How we handle it

No mystery.
No pressure.

01

Listen and road test

We drive it and hear what you hear, so we start with the real symptom.

02

Inspect the whole system

Pads, rotors, calipers, hoses and brake fluid. Front and rear.

03

Show you what we found

You see the worn parts and get your options in plain English.

04

Fix only what is needed

Then we test drive again to make sure it stops straight and quiet.

What happens after we look

Now. Soon.
Monitor.

We separate urgent safety repairs from future maintenance, and you decide. Here is what that looks like for brake repair.

Now

Pads worn down to metal, or brake fluid leaking. That is a safety issue and we will tell you straight.

Soon

Pads getting thin or rotors starting to warp. Not an emergency, but plan for it.

Monitor

Rear brakes that still have life left. We will note it and check again next visit.

Had a fantastic experience with Tee. Very affordable oil change, and wiper blade replacement. He also found the problem with my A/C, hole in the condenser, ordered the part and got my car ready for summer. This is old school service. Hard to find an honest, smart mechanic with great rates and fast service. Tee is your man!

I’m a mechanic that didn’t fill like doing my breaks. Great service, reasonable prices and they don’t force fixes on you but will let you know if other repairs are necessary in the near future. Will return.

I had a great experience with Terry. He quickly identified the issue and fixed my car faster than expected. His integrity truly stands out. He was very attentive, kept me updated every step of the way, and made sure I fully understood what was going on before moving forward. Honest, reliable, and highly recommended.

Brake Repair FAQ

Questions we
hear a lot.

No. If your rotors are still thick enough and not warped, we will tell you they can stay. You only pay for what your car actually needs.

It depends on why it is on. It can mean low brake fluid or a problem in the system. Call the shop, tell us what the car is doing, and we will tell you if it is safe to bring it in.

Often it is a wear indicator telling you the pads are getting thin. It can also be glazed pads, dust, or hardware. We will find out which one it is.

Call or text the shop

Not sure what
it needs?

Start with a straight answer. Call or text Tees Auto Repairs at (313) 370-8603 and tell us what your vehicle is doing.
