Your car's brakes are arguably its most important safety feature. They bring you to a smooth stop, keeping you and your loved ones safe on the road. But brakes don't last forever, and worn-out brakes can lead to serious problems. 

Here at Joyce Automotive & Towing, your Lakeland brake shop, we understand the importance of reliable brakes. We offer an array of brake services for all makes and models, including diesel, gasoline, hybrid, and electric vehicles.

Signs You Need Brake Service

Grinding Noises

This is a classic sign that your brake pads in Lakeland are wearing thin and metal components are making contact with the rotor. Don't ignore this sound – it's a warning that your brakes need immediate attention.

Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal

A brake pedal that feels mushy or goes down too far before engaging could indicate several issues, like air in the brake lines or a failing master cylinder.

Increased Stopping Distance

If it takes longer than usual to come to a complete stop, it's a sign that your brakes aren't functioning properly.

Vibrations During Braking

This can be caused by warped rotors, uneven pad wear, or other problems that require a professional inspection.

Brake Warning Lights

Modern cars often have dashboard lights that illuminate when there's a problem with the braking system. Never ignore these warning signs!

At Joyce Automotive, our brake service includes:

  • Inspections and testing of brake system operation

  • Replacement of worn-out brake pads
