Brakes & Suspension Repairs

Your vehicle's braking and suspension systems are essential for safe driving but are often overlooked in regular maintenance. At James Herr & Sons, we thoroughly inspect and assess both systems, offering a complete diagnosis of any immediate needs and future services. If you hear squealing when braking, it may be time for a brake pad replacement, and our team is ready to provide expert care.

Brake Warning Signs

The anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning on your dashboard lights up
the brake pedal is slow to respond or tough to apply pressure
Grinding or constant squealing during braking

If you notice these or other symptoms, it's time to have your brakes checked by our mechanics. We will provide you with a written estimate before any work is done.

Exhaust System Repairs & Maintenance

Your vehicle’s exhaust system plays a crucial role in minimizing noise and limiting harmful emissions. If your car is suddenly louder than usual or you detect an odor when it’s running, it might be time for an exhaust system inspection or a muffler replacement. Reach out to our team today if you notice any of these signs.
