Brake Service in Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, and Carrboro

A system as complicated and important as your brake system demands ASE-certified service like ours. Perfectly functioning brakes are a must for your safety and for the safety of everyone around you on the road.

So why are brakes so complicated? Because they have many parts. In many cars, a disc brake first squeezes a brake pad against a rotor on the front wheels. In other cars, the back wheels also employ disc brakes. Others use drum brakes.

The brakes are then connected by a series of tubes and hoses that link each wheel to a master cylinder, which supplies them with brake fluid (hydraulic fluid). Each time you press your brake pedal, it creates pressure in the cylinder, which moves fluid toward the wheels and compresses the brakes. As we said, brakes are complex, but they’re essential to your safety. If you need brake services in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Apex, Cary, or Carrboro, you can trust Chapel Hill Tire to give you an honest diagnosis and get you back on the road.

Common Brake Services

Most commonly, you will find your car needing brake pad replacements. Over time, the friction material wears away as your brake pads press against the rotors to slow and stop your vehicle. Signs your brake pads need replacing include squeaky and ineffective braking.

The process of your brake pads pressing against your rotors can cause this metal to warm up. Combined with the pressure of your brake pads, this process can warp your rotors over time, requiring rotor replacement. Every couple of years, your braking system will also need a brake fluid flush.

Emissions Testing:

Our emissions testing services are a critical part of the state inspection process, designed to ensure your vehicle adheres to environmental regulations set forth by the state. We use the latest testing technology to accurately measure the amount of pollutants your vehicle is emitting. Whether your vehicle is gasoline, diesel, hybrid, or electric, we can evaluate its emissions to ensure it meets the required standards. Passing the emissions test not only helps in maintaining compliance with state laws but also contributes to environmental conservation by reducing harmful exhaust emissions. If your vehicle fails the emissions test, we offer diagnostics and repair services to address and resolve the issues promptly, helping you achieve compliance and improve your vehicle's environmental performance.

State Referee Inspections

For vehicles that require special attention or have unique modifications, our state referee inspection services are designed to assist. State referee inspections are crucial for verifying that modified vehicles, including those with aftermarket emissions equipment or rebuilt salvage titles, comply with all safety and environmental regulations. Our expert inspectors have the specialized knowledge to evaluate these modifications and ensure they meet state standards. If your vehicle has been non-compliant in past inspections or requires certification for modifications, schedule a referee inspection with us to resolve any compliance issues effectively.

Importance of State Inspections and Repercussions of Non-Compliance

State inspections are essential not only for ensuring that your vehicle meets safety and emissions standards but also for maintaining public safety on the roads. These inspections help identify potential issues that could lead to accidents or increased environmental pollution. Failing to have your vehicle inspected as required by state law can result in a variety of repercussions, including fines, penalties, and even the revocation of your vehicle registration. In some cases, driving a vehicle that has not passed inspection can also lead to increased liability in the event of an accident, as it may be considered neglect of vehicle maintenance. Regular state inspections ensure that your vehicle is safe to operate and compliant with all regulatory requirements, helping to avoid these negative outcomes.
