Not only was this an expensive brake repair, it is clear that this vehicle had been driven for quite a while with very unsafe brakes.

It is very important that your vehicle has a brake inspection during routine services.

BTW, if you look closely you can see that the brake rotor is broken from the center hub!

Vehicle Service Information Page

Servicing your vehicle with the proper parts,  procedures and experienced service personnel at regular intervals definitely extends the life of your automobile, (And lowers the "Total Cost of Ownership"). Taking your vehicle to a quick lube service facility may be OK, but there are many items that are simply not inspected at the quick lube centers. 

The most important item - Your Brakes!


When was the last time the brakes were inspected? We provide a "Free" Brake Inspection every other oil change service. You won't receive this service at a quick lube center. In fact we hear that some centers forbid service personnel from removing and properly inspecting brake fluid. Brake fluid is Hygroscopic, therefore moisture content tests should be performed periodically. We test the brake fluid at every oil change service using a refractometer. Most high end European vehicles required brake fluid change intervals of every 2 years. We recommend this for all vehicles.

This is a real money saver in the long run!

Wouldn't you rather pay for a brake service that did not require new brake rotors? Replacement of rotors and other costly components are usually caused by the consumer bringing attention to the brakes when they start making noise. Often times this is too late!

Extended Warranties

Did you know that Connie & Dick's honors most extended warranties? The extended warranties offered to you when you purchase your new car or truck can come in handy when the vehicle manufacturer's warranty expires. We can provide the repairs covered under your extended warranty. We work with all the leading warranty companies. Also when you are about to purchase an extended warranty why not give us a call and ask for advise on that warranty. Some warranty contracts do a good job of covering everything but some, unfortunately, do not!

Note: There are many companies now advertising extended warranty packages for your older vehicle. Please feel free to have us review the policy if you are seriously considering purchasing such agreements.

The following news story unveils what their recent investigations found out about these companies!
