How Our Process Works

Your brake inspection begins with a comprehensive visual and functional assessment that checks pad wear, rotor thickness, caliper operation, and fluid condition. The technician measures remaining pad material, inspects rotors for warping or scoring, and tests brake response to identify any loss of pressure or uneven braking. In Missoula, where steep roads increase brake load and winter conditions demand consistent grip, this thorough approach ensures nothing is missed.

Auto Assist Co. uses industry-proven techniques to ensure fit, function, and long-term reliability of every brake component. Machining experience supports precise rotor resurfacing when appropriate, extending component life without compromising safety. You receive straightforward recommendations based solely on actual wear and safety standards, with clear explanations of why each repair matters for confident, controlled stopping.

Once approved, brake repairs proceed with attention to torque specifications, proper bedding procedures, and post-repair testing. Whether you need pad replacement, rotor machining, caliper rebuilds, or full system overhauls, the work meets factory standards and prepares your vehicle for Montana's demanding roads and traffic patterns throughout the year.

How do I know if I need new rotors or just pads?
Rotors are measured for thickness and inspected for warping or scoring. If they meet minimum thickness standards and show no damage, resurfacing may extend their life. If not, replacement is recommended.
