Brake Service

It is crucial that any motor vehicle runs at its best, however, making sure a vehicle can stop is all the more important for motorists in and around San Diego.

A vehicles braking system can wear over time, and if not checked, it can lead to problems in the system or a complete failure.

When brakes are slowing a vehicle, they are exposed to extreme levels of heat, and this in itself can wear the brake pads which take the brunt of the force. Add in any climate temperatures, and this level of stress can be quickly increased.

Mobile mechanics will advise any motorist on what to look for, so if you see you have any of the following symptoms on your vehicle, you should contact us so we can perform a brake service on your vehicle to make sure you are driving around safely.

“My vehicle started swerving when I braked. This wouldn’t have been so bad if it was to the side of the road, but swerving into traffic is scary. I got home and called Mobile Mechanic of San Diego. They sent a guy out later in the day and replaced my front brake pads. Fast response and a great job done.”
