They found a tiny leak in my radiator that has been causing overheating issues for a while after another shop couldn’t find it. They also diagnosed an oil leak at the same time and repaired both within the day. Matt was able to clearly explain what was wrong and Addison kept me updated the whole time

I had an electrical issue on my navara that caused my break lights to stop working and some traction lights to come on.. Matt and Addison were happy to take a look at it straight away being that it’s not safe to not have my break lights. They were patient and explained everything in a way I could understand! Will definitely be coming back for my regular services and other needs.

Frequently asked questions

Performance brakes offer improved stopping power, pedal feel, and fade resistance. They use upgraded pads, rotors, and fluid to handle more heat and deliver consistent braking under load.

Absolutely — if you drive spiritedly, have increased power, or want more confidence under braking, performance brakes can significantly improve your daily driving experience.

Pads are a simple upgrade for better bite and less fade. Full kits include pads, rotors, fluid, and lines — giving you a complete performance brake setup with maximum results.

We help you select pad compounds based on your use. Some high-performance pads may produce more noise or dust, but we offer quieter options for street use too.

Yes. Many upgrades work with factory calipers. We also offer full kits with multi-piston calipers for more advanced builds or track applications.

In most cases, yes — especially under repeated or emergency braking. Performance brakes maintain consistent pressure and grip, even under heat.

Definitely. We use premium DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 fluids that resist boiling and maintain pedal feel in hard driving conditions.

Both have benefits. Slotted rotors are great for heavy use and track driving. Drilled rotors offer weight reduction and aesthetics. We’ll recommend what suits your needs.

No. All upgrades are fully compatible with ABS, traction, and stability systems. They enhance safety, not compromise it.

We work with Brembo, EBC, Hawk, Project Mu, Pagid, StopTech, and other trusted brands — matched to your platform and performance goals.
