Brake Repair

Your brakes are one of the most important safety systems on your vehicle. When they wear out or stop working the way they should, it affects your ability to stop quickly and safely in everyday driving. At Van Wyk Auto in Sheboygan, we provide dependable brake inspections, service, and repair so you can drive with confidence and peace of mind.

Whether you hear noise when braking, feel vibration through the pedal, or just want a professional inspection, our technicians have the tools and expertise to get the job done right.

Why Your Brakes Matter

Your brake system is more than just pads and rotors. It includes calipers, brake lines, fluid, sensors, and more. When any part of this system wears down, your vehicle’s stopping power can be reduced or unpredictable — which is dangerous in daily driving conditions, especially on wet, icy, or snowy roads.

Signs You Need Brake Service

Brake problems often begin subtle and get worse over time. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time for a brake check:

• Squealing, grinding, or scraping noises

• Vibration or pulsation when braking

• Longer stopping distances

• Brake warning light on the dash

• Soft or spongy brake pedal

• Pulling to one side when braking

These are common signs your brake pads, rotors, or other components may be worn or damaged.

Brake Services We Provide

At Van Wyk Auto, our brake services are thorough, accurate, and focused on your safety:

Brake Inspection and Diagnosis

We check pad thickness, rotor condition, caliper operation, fluid level and condition, and overall system performance.

Brake Pad Replacement

Worn pads can reduce stopping power and damage rotors. We install quality pads that match your vehicle’s needs.

Rotor Replacement

Smooth, flat rotors are important for even braking. We assess rotor condition and recommend replacement when necessary.

Brake Fluid Service

Old or contaminated brake fluid can reduce braking performance. We flush and replace brake fluid to help maintain consistent pedal feel and performance.

Brake Caliper and Hardware Service

Corroded or sticking calipers and worn hardware can cause uneven braking. We inspect and address these issues for safe, reliable stops.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my brakes inspected?
We recommend having your brakes checked at least once a year or anytime you notice noise, vibration, or decreased braking performance.

Can I wait to replace brake pads until they are completely worn?
No. Waiting too long can cause damage to rotors and other components, leading to more costly repairs.

Why does my brake pedal feel soft or spongy?
A soft pedal can indicate air in the brake lines, low brake fluid, or internal system issues. A full inspection helps identify the cause.

Are all brake pads the same?
No. Different vehicles and driving styles benefit from specific types of pads. We help you choose the right option for your needs.
