BRAKES & BRAKE REPAIR

A vehicle's brakes are one of its most important safety features, and we want to make sure that Kurt's Imported Auto Repair customers stay safe. Whether your brake pads are signaling they need replacement, your brake light is on, or you're not comfortable with how quickly your vehicle is slowing down, call us at 505-473-4508 or visit us in Santa Fe and we'll give you a prompt diagnosis of your braking system's safety and reliability.

Anti-Lock Brake System
Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) ensure that the wheels don't stop rotating during braking, preventing the car from skidding and offering greater control. If your ABS light comes on, visit Kurt's Imported Auto Repair where we will be happy to diagnose and fix the problem.

Brake Fluid Flushes
Brake fluid will absorb water from the air over time, causing the brake system to become less effective and the fluid to become corrosive, possibly damaging the system. It is important to perform a brake fluid flush regularly to ensure that your vehicle is using fresh fluid. Talk to our technicians at Kurt's Imported Auto Repair about when it's time for a brake fluid flush.

Brake Hoses
A brake hose is a tube carrying pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A crushed hose can cause a lagged or slow brake, and a leak in the hose can cause the brake, or the entire brake system, to fail. These don't need to be replaced often, but should be replaced at the first sign of cracking or wear.

Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement
Brake pad problems can usually be identified by squealing brakes. If your brake pads deteriorate completely, you'll hear a grinding metal-on-metal sound when braking, meaning that it's too late and you're ruining your rotors or drums! Those with knowledge of auto repair may be able to fix this at home, but you should always see an auto repair professional immediately if you have brake problems.

Caliper Replacement
The brake caliper houses your brake pads and fits around the rotor like a clamp, pressing the pads against the rotor when you brake. A brake caliper problem could cause uneven braking, making your car slide forward when you brake. Uneven braking can also cause your vehicle to slide out of control in bad weather conditions, so contact Kurt's Imported Auto Repair as soon as possible.

Resurface Rotors
In a disc brake system, rotors are attached to your vehicle's wheels. When the brake pads grip the rotor, they bring both the rotor and wheels to a stop. However, the friction causes grooves and cracks to appear over time. Resurfacing brings the rotor back to a "like-new" condition, reducing squealing and wobbling. Kurt's Imported Auto Repair will give your rotors a thorough inspection and recommend your best course of action.

TESTIMONIALS

Friendly, highly skilled, professional, owner-operated, honest; everything you want in a business.
Kurt is a wonderful person & mechanic! He has very fair prices, does a great job, and is great at communicating. I will always bring my volvo there.
Kurt is a gem. Truly one of those people who is a benefit to the local community. If you own a Volvo, especially an older model, Kurt is your guy. He is invaluable in his knowledge, commitment to quality, and competence with any work your car may require. I took my classic Volvo to him on two occasions, and he went beyond the boundaries of what was originally specified for the work needed. He was able to identify key items that needed attention (not trolling for dollars - real things) and took care of them at the highest level of quality. Because of Kurt's attention to detail and diligence, my classic Volvo operates as new. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
One of the most straight forward and clear communicating mechanics I have had the pleasure of working with.
Clean and very helpful, specializes in Volvo repairs. Great communication and gets your car back on the road safely.
Wonderful place! Kurt, the new owner, is very knowledgeable and will tell you exactly what your vehicle needs. Highly recommended.
