in Hamilton.
Brakes rarely fail without warning. A squeal, pulse, scrape or pedal that feels different is your vehicle asking for attention. GR Auto Repair inspects the complete braking system so the repair addresses the cause—not only the loudest symptom.

Helpful answers
Brake Repair
questions.
How do I know if I need brake pads or rotors?+
Pad thickness, rotor condition and measured runout all matter. Noise alone cannot confirm which parts are needed, so an inspection is the right first step.
Can I drive with grinding brakes?+
Grinding can mean the friction material is gone and metal is contacting metal. That can reduce stopping performance and increase repair cost, so arrange an inspection promptly.
Why does my steering wheel shake when braking?+
Common causes include rotor variation, worn steering or suspension parts, or wheel-related issues. A road test and inspection helps separate them.
