Warning light

Often the earliest sign something needs attention, sometimes before you notice any change in how the car feels or sounds.

Squealing in reverse

Most pads have a built-in metal wear indicator that makes this sound on purpose, letting you know they're getting thin before it becomes a bigger issue.

Steering wheel shake

Usually points to rotors that have worn unevenly over time, often from repeated hard stops or heat buildup.

Grinding sound

A step beyond squealing — it typically means the pad material is gone and metal is now contacting metal, which can damage the rotors if left unaddressed.

Pulling to one side

Can mean uneven pad wear or a caliper that's sticking, and is easy to mistake for just how the car drives.

A+ has been my auto repair shop for the last 5 years. They have an outstanding crew that are always very professional and thorough in assessing the car, identifying issues, and fixing them right the first time. If you have japanese car this is the #1 shop.

I brought the car in the past for differential oil, spark plugs, air filter, clutch maintenance and brakes. They did a thorough inspection and did the parts that were needed. This is the fourth time I have brought my 2017 WRX in and this time they did coolant exchange and oil change and so far so good!

I have been working on cars my entire life. I rarely have work done by a shop if I can do it myself but this job was out side of what I was comfortable with. Do you know a shop that gives a 3yr / 36,000 mile warranty on the work they do? Does your shop order you an Uber/Lyft to pick you up? Do you want to get a customer for life! Because that is how you get a customer for life! Did we just become best friends! Yep! Thank you Brian, Elaine and Calvin. You are amazing!
