place that was.
The guys I met were very friendly, gave excellent service, were honest (!), and a lot of fun. I totally recommend them.

These guys are great! Friendly, detail-oriented and get the job done right! Thank you 🙏🏼
I needed some work done to my vehicle on short notice, Supertech went above and beyond to help get the work done, they stayed until 8:30pm to finish the job to meet my timeline. The service before and during and after the job was excellent. I will definitely use them again.
Supertech Auto was responsive and helpful. They managed to get our vehicle in quickly and do the work under a short timeline. They were communicative and clear on what they were doing and how long it would take. In the end they had the work done for us on time and we haven’t had any issues since. Thank you so much to Supertech for their great and speedy work!

How regular should brake pads be serviced?
Drive safe in British Columbia
As you know, brakes are very important to the safety of your vehicle. You should have your brake and brake pads inspected at least once a year to make sure they are working properly. Our technicians can properly do a full inspection to make sure your pads are not worn down. Your brake fluid should be checked regularly. This fluid is essential to all the working parts of the entire brake system.
We suggest that you as the driver of your car should listen and watch for warning signs of weakness of your brake system while you are driving. This could be strange noises or less pressure when you press your brakes. If you notice any of these signs, bring your car into our shop immediately to be checked out.
You can take precautions to help preserve the life of your brakes. Give yourself time to slow down and avoid braking suddenly as well as invest in good reliable brakes. The investment will be worth it to ensure the efficiency, safety, and durability of your brake system.
