Brakes in Arlington, TX
Complete brake inspection, pad and rotor replacement, and brake fluid service for all vehicles
Understanding Brakes
Brake service includes inspecting, repairing, or replacing the components that stop your vehicle—brake pads, rotors (discs), calipers, brake fluid, and hardware. At E1 Auto Care in Arlington, we inspect your brakes to measure pad thickness and assess rotor condition before recommending any work. Most vehicles use disc brakes on all four wheels, though some trucks still have rear drum brakes. Stop-and-go traffic on I-20, I-30, and around Arlington's busy shopping areas puts extra wear on brakes, so we recommend inspections every 15,000-20,000 miles or sooner if you notice any warning signs.
Customer Reviews
"I took my car to another shop and was told I needed 4 repairs for $1,500. E1 did two repairs (brake pads and a tie rod) for about half the price, and told me the other two repairs were not needed. They walked me out to show me everything. I have found my go-to shop!"
- Curtis H.
"I love taking my car up here. They are very professional and explain to you in depth what's going on with your car. I had to get new rotors and brakes and they had me going in 1hr! They are the best! I promise you'll get your money's worth!"
- Timbreyelle J.
"There are some services where trust is paramount - your dentist, your accountant... your mechanic. E1 Auto Care is a shop I'd recommend to anyone because I trust them. I trust their workmanship, I trust that their prices are fair and competitive."
