- Rotors, or pad and rotor sets, when the rotors are worn

What helps us quote it
- Year, make, and model. Pad and rotor prices are very different from one vehicle to the next.
- What you hear or feel, and when: squealing, grinding, a pulsing or soft pedal, or pulling to one side
- Whether the brake warning light is on, or you have seen fluid near a wheel or under the car
- Where the car is parked, and whether the spot is flat and level. A driveway or parking lot works. Steep or soft ground does not.
- If the pedal sinks toward the floor, do not drive it. Tell us where it sits.
Brakes FAQ
Can you really do brakes in a driveway?
Yes. Pads and rotors do not need a lift. We bring the tools, and we need a flat, level spot to park. A driveway or a parking lot works. Steep or soft ground does not.
How much does a brake job cost?
It depends on the vehicle and whether you need pads only or pads and rotors, so we quote it per car. Labor is $125 per hour and there is no travel fee. Call (843) 928-2819 with your year, make, and model and you will know the cost before we start.
How do I know if I need rotors too?
If the pedal pulses or the wheel shakes when you brake, or the rotors are scored or worn thin, they get replaced with the pads. We check them on site and tell you before we replace anything you do not need.
