Worn brake pads, spongy pedals, grinding on braking — these are safety issues, not things to put off. For Mountlake Terrace drivers on the I-5 corridor and 236th commute routes, Tom's B&M Auto has been the trusted brake shop on Highway 99 since 1985. We inspect pad thickness, rotor condition, caliper function, and brake fluid moisture before quoting anything. ASE-certified technicians, same-day service most days, 24-month warranty.
We measure pad thickness front and rear, check rotor thickness against minimum spec, test brake fluid moisture content, and inspect caliper slides and hardware. You receive a full photo report on your phone.
We quote pads, rotors, and any hardware together — no calling mid-job with add-ons. The estimate you approve is the final invoice.
Brakes road-tested before you pick up. Every brake repair backed by our 24-month/24,000-mile warranty on parts and labor.
Brake work is the repair most shops use to upsell. We don't. We measure and show you the numbers — pad thickness in millimeters, rotor thickness vs manufacturer minimum, brake fluid moisture percentage. If the rotors are above minimum spec, we say so. If they're marginal, we tell you what to expect and let you decide.
We use premium ceramic pads on most vehicles. They run quieter, last longer, and produce less dust than economy pads. Calipers are inspected for sticking slides every time — a sticking caliper destroys new pads in weeks. Brakes are safety-critical; we don't cut corners on parts.
Quieter, longer-lasting than economy pads. Rotor thickness measured, not guessed.
Wet fluid causes spongy pedals. We test and flush when moisture exceeds 3%.
Most brake jobs completed same day. Call before noon for same-day availability.
Brake repair at Tom's starts with pad thickness measurement, rotor inspection (machined or replaced based on measured spec), caliper slide and piston inspection, hardware lubrication, and brake fluid moisture test. We photograph every step.
