Brake Repair Services in Bushwood
Ensuring Reliable Stopping Power
At Hill's Auto Repair, we want our Bushwood customers to have the opportunity to feel comfortable in their vehicle. You can leave the brake repairs and services to our professionals, but please don't hesitate to ask us questions about why a service is needed or how it occurred. Give us a call at 301-769-2400, and we will be happy to speak with you. Here is some valuable information on brake issues and corrective services we offer.
Comprehensive Brake Repair Services
We provide a full range of brake repair services to ensure your vehicle performs at its best. Our services include:
Anti-Lock Brake System
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) ensures your wheels keep rotating during braking, preventing skidding and providing better control. If your ABS light illuminates, visit Hill's Auto Repair for a diagnosis and professional repair.
Brake Fluid Flushes
Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air over time, diminishing brake effectiveness and becoming corrosive, potentially harming the system. Regular brake fluid flushes are vital to ensure fresh fluid usage in your vehicle. Consult our technicians at Hill's Auto Repair to determine the right time for a brake fluid flush.
Brake Hoses
A brake hose carries pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A damaged hose can lead to delayed or weak braking, and a leak may result in brake failure. While the need for a replacement brake hose isn't common, any signs of cracking or wear should prompt immediate replacement.
Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement
Squealing brakes often indicate brake pad issues. When brake pads deteriorate completely, a harsh metal-on-metal grinding noise occurs during braking, indicating potential rotor or drum damage. Although experienced individuals may attempt home repairs, if you have brake concerns, it's best to consult an auto repair professional promptly.
Caliper Replacement
The brake caliper houses brake pads and clamps around the rotor to apply pressure during braking. Caliper problems can cause uneven braking, leading to skidding during braking and loss of control in adverse weather conditions. Contact Hill's Auto Repair in Bushwood at your earliest convenience for assistance.
Resurface Rotors
In a disc brake system, rotors attach to your vehicle's wheels. The friction with brake pads over time creates grooves and cracks. The process of resurfacing restores rotors to a "like-new" condition, reducing noise and wobbling. At Hill's Auto Repair, we inspect your rotors thoroughly and recommend the best course of action.
Serving Bushwood and Surrounding Areas
At Hill's Auto Repair, we proudly serve drivers in Bushwood and nearby communities with trusted brake repair services. Whether you need routine maintenance or emergency repairs, we're here to keep your vehicle safe and road-ready.
Brake FAQs
Learn about some of the common questions you may have:
Why are my brakes squeaking?
Noises coming from your brakes do not usually indicate a high-cost auto repair. It could be a foreign object such as a small stone or road debris. It could also be a signal that your brake-pads are wearing out and need replacing. As brake pads wear bits of metal in your brake pad come in contact with the rotor to create a squeaking noise when you apply the brakes.
Why are my brakes making a grinding noise?
Grinding noises usually indicate that your car's brake system is overdue for maintenance. The grinding sound is usually caused by the brake pad being completely worn away or the brake shoe scraping on metal contact points.
Why are my brakes vibrating?
If your car shakes or vibrates or wobbles when you apply the brakes, it indicates that the thickness of your rotor is uneven. Brake rotors are large, perfectly round, smooth metal discs that sit inside of the wheels. When the disc has become misshapen or unevenly worn it will vibrate or wobble when you hit the brakes. Left uneven, the material will continue to build on the uneven spots, making the problem worse over time.
Why are my brakes making a burning smell?
Overheated brakes cause a noticeable burning chemical smell. Pull over to a safe place and allow the brakes to cool. Ensure you did not accidentally leave the parking brake on. If there's any smoke coming from a wheel, it may be that the brake caliper is malfunctioning and locked in place. In this case, it may be unsafe to continue driving.
What are the 3 signs that brake pads are worn?
The three most common sounds that indicate you need to replace your brake pads are squeaking, grinding or the dashboard brake indicator light coming on.

I called Hill's Auto Repair to get pricing on installation of a new set of OEM tires for my Subaru Crosstrek due to the winter weather approaching and due to fact that I had 93k miles on them (definitely got my money's worth). Initially the price would have been around $1200 dollars out the door for the same exact tire but after talking with the guy on the phone he indicated that he had just put a set of KHUMO tires on his wife's car and had been satisfied with them and that the price would be about $750 out the door. I proceeded to do my own research and discovered that the tires he recommended had good ratings with consumer reports because of their affordability and their performance. Needless to say I was sold on the KHUMO tires initially because of the price point but after driving on them for about 10 days I can honestly say that I am completely satisfied. You never realize how bad you need new "shoes" until you get new ones. In the end it just goes to show you that you don't have to break the bank with the big brands and it's ok to purchase a mid-tier tire that fits your budget.

Whenever anything goes off on my car (in addition to regular maintenance) I call Hill's immediately. They've kept my good old car in mint condition. Wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Hill's Auto crew is professional, courteous, and invariably honest. I have been a customer for more than twenty years. What a treasure! -
