Brake Calipers Replacement in Berkeley, CA - Oceanworks Berkeley

Brake Calipers Replacement in Berkeley, CA

Welcome to Oceanworks Auto Repair, the premier Berkeley auto care facility. Our family owned and operated auto repair shop can provide your vehicle with complete maintenance services, diagnostics, and repairs, including a wide range of brake services and repairs – such as brake calipers replacement.

Since the brake system is vital to your safety and to the safety of your passengers, we pay special attention to any brake-related service or repair. Our nationally ASE certified technicians can inspect and expertly maintain or repair any aspect of the brake system, including brake calipers.

What are Brake Calipers?

Brake calipers hold the brake pads, and are designed to fit like clamps around the rotors. When you step on the brake pedal, brake pads are pressed against the rotors generating friction. Brake pads are intentionally made of high-friction materials, thus when the brake calipers press the brake pads against the rotors, the resulting friction slows down the vehicle.

Probably the most common caliper-related problem is the car pulling to one side when braking – this could be due to a piston not moving smoothly, causing different amounts of pressure compared to the other caliper – this condition is sometimes referred to as “caliper binding.” This can be dangerous on a wet surface.

Brake Inspection Recommendations

At Oceanworks Auto Repair, we recommend once-a-year brake inspection, even if your vehicle exhibits no obvious brake-related issues. The braking system is crucial to your safety – once a year brake inspection is a good rule of thumb. Naturally, if your vehicle’s behavior causes you any concern, bring it to our Berkeley auto repair shop right away.

Our Brake Caliper Replacement Service

Brake caliper replacement at our Berkeley auto care facility involves not only highly skilled, ASE certified mechanics, but also the use of high-quality parts, and a 24-month/24,000-mile warranty for your peace of mind. After we replace brake calipers, we not only do static testing but will also take your vehicle for a test drive, to make sure the brakes function correctly under real-world driving conditions.
