The stopping force of your brakes is 10 times as powerful as the force that puts the car in motion. Brake pads, shoes, drums and rotors wear down even under normal driving conditions. Pay attention if your brake warning light is on and listen for squeaking, clunking, or grinding. Other warning signs of failing brakes:
- Your vehicle pulls to one side
- Your brakes pulse when you step on the brake pedal
- The distance required to stop your car is increasing
Inland Empire and Orange County residents rely on McTier Import Repair as their brake specialist. We use only very high quality brake pads and parts, in some cases only OEM parts that are far superior to any aftermarket brand. But there is much more to a thorough brake job than just replacing brake pads or shoes.

Nissan and Infiniti door detent mechanisms (a.k.a. door check straps) are poorly designed. The doors like to close on your legs when you're trying to get in and out of the car. A new part is $80.00 and must be purchased from the dealer. I have devised a modification or fix for the problem.
