Brakes Repair Indianapolis, IN

A vehicle’s brakes are one of its most important safety features, and we want to make sure that Swift Auto Service customers stay safe.

Whether your brake pads are signaling they need replacement, your brake light is on, or you’re not comfortable with how quickly your vehicle is slowing down, call us at (317) 791-1000 or visit us in Indianapolis and we’ll give you a prompt diagnosis of your braking system’s safety and reliability.

Anti-Lock Brake System

Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) ensure that the wheels don’t stop rotating during braking, preventing the car from skidding and offering greater control. If your ABS light comes on, visit Swift Auto Service where we will be happy to diagnose and fix the problem.

Brake Fluid Flushes

Brake fluid will absorb water from the air over time, causing the brake system to become less effective and the fluid to become corrosive, possibly damaging the system. It is important to perform a brake fluid flush regularly to ensure that your vehicle is using fresh fluid. Talk to our technicians at Swift Auto Service about when it’s time for a brake fluid flush.

Brake Hoses

A brake hose is a tube carrying pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A crushed hose can cause a lagged or slow brake, and a leak in the hose can cause the brake, or the entire brake system, to fail. These don’t need to be replaced often, but should be replaced at the first sign of cracking or wear.

Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement

Brake pad problems can usually be identified by squealing brakes. If your brake pads deteriorate completely, you’ll hear a grinding metal-on-metal sound when braking, meaning that it’s too late and you’re ruining your rotors or drums! Those with knowledge of auto repair may be able to fix this at home, but you should always see an auto repair professional immediately if you have brake problems.

Caliper Replacement

The brake caliper houses your brake pads and fits around the rotor like a clamp, pressing the pads against the rotor when you brake. A brake caliper problem could cause uneven braking, making your car slide forward when you brake. Uneven braking can also cause your vehicle to slide out of control in bad weather conditions, so contact Swift Auto Service as soon as possible.

Resurface Rotors

In a disc brake system, rotors are attached to your vehicle’s wheels. When the brake pads grip the rotor, they bring both the rotor and wheels to a stop. However, the friction causes grooves and cracks to appear over time. Resurfacing brings the rotor back to a “like-new” condition, reducing squealing and wobbling. Swift Auto Service will give your rotors a thorough inspection and recommend your best course of action.

Suspension Work

Your vehicle’s suspension system supports your vehicle’s body and keeps your ride smooth. Beyond this, your suspension system and shocks help you keep control of your vehicle while in motion. If your suspension malfunctions, it can dramatically impact how your car rides and how well you can control it.

Outside of rough handling, drifting and pulling during turns, oily shocks and the bounce test are all signs that your suspension may be in need of repair. When you suspect that your suspension system needs repairs, give Swift Auto Service a call. Our team can accurately diagnose your vehicle.
