Brakes Plus – Southlands

Great service. Took my car in for oil change and to have my brakes checked. Suspected I needed new ones. They were very friendly and helpful and gave me an additional coupon to use on top of the special they were running.

Showed up this afternoon hoping for an inspection and a brake light bulb replacement. The young man was quite nice when telling me he could not get me in for the inspection since they were still too busy and closing was only 2 hours away. He didn’t stop there, instead he and his his fellow teammate offered to immediately change my rear bulb before leaving to avoid potentially being stopped. They quickly learned that there were no bulbs for my vehicle in stock, so the manager left, purchased one, and then returned to have his team install the new for absolutely no cost, not even the parts.

So far so good. Needed a brake job pretty bad. Metal on metal for my rear brakes. My normal guy doesn’t work on Saturdays and as a business owner my schedule is too tight to wait for him. Enter Brakes Plus — only been open for a few months but I get the vibe these guys are on the ball. Place is clean and bays are buzzing with work. On my way home and see a lot of traffic here throughout the week.
Got my car on the rack and had all four wheels off and walked me around the vehicle showing me how much work I needed. Found a few broken CV seals too which sucks. Better on the rack than on the highway right? Pads, rotors, hardware, CV axles, oil change, etc. All in all a lot of money being spent but they comped me a brake fluid change because I ordered the «steak» dinner. I drive about 25,000 miles each year for work so I am OK with heafty preventative maintenance bills.
Picking my car up in a few hours. I’ll post an update a few weeks after work completed but I am reasonably optimistic everything will be smooth.
