I was in the area and was tired of listening to the noise coming from my brakes after another company had worked on them previously, so I visited the Brake Specialists at 8405 Research Blvd. I met Billy the manager at this location and he was very friendly and helpful. They did a free brake inspection on my vehicle and determined that the previous shop had installed Autozone Duralast pads on my vehicle and they didn't do a good job on machining my rotors. They recommended a Napa brake pad called Adaptive One which supposedly has a noise free guarantee on it. I was willing to give them a try. I will start off by saying that a brake job with Brake Specialists is a little more expensive than getting your brakes done by a national chain like Midas, Meineke or Just Brakes, but they use better parts than their competition by far. They also had better equipment available to do the brake repairs and the tech they had doing my brakes has over 20 years experience which was very comforting (I think his name is Karry). They machined my rotors with an on-car brake lathe that actually attaches to the vehicle to machine the rotors (it was pretty cool and they let me watch it in action). The rotor surface looked great after the lathe was done. I happily paid the extra money for the good pads and I have had virtually no noise from my brakes in over a month now. I am a very satisfied customer and I will be back to have them do some scheduled maintenance for me. Thanks Billy!
