Brake Special at PSP
Limited-Time Brake Special — Plainfield, IL
Most Brake Jobs
Are Sold, Not Needed.
About half the cars that come in for "brakes" don't need them yet. So before anyone quotes you a brake job, get the actual answer — a free 21-point brake inspection with a photo report, on any make or model.

Why We Run It This Way
"If your pads have 8mm left, we're going to tell you to come back next year."
Brakes are the most over-sold repair in this industry. Chain shops quote pads and rotors off a glance because the ticket is easy. We measure — pad thickness, rotor condition, fluid moisture content, lines, calipers, hardware — photograph everything, and hand you the report. If you need brakes, you'll see exactly why. If you don't, you'll know exactly how long you've got.

The Brake Special
21-Point Brake Inspection
FreeWith Photo Report — Normally $89
Every measurement, every photo, every honest answer — no charge and no obligation. Runs through September 30, 2026. All makes and models welcome.
Schedule OnlineIf You Do Need Brakes
Book your brake service from the inspection and the brake fluid flush is on us — because summer heat cooks brake fluid, and fall rain is when drivers find out.
Complimentary fluid flush applies to brake services booked from a completed inspection through 9/30/26. One per vehicle. Cannot be combined with other offers.
What We Actually Check
The 21-Point Inspection
Not a glance through the wheel spokes. Wheels come off, measurements get taken, photos go in your report.
01
02
Rotor Condition
Thickness, scoring, heat checking, and lateral runout — the difference between "resurface," "replace," and "leave it alone."
03
Fluid Moisture Test
Brake fluid absorbs water. Past 3%, your boiling point drops and pedal feel goes with it. We test it, not guess it.
04
Calipers & Hardware
Sticking slides and seized pins destroy new pads early. We check movement, boots, and hardware condition.
05
Lines & Hoses
Cracking, swelling, and corrosion at the fittings — the failure points nobody looks at until there's a problem.
06
Sensors & Electronics
Wear sensors, ABS faults, and parking brake function — including modern electronic parking brake systems.
How It Works
Thirty Minutes, Zero Pressure
Step 1

Pick a time that works. Most inspections take about 30 minutes — stay in the lounge or drop the car off.
Step 2
We Measure & Photograph
Wheels off, 21 points checked, photos taken. The report is yours whether you spend a dollar here or not.
Step 3
You Decide
Need brakes? We quote it with OEM+ parts and you get the fluid flush free. Don't? See you when you actually do.
When To Come In Now
Signs Worth A Look
Squealing Or Grinding
Squeal is usually the wear indicator doing its job. Grinding means it already did — and rotors are now on the menu.
Soft Or Sinking Pedal
Air or moisture in the system, or a hydraulic issue. Either way, it's not a "wait until winter" problem.
Pulling Or Vibration
Pulling under braking points at a caliper; steering wheel shake points at rotors. Both show up in the inspection.
Brake Warning Light
If your car has a wear sensor, that light is a planned window to act — not an emergency yet. Use it; that's what it's for.
Straight Answers
FAQs
Is the brake inspection really free?
Yes.
How long does a brake inspection take?
About 30 minutes for most vehicles.
What vehicles do you work on?
All makes and models — daily drivers, trucks, and performance cars alike.
What parts do you use for brake service?
OEM+ — parts that meet or exceed factory spec, from the same suppliers the dealers use, without the dealer markup.
Why does brake fluid matter?
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point — that's the spongy pedal after hard driving or a hot summer. Most manufacturers recommend a flush every two to three years. Ours is complimentary with any brake service booked from your inspection during this special.
