Start with a free brake inspection

Brakes perform a crucial function in your vehicle’s stopping power. But brake pads and rotors naturally wear out over time. That’s why it’s a good idea to schedule a brake inspection. We recommend getting your brakes inspected at every oil change interval, or about 3,000 to 5,000 miles. There’s no better place in Provo to get your brakes inspected, repaired, or replaced than Cougar Tire.

Free Brakes Inspection Service

If you live in or around Provo, Utah and think you might be due for a brake service, feel free to stop in for a free brake inspection. No need for an appointment, we’ll get you in and out in about 30 minutes.

What’s included in our free brake inspection

1. Undercarriage inspection: The first thing we do in our free brake inspection is to put your vehicle on a lift to raise it high enough to inspect for potential damage under the car, in and around your brakes and axles. We specifically look for fluid leaks and anything out of the norm.
2. Brake pad inspection: The most obvious concern with brakes is the brake pad thickness. A new brake pad will be around 12mm (1/2″) thick. Pads with sensors typically begin to signal when they get down to around 3mm (1/8″). You’ll hear a squeal when you hit the brakes or see a warning light on the dash if pads get worn down to 3mm or less. Most manufacturers recommend replacing pads when they reach 3mm or are about 75% worn out. We use a special measuring device to get precise measurements on thickness and look at the general condition of the brake pads. We will advise you on the exact thickness of all 4 brake pads and make recommendations so you can make an informed decision about when to replace them. And of course we will notify you of any potential safety hazards.
3. Visual brake calipers inspection: We remove all four wheels and check the brake calipers. We are looking to verify that the calipers are working properly, move freely and are properly lubricated. If we notice that one or more of the calipers aren’t working properly, we’ll note that as a safety concern in our inspection report and talk to you in person about it.

How our mechanics perform this brake service

• Confirm the thickness of the remaining material on the brake pads. If the pads are less than 2 mm in thickness, pad replacement is recommended.
• Inspect the surface of the pads and rotors for scoring, pitting, grooves or rust and anything unusual and will show you photos of your pads if we find damage to your brake pads.

Measuring Brake Rotor Thickness

• Inspect the calipers, torque plate, pads, and rotors to ensure the caliper is operating freely. Sometimes calipers can’t get stuck open or closed causing excessive wear or problems with breaking. We’ll make sure they’re moving freely and correctly.
• Install new premium quality brake pads based to original OEM specifications.
• Lubricate brake system components like caliper sliding pins.
• We will also inspect the condition of the brake fluid and top it off if needed. If we see your brake fluid has contaminates or needs replacing, we’ll make that recommendation to you on the spot so you can decide whether you want us to change the brake fluid.

Checking Brake Fluid Purity & Levels

• Perform a basic 50 point inspection on your vehicle and provide you with a full report of items we checked and verified for safety and normal operation of your vehicle.
• Once we complete the replacement of your brake pads and rotors and finish the job right, we’ll test drive your vehicle to confirm that your brake system is operating and functioning properly.
• All of automotive services here at Cougar Tire are backed up with the strongest National Service Warranty in the business. And with every purchase we include free roadside assistance – towing, flat tire changes, lockout service, jump starts, and more – honored nationwide.
