Do you service brakes on all makes and models?

Whether you drive a Ford F-150, a Toyota RAV4, or an Audi S4, we use premium parts and dealership-level tools to ensure your vehicle stops safely.

Why are my brakes squeaking or grinding?

Squeaking is often caused by brake dust or a “wear indicator” tab alerting you that your pads are low. A grinding noise (metal-on-metal) usually means your brake pads are completely worn out and are damaging the rotors. If you hear either, we recommend scheduling a digital brake inspection immediately to prevent more expensive repairs.

Do I really need to replace my rotors with my brake pads?

In most cases, yes. Modern brake rotors are designed to wear down alongside the pads. Installing new pads on old, worn rotors often leads to vibration (pulsating pedal), noise, and uneven braking.

What is a Brake Fluid Flush, and is it necessary?

Brake fluid is “hygroscopic,” meaning it absorbs moisture from the air over time. This moisture can rust your internal brake components and lower the fluid’s boiling point, which is dangerous in emergencies. We recommend a brake fluid flush every 2 years to keep your braking system responsive and rust-free. It is not necessary in most cases to have to flush the brake fluid at the time of a brake job. Unless the brake calipers or hoses are being replaced. Then it is necessary to flush all fluid.

How much does a brake job cost in Hooksett, NH?

The cost varies depending on your vehicle and the quality of parts used. Many discount shops use cheap “white box” parts that squeak and wear out quickly. At Reflex Automotive, we use high-quality OEM-grade parts (like Textar, Zimmerman, Brembo, TRW and Akebono) that are quiet, long-lasting, and better overall performance over factory brake components.

Why does my steering wheel shake when I brake?

A shaking steering wheel while braking is a classic sign of warped brake rotors. This happens when rotors overheat or wear unevenly. When your brake discs are shaking causing excessive vibrations, this put a lot of additional stress on the suspension components. So if you are experiencing shaking when braking, it is best to address this as soon as possible.
