Our technicians handle pads, rotors, calipers and fluid, and we show you the worn parts before we replace anything. Brakes are the one system you never gamble on. At TAB Motors we start every brake job with a **free brake inspection**, we pull the wheels, measure pad thickness, check the rotors for scoring and warping, and look at the calipers, hoses and fluid. Then we show you what we found before recommending a single part. That transparency is why Arlington drivers keep coming back for "honest diagnostics, quality work, and fair pricing." ## Complete brake service - Front and rear brake pad replacement - Rotor resurfacing or replacement - Caliper service and replacement - Brake fluid flush and bleed - Brake line and hose inspection and repair - Parking brake adjustment ## Signs it's time for brakes Don't wait for the grind. Come in if you notice a high-pitched squeal that comes and goes, a grinding sound (that's metal on metal, rotor damage territory), a brake pedal that feels soft or pulses, a longer stopping distance, or a vibration in the wheel when you slow down. Catching worn pads early usually saves the rotors, which keeps the repair smaller and cheaper. ## Quality parts, fair price We install quality pads and rotors matched to your vehicle and how you drive, daily commuter, family SUV, or something that sees the highway hard. Brakes often fail a [Virginia safety inspection](./virginia-state-inspection.html), so if yours are marginal we can handle both at once and send you out with a fresh sticker and a firm pedal. ## Frequently asked questions **Is the brake inspection really free?** Yes. We'll inspect your brakes and give you an honest assessment at no charge. If they're fine, we'll tell you. **How much does a brake job cost?** It depends on your vehicle and whether you need pads only or pads and rotors. We give you an upfront price after the free inspection, no surprises. **Can I just replace the pads and keep my rotors?** Sometimes, if the rotors are within spec and not warped. We measure them and tell you honestly whether they can be reused or resurfaced. **How long does a brake job take?** Most pad-and-rotor jobs are done the same day. Call ahead at (703) 243-3080 so we have the right parts ready. **My car pulls or vibrates when braking, what is that?** Usually warped rotors or uneven pad wear. Bring it in and we'll pinpoint it during the free inspection. --- Call (703) 243-3080 or visit 4035 Old Dominion Dr, Arlington, VA 22207.
