Our Brake Service Commitment - Gaithersburg, MD

Our promise to you:

Our ASE certified technicians will inspect your brake system. We will let you know exactly what needs servicing or repair. We do this because you deserve clarity and we want to fix it right the first time.

You will receive our digital courtesy inspection which includes measurements and pictures for all recommendations as well as clear animated short videos. We will go over it with you to explain and show you why you would need to service pads or shoes, rotors, calipers or brake fluid or other components.

All the parts we use meet or exceed your vehicle’s Original Equipment (OE) standards. After many years of doing this, we have a very good idea which parts we would consider putting on your car – we have established the best suited line of pads, shoes, rotors and calipers we would consider putting on your vehicle. As I like to say here at the shop, only offer our customers the parts you would put on your loved ones’ vehicles.

We will give you a competitive quote and it will not change from the time you approve the work to the time you pay.

The Brake Service Process at Winkler Automotive - Gaithersburg, MD

What you probably already know about brake repairs:

Brake repairs are among the most crucial services for any vehicle. Typically, you should expect to service your brakes every 30,000 to 40,000 miles, though sometimes sooner. In Gaithersburg, MD, many service centers, dealerships included, advertise brake services by resorting to marketing tactics like “bait-and-switch” over ensuring your brake system meets your vehicle's precise needs. They lure you in with seemingly attractive offers, only to inflate the repair estimate after inspecting your car. We simply do not abide by this approach – we don’t play games nor promote gimmicks at the expense of your vehicle’s needs and your safety.

Why do we feel it’s important to be transparent with you from the onset?

No two vehicles’ brake systems service needs are alike. One may need new brake pads, while the other may need brake pads and a brake fluid replacement. And you’d only know after a thorough inspection. We understand that each vehicle is its own story and has its own needs, and it is our job and responsibility to recommend exactly what is needed, and price it accordingly.
