Brake System Service & Repair
Your car’s brakes are the most important safety system on your vehicle. Whether you’re cruising on Sheikh Zayed Road or stopping in bumper-to-bumper traffic, you need a brake system you can trust. At Max Garage, Al Quoz (adjust name if needed), we provide complete brake inspection, service, and repair for all makes and models – from daily drivers to high-performance and luxury cars.
What Your Brake System Does
Every time you press the brake pedal, a lot happens in a fraction of a second:
The brake booster helps multiply your foot pressure so you don’t have to press too hard.
The master cylinder converts that pressure into hydraulic force using brake fluid.
Brake lines & hoses carry this pressurised fluid to the wheels.
At each wheel, brake calipers squeeze the brake pads against the brake discs (rotors), creating friction that slows your car.
On some vehicles, drum brakes at the rear use brake shoes pressing outward on a drum to stop the wheel.
Modern cars also integrate safety systems like ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), ESP/ESC (stability control) and, in many newer and hybrid/EV models, regenerative braking working alongside traditional brakes. Keeping all of these components in top condition is essential for safe, predictable stopping.
Signs You Need Brake Service
If you notice any of the following, your brakes need professional attention as soon as possible:
Squealing or grinding noises when braking
Vibration or pulsation felt through the brake pedal or steering wheel
Soft, spongy, or very hard brake pedal
Car pulling to one side when braking
Burning smell after braking
Brake warning light on your dashboard
Increased stopping distance or brakes that don’t feel as strong as before
Ignoring these symptoms can quickly turn a minor issue into a major, expensive repair – and more importantly, can put your safety at risk.
Common Brake Problems We Fix
We handle everything from simple pad changes to complex brake system repairs, including:
Worn or damaged brake pads
Scored, warped, or cracked brake discs (rotors)
Sticking or seized brake calipers
Leaking or contaminated brake fluid
Corroded or damaged brake lines and hoses
Noisy brakes (squeak, squeal, grinding)
ABS warning lights and ABS module / sensor faults
Handbrake / parking brake not holding properly
Spongy or low pedal due to air in the system
For vehicles with advanced systems, we also diagnose and repair ABS/ESP faults, brake pressure sensors, and electronic parking brake issues using dealer-level diagnostic tools.
Our Brake Service & Repair Process
When you bring your car to us for brake service, we follow a thorough, step-by-step process to ensure nothing is missed:
1. Initial Road Test
We start with a test drive to feel how your brakes behave under real driving conditions – checking pedal feel, noise, vibration, straight-line braking and overall stopping performance.
2. Full Visual & Mechanical Inspection
Your vehicle is then lifted and our technicians inspect:
Brake pads and discs at all four wheels
Calipers, sliders, and mounting hardware
Brake lines, hoses and fittings for leaks or damage
Brake fluid level and condition
Handbrake/parking brake operation and adjustment
ABS/ESP components and sensors (if required)
3. Diagnostic Scan (If Needed)
If any brake or ABS warning lights are on, we connect professional diagnostic equipment to read fault codes, live data and system status. This helps us pinpoint electronic issues quickly and accurately.
4. Clear Job Explanation & Quotation
We explain our findings in simple terms: what needs attention now, what is urgent for safety, and what can be monitored. You’ll receive a detailed quotation for parts and labour before any work begins. No surprises.
5. Professional Brake Repair & Parts Replacement
Depending on what your car needs, our services may include:
Brake pad replacement (front/rear)
Disc (rotor) resurfacing or replacement
Caliper repair, cleaning, or replacement
Brake fluid flush and bleed
Handbrake adjustment and repair
ABS sensor or module replacement
Cleaning and lubricating all moving brake component
We use high-quality OEM or equivalent parts suitable for your vehicle brand and driving style.
6. Brake Fluid Flush & Bleeding
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which reduces braking performance and can cause internal corrosion. As part of brake service or at recommended intervals, we:
Drain old brake fluid
Refill with manufacturer-approved brake fluid
Bleed the system to remove all air pockets
Check pedal feel and braking response
7. Final Road Test & Quality Check
After the repair, we perform another road test and final inspection to ensure your brakes are quiet, smooth, and stopping the vehicle safely and consistently.

How Often Should You Service Your Brakes?
There is no single answer, as brake wear depends on:
Your driving style (heavy city traffic vs. mostly highway)
Vehicle weight and power
Quality of parts previously installed
Driving conditions and temperature
As a general guideline, we recommend:
Brake inspection at least once a year or every 10,000–15,000 km
Brake fluid replacement every 2 years (or as per manufacturer schedule)
Pads and discs checked regularly and replaced when thickness is below safety limits or when performance drops
During routine service at our workshop, we always take a quick look at your brakes and will let you know if they need attention.
