WHY CHOOSE US
Brake Repair in Grande Prairie, AB
Paying attention to how your car drives and brakes even when nothing is wrong is always going to help you identify a problem when it occurs. Knowing how your vehicle reacts and brakes will help diagnose problems long before your brakes cause you a problem.
Some of the most notable signs you need brake repair:
Squealing – One of the most common indicators that you need brake service is a squeak/squeal. This typically is a sign your brake pads are wearing down and a built-in safety feature many modern vehicles have and a warning not to ignore.
Grinding – When you press the brakes and hear a grinding sound it could indicate an issue with the calliper or a warning sign that your brake pads are needing immediate attention. It’s important to visit us at Quick Lane Trader Ridge to have this checked out to avoid further (or worse) problems.
Sticking/Soft – When you press the brakes and notice a spongy or soft feeling in your pedal it could be a leak in your brake line. A leak can potentially disable your vehicle’s brakes and could lead to serious issues on the road.
Brake Light – A sure-fire way to know there is an issue with your brakes is the indicator light in your vehicle. Instead of trying to diagnose which issue you may be having why not visit our location and utilize the experts at our Quick Lane.
Other indicators include a burning smell while driving, vibration or bouncing when you apply the brakes (can sometimes feel this in the steering wheel) or even feeling the vehicle pull to the side when you apply the brakes.
If you notice any of these symptoms please visit our Quick Lane.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brake Repair
Your brakes are important! They need to function properly in order for you to stop your vehicle safely. Our comprehensive brake inspection covers all the intricacies of YOUR particular make and model’s Brake System so that no part goes overlooked when it comes time for repairs or replacements.
When you press the brakes, they slow down your vehicle’s rotation through friction.
The brake pads on your vehicle are metal plates located on each side of the brake rotors which are the rotating discs that ultimately are attached to your vehicle’s wheels.
Upon pressing down on the brake inside your vehicle the caliper will activate on each of the brake pads helping to sandwich the rotor.
Eventually, through friction, the wheels will come to a stop.
Brake inspections are important because they can save you from a hazardous situation. If your brakes make noises, grabbed or pulsing feeling when applying pressure to them then don’t wait for the next time this happens! It’s dangerous not only will it cost more money but also time spent driving around with unnecessary issues on our hands- just be sure that any noise coming out of their shoes has been determined before addressing anything else since there might not alwaysbe an obvious correlation between different typesoffunctionsand Sounds
We know that having the right brakes can make all of your driving safer and more enjoyable. So, we recommend annual inspections for even better brake performance!
We recommend having your brakes inspected with every oil change which is why we include a FREE brake inspection on every “Works” package.
Your brakes are designed to stop the metal of your calipers from grinding against and damaging them. The more you use them the faster they wear out. A little bit goes a long way with brake pads or shoes as these items have limited life spans before needing replacement. Here’s a general rule on when you should have your brakes inspected or replaced:
- Squeaking or grinding
- A burning smell
- Brakes become hard to press or are very soft.
- Vibration when pressing your steering wheel.
- Noticeable rust and/or flaking in your rotors.
- The brake warning light comes on.
