Brake Repair Lake Charles, LA

Offering Repairs to : Disc Brakes, Drum Brakes, and more

If you’ve ever driven a different vehicle than your own you may notice their brakes react differently compared to your own vehicle. Newer brakes require less force or pressure to stop the vehicle while older brakes require a much greater force. This is often due to the depth of the brake pads.

Pro Car Care has been dealing with worn down, faulty, and malfunctioning break pads for over 35 years. We take pride in our ability to assist the people of the Southwest Louisiana community with all their mechanic needs. Ranging from inspections, diagnostic test, brake repairs, and much more: regardless of make or model.

Our team here at Pro Car Care is experienced with the repair, and replacement of vehicle brakes. These include disc brakes, and drum brakes. We are often asked how often a person should change their brake pads. Here at Pro Car Care we recommend having your brake pads replaced every 40,000 to 50,000 miles. This ensure your safety and the safety of other passangers on the road.

Don’t wait till it’s too late. Coasting down the interstate without the ability to stop is a horrifying feeling. Trust Pro Car Care to inspect your vehicle, and repair your brakes quickly and professionally. Contact Pro Car Care today.  

If your vehicle is new off the lot and isn't driven often you may not have to look into changing your brake pads for up to 40,000- 50,000 miles. For older vehicles its recommended to have your brake pads inspected/changed every 10,000 - 20,000 miles.

How much Should A Brake Job Cost?

Determining the cost for brake repair services is dependent on a variety of factors. The factors range from, amount of labor, required parts for repair or replacement and the extent of service needed. Replacing your old brake pads requires less service compared to replacing your actual brakes. Stay safe while on the road, ensure that your brakes and brake pads are inspected during routine check up and oil changes. Malfunctioning brakes can often result in pricey repairs and replacements.

Pro Care Care recommends replacing your brakes in pairs. If only one brake pad needs replacing we suggest replacing both front pads. This allows for even ware and tear on your brakes, the pads and your vehicles. Curious to know the condition of your brakes?
