A Brake Shop That Comes To You
Wes Lundy spent eleven years on the brake bay at a Dayton dealership. Most of those jobs took ninety minutes of work and a whole day of the customer's time, so he put the jack, the parts and the tools in a van and started going to the car instead. We only do brakes, so we carry pads and rotors for most cars, SUVs and pickups and finish most jobs on the first visit.
- ✓Brakes only, nothing else
- ✓Old parts shown to you

Stopping Straight Again
My brakes started grinding on the way home from work. Lundy came to my driveway the next morning, showed me the worn pads and the scored rotors, gave me one price and had both front wheels back on before my kids were up.
The dealer quoted me for pads, rotors and calipers. Lundy measured everything in my office parking lot and said the calipers were fine. Saved me a few hundred dollars and a day without the car.
Soft pedal on my pickup. They found a rusted brake line, replaced it, bled the system and test-drove it around the block with me in the passenger seat.
Mobile Brake Repair FAQ
How much does mobile brake repair cost?
Pads on one axle start at $179 and pads with rotors start at $289, including the trip, parts and labor. Pickups, larger SUVs and performance brakes cost more. We confirm your exact price before we start.
Is it safe to do brakes in a driveway?
Yes. A brake job needs a jack, stands, the right tools and flat, paved ground, and we bring everything but the ground. Every job ends with the wheels torqued to spec and a test drive.
Do I need new rotors every time?
No. We measure your rotors on every job. If they're above the minimum thickness and not warped or scored, we leave them alone and you only pay for pads.
How long does it take?
Pads and rotors on one axle take about 90 minutes. Both axles, calipers or brake lines take longer, and we'll tell you how long when we quote.
Can you come to my work?
Yes, as long as the lot allows it. Leave us the keys or meet us at the car, and we'll text you when it's done.
Is there a warranty?
Our parts and labor carry a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty. If something we installed fails, we come back to you.
