What’s included
A brake inspection gives you a starting point for understanding braking noise, vibration or wear. The required work depends on the vehicle and the condition of its braking components. The store can explain its findings, available repair options and estimated cost before you decide.
Inspect wear and condition
Discuss pad and rotor condition, visible leaks and the symptoms you have noticed.Compare repair options
Review recommended parts, the work involved and why each item is included in the estimate.Approve the work
Confirm the total, expected timing and applicable warranty before the repair starts.
How it works
Brake noise, vibration or a change in pedal feel should be described clearly to your advisor. A brake inspection helps identify the condition of pads, rotors and related components so you can review a repair estimate based on your vehicle, rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Step 1: Pads, rotors and calipers
The technician checks pad and rotor wear and looks at the calipers and hoses for leaks, starting with what you noticed.
Step 2: Measured, not guessed
Pad thickness and rotor condition are measured, so the estimate rests on what your brakes actually show.
Step 3: You approve the work
You review an itemized estimate first. New pads or rotors go on only after you say yes.

Can I get a repair price before the inspection?
An inspection helps establish which parts and work are needed. A generic pad price may not represent the repair your vehicle requires; request a written estimate based on the findings.
What should I tell the advisor?
Describe the noise or feeling in your own words, when it happens and whether it is getting worse. You do not need to identify the faulty part.
How much does brake inspection cost?
It depends on your vehicle and what it needs, so your store quotes it after looking at the vehicle and before any work is done.
How long does brake inspection take?
Plan on about 30 min in the bay. Your advisor tells you before starting if your vehicle needs longer, for example when parts must be ordered.
Do I pay when I book?
No. Booking online is free and there is no payment today. You pay at San Marcos after the work is done.
Can I wait while it’s done?
Yes. When you book, choose whether you’ll wait or drop off your vehicle, and your store plans the visit around it.
Can I combine this with another service?
Yes. You can choose several services when you book. Your store reviews the requested work, available parts and time needed before confirming.
