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 Avus Autosport 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 Avus Autosport 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 Avus Autosport in Glendale 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 Avus Autosport, 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?
A grinding sound from your brakes often signals that they're severely worn and require immediate attention. This noise typically means the brake pads have worn down to the rotors.
Why are my brakes squeaking?
Squeaking brakes can result from small stones or debris caught in the pads, or it may indicate that the pads are wearing thin. It's a sign that your brakes might need inspection or replacement.
Why are my brakes making a burning smell?
A burning smell from your brakes can occur if they overheat from excessive use. If you notice a chemical odor or smoke, pull over safely and allow the brakes to cool to avoid further damage.
Why are my brakes vibrating?
Vibration when braking usually points to an issue with uneven rotor surfaces. Over time, rotors can wear unevenly, causing vibrations through the steering wheel when you apply the brakes.
What are the 3 signs that brake pads are worn?
Common signs of worn brake pads include squeaking noises, grinding sounds, and the brake warning light illuminating on your dashboard.

Avus Autosport & Sandro Parra – Honest, Skilled, and Truly Caring I've been bringing my Mini Cooper to Avus Autosport ever since the warranty expired, and they're the best shop I've ever worked with. The space is spotless — you could probably eat off the floor — and everyone there is professional and kind. Sandro Parra deserves special mention. His bedside manner when delivering repair news is incredible. He always explains what's happening clearly, never oversells, and makes even big repairs more straightforward to handle. He looks for ways to save me money — for example, if my car didn't need a whole bottle of coolant, he'd only charge for what was used. That kind of transparency is rare, and I appreciate it more than I can say. Once, I even had rats chew through my engine mount and spark plug covers (yes, really!). Sandro handled it with humor and care, getting me safely back on the road. After 18 great years, I've finally retired my 2007 Mini and bought a new one — but I already know this will be my go-to shop again once the warranty runs out. If you own a Mini, BMW, or any car you love and want it treated right, Avus Autosport is the place to go. They've earned my complete trust. 🚗💛
Absolutely warped my rotors in the canyons on my e46 m3. They were able to get me in the next day to do a break upgrade even as a first time customer! Since then they have done my oil services. Custom tips on my exhaust etc... thank you guys
