Brake repair
Brake repair at Fly Fix
Brakes are the one system you never want to guess about.
At Fly Fix in Provo, we inspect the whole brake system, not just the part that squeals.
We pull the wheels, measure the pads and rotors, and look at the calipers, hoses and fluid.
Then we show you what we found and quote the work before anyone picks up a wrench.
Symptoms
Signs your brakes need attention
Squealing when you stop
A high squeal when you slow down often means the pads are worn to the wear indicator.
Grinding or scraping
Metal on metal means the pads are gone and the rotors are being cut up with every stop.
Pulsing pedal
A shaking pedal or steering wheel under braking usually points to warped or uneven rotors.
Soft or sinking pedal
A pedal that sinks to the floor or feels spongy can mean air, a fluid leak or a weak hose.
Pulling to one side
If the car drifts to one side when you brake, a caliper may be sticking on one wheel.
The process
How the job goes
Listen and ask
Tell us what you hear and feel, and when it happens, so we know where to look first.
Inspect every wheel
We measure pad thickness, check rotors and calipers, and look over the lines and fluid.
Explain and quote
We show you the worn parts, lay out the plan and quote the work before we start.
Repair and test
We fit the parts, bleed the system if needed, then road test the car for a firm, straight stop.
In detail
What a brake job can include
Pads and rotors replaced is the most common job, but it is far from the only one.
A seized caliper drags, overheats one wheel and wears the pads down unevenly.
Rubber hoses can swell inside and hold pressure, and steel lines can rust through over time.
Old brake fluid absorbs moisture, so a fluid flush keeps the pedal firm and the system healthy.
We also check the parking brake and read the ABS warning light when it is on.

Questions
Common questions
Is it safe to drive with squealing brakes?
A short squeal is a warning, not an emergency.
Grinding or a soft pedal is different, so stop driving and text us.
Why do brakes wear fast in Utah Valley?
Long downhill canyon grades heat up the pads and rotors, and a loaded trailer adds more heat.
If you are heading up a canyon soon, have the brakes checked before the trip.
The ABS light is on. Is it a brake problem?
It can be a wheel speed sensor, a wiring fault or a real brake issue.
We scan the system and test the sensors to find the actual cause.
