Reliable Repairs and Safe Braking from the Experts at Andy’s Automotive
When it comes to your vehicle, nothing is more important than safety—and that starts with your brakes. At Andy’s Automotive in Reno, NV, we specialize in comprehensive brake services and expert automotive repairs to keep you, your passengers, and everyone on the road safe.

Complete Brake Services
Your vehicle’s braking system is critical for safe driving. Over time, brake components wear out due to everyday use, especially in mountainous or stop-and-go driving conditions like we see here in Northern Nevada. Ignoring brake issues can lead to longer stopping distances, reduced control, and expensive damage.
At Andy’s Automotive, we offer a full range of brake inspections, repairs, and replacements for all makes and models. Our brake services include:
- Brake Inspections
Not sure what's going on? We’ll inspect your entire braking system, including pads, rotors, calipers, brake fluid, and lines. We’ll provide a clear, honest assessment and walk you through any repairs we recommend. - Brake Pad Replacement
Brake pads wear out over time and need to be replaced before they damage your rotors. If you’re hearing squealing, grinding, or your car pulls when stopping, it’s time to check your pads. We use high-quality OEM and performance-grade pads depending on your needs. - Brake Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement
Warped or worn rotors can cause vibrations or a pulsing brake pedal. Depending on the condition, we’ll resurface or replace them to restore smooth, reliable braking. - Brake Caliper Service
Sticking or seized calipers can lead to uneven wear and reduced braking power. We repair or replace calipers to keep your system functioning properly. - Brake Fluid Flushes
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which can corrode brake parts and reduce performance. We recommend a flush every 2 years or as specified by your vehicle’s manufacturer.
Signs You Need Brake Service
Not sure if your brakes need attention? Watch (and listen) for these common warning signs:
- Squealing, grinding, or scraping sounds
- Soft or spongy brake pedal
- Vibrations or pulsations when braking
- Longer stopping distances
- Brake warning light on your dashboard
- Car pulls to one side while braking
If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait. Bring your vehicle to Andy’s Automotive and let our ASE-certified technicians take a look. We’ll diagnose the issue and get you safely back on the road.
