Brakes are probably the second most vital safety item on your vehicle – right after the steering system. At Toole’s Garage in Valley Springs we offer comprehensive brake services. Whether your Toyota needs new brake pads, or your Chevy Silverado needs brake fluid change, or your Ford F-150 needs brake inspection – our technicians, certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), will get your vehicle’s brakes serviced and get it ready for the road.
Our Valley Springs auto care facility offers full range of automotive services, but we consider brake service to be especially important. When you bring your vehicle to our shop, you will be greeted by our friendly service advisors, and can expect superior customer service, local shuttle for your convenience and 36 months / 36,000 mile warranty for your peace of mind.
Modern brakes, whether disc brakes or drum brakes require regular service and inspections. Brake lines could go bad, sticky calipers could cause the vehicle to pull to one side, warped rotors can cause shaking while braking, and worn out brake pads could results in repairs that otherwise would not be needed.
So if your vehicle has not had a brake inspection for over a year, or if you have any concerns about its brakes or how it brakes, call Toole’s Garage in Valley Springs. We will be happy to set up an appointment that fits your schedule. Alternatively, you can make an appointment online, on our website, if you so desire.
