Brake Repair Services in Charlotte


Securing Dependable Brake Performance

Your vehicle's brakes are one of its most critical safety features, and maintaining them is essential for your safety and the safety of others on the road. At Leo's Auto Care in Charlotte, we specialize in professional brake repair services to keep your car stopping safely and efficiently. Whether you're hearing squealing, noticing reduced braking power, or experiencing a spongy brake pedal, our experienced technicians are here to diagnose and resolve the issue promptly.





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 Leo's Auto Care 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 Leo's Auto Care 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 Leo's Auto Care in Charlotte 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 Leo's Auto Care, we inspect your rotors thoroughly and recommend the best course of action.

Brake FAQs

Learn about some of the common questions you may have:

Why are my brakes making a grinding noise?

Grinding noises often mean that your brake system is critically worn and requires immediate attention. This sound typically indicates that the brake pads have worn through.

Why are my brakes squeaking?

Squeaking brakes might be caused by something as minor as road debris or as urgent as worn-out pads. It's a sign to check your brakes before the condition worsens.

Why are my brakes vibrating?

Vibrations during braking usually point to uneven rotor surfaces. Our team at Leo's Auto Care can inspect and resurface your vehicle's rotors to eliminate this issue.

Why are my brakes making a burning smell?

A burning smell from your brakes suggests they're overheating. Stop driving and check if your parking brake is engaged. If smoke is visible, it could be due to a stuck caliper.

What are the 3 signs that brake pads are worn?

Common indicators of worn brake pads include squeaking, grinding noises, or the brake warning light on your dashboard.

Excellent service from the time I walked in the door till I left. He did a great job on my brake job. I've been dealing with Leo's Auto Care for over 5 years. I will continue to send business his way.

I went in as soon as they opened to get my front brake pads replaced. They completed the job in a timely manner, and I was extremely satisfied with their service. I'd feel comfortable going back to them for any maintenance and service needs.

Yesterday I took a 2022 mazda to get it checked out. I worked with Juan. He was amazing. He took it out for a test drive. We went together and he did a thorough check of the vehicle. I would definitely recommend this place, and to take if you want to get a used car inspected prior to purchase.

I can’t be more happy for writing this review! I came in today because my car was having some kind of weird issue (at least to me) and as soon as I stepped in the auto care, the lady at the front desk was very welcoming and polite. I was recommended to reach Mr. Juan and he was there today. He was super nice and polite and he took the time to check on my car and explain to me everything about the issue. The process was super smooth and the price was very reasonable! I highly recommend this place, you won’t regret it!

My check engine light came on and it was something wrong with the catalytic converter. The mechanic walked me through all the options with prices from least expensive to most expensive with worst-case scenarios. It was the first time a mechanic was upfront about possible causes, other things that could be done, and prices. This shop had it done within 2 hours and I didn't have to spend over 1k on a new catalytic converter. They didn't try to upsell me on anything. This is where I'm going from now on.
