It isn’t every day that your brakes stop working. However, when they do, you want to address the problem immediately to prevent damage or collisions while driving. Our staff have inspected and fixed thousands of brakes, so we are not afraid of a challenge. You could need new brake pads or rotors, or your hydraulic system might need adjustments or repairs.

Common Brake Repair Causes

Getting into the common causes for brake repair, our Bohemia, NY, clients will regularly come into the shop with things like worn pads, warped brake rotors, brake fluid leaks, damaged or defective calipers, air in their brake lines, brake hose or line damage, and general issues with pressure. Of course, we do not know what is triggering brake problems or a brake light on your dashboard until you visit, so please see us each week from Mon – Fri: 8AM – 5PM for an inspection and initial diagnosis. From there, our team will recommend necessary repairs or replacements, and depending on the time, we can get your brakes fixed that same day. We treat all our customers like they are family, and we value your business and money, so do not ever worry about the quality of our work. When your brakes need repair, we are the right team in town to get started on it.  

Yearly Maintenance  

The best way to avoid costly and time-consuming brake repair throughout the year is to book your brake system maintenance with a reputable and certified team. At Nico’s Way Automotive, we can get you on a six- and 12-month brake system schedule, focusing on pad and rotor condition, fluids, and general hydraulic and safety testing every 5,000 to 7,500 miles you drive. The industry recommends brake upkeep twice yearly, so we try to follow that with our customers. You can miss little warning signs on the road, which twice-annual brake checks will catch, saving you a headache in a few months, years, and miles. We see almost everything at our shop in Bohemia, so bring us your worst. We will fix it! 

Common warning signs include squealing or grinding noises, a soft or spongy brake pedal, vibration when braking, or your vehicle pulling to one side. If you notice any of these, it’s best to have your brakes inspected right away.
Most brake pads last between 25,000–70,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and vehicle type. We recommend having your brakes checked at every oil change to catch wear early.
Squealing is often caused by worn brake pads reaching their wear indicators, though it can also result from dust, glazing, or low-quality pads. Our technicians can pinpoint the exact cause.
No — grinding usually means the pads are completely worn and metal is contacting metal, which can damage your rotors and compromise stopping power. Get this inspected as soon as possible.
Cost varies based on the extent of the damage — pad replacement is less expensive than needing new rotors or calipers. We provide a full inspection and upfront quote before any work begins.
