Comprehensive Brake Repair Services
We provide a full range of brake repair services to ensure your vehicle performs at its best. Our services include:
Anti-Lock Brake System
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) ensures your wheels keep rotating during braking, preventing skidding and providing better control. If your ABS light illuminates, visit Norris' Garage for a diagnosis and professional repair.
Brake Fluid Flushes
Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air over time, diminishing brake effectiveness and becoming corrosive, potentially harming the system. Regular brake fluid flushes are vital to ensure fresh fluid usage in your vehicle. Consult our technicians at Norris' Garage to determine the right time for a brake fluid flush.
Brake Hoses
A brake hose carries pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A damaged hose can lead to delayed or weak braking, and a leak may result in brake failure. While the need for a replacement brake hose isn't common, any signs of cracking or wear should prompt immediate replacement.
Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement
Squealing brakes often indicate brake pad issues. When brake pads deteriorate completely, a harsh metal-on-metal grinding noise occurs during braking, indicating potential rotor or drum damage. Although experienced individuals may attempt home repairs, if you have brake concerns, it's best to consult an auto repair professional promptly.
Caliper Replacement
The brake caliper houses brake pads and clamps around the rotor to apply pressure during braking. Caliper problems can cause uneven braking, leading to skidding during braking and loss of control in adverse weather conditions. Contact Norris' Garage in Forest Heights at your earliest convenience for assistance.
Resurface Rotors
In a disc brake system, rotors attach to your vehicle's wheels. The friction with brake pads over time creates grooves and cracks. The process of resurfacing restores rotors to a "like-new" condition, reducing noise and wobbling. At Norris' Garage, we inspect your rotors thoroughly and recommend the best course of action.

Brake FAQs
Learn about some of the common questions you may have:
Why are my brakes making a grinding noise?
A grinding sound from your brakes often signals that they're severely worn and require immediate attention. This noise typically means the brake pads have worn down to the rotors.
Why are my brakes squeaking?
Squeaking brakes can result from small stones or debris caught in the pads, or it may indicate that the pads are wearing thin. It's a sign that your brakes might need inspection or replacement.
Why are my brakes making a burning smell?
A burning smell from your brakes can occur if they overheat from excessive use. If you notice a chemical odor or smoke, pull over safely and allow the brakes to cool to avoid further damage.
Why are my brakes vibrating?
Vibration when braking usually points to an issue with uneven rotor surfaces. Over time, rotors can wear unevenly, causing vibrations through the steering wheel when you apply the brakes.
What are the 3 signs that brake pads are worn?
Common signs of worn brake pads include squeaking noises, grinding sounds, and the brake warning light illuminating on your dashboard.

OUR REVIEWS
Stephen Sheppard, 01/25/2025Highly recommend Norris' Garage - They provided exceptional service, thorough and expert work, and their communication is absolutely top notch. I recently had my 302 engine replaced with a Jasper engine at Norris Garage, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, their service was exceptional. The team demonstrated outstanding professionalism and expertise, ensuring everything was done right. Additionally, they provided extra care to my Bronco that I was not expecting. For example, the dash light indicators on my bronco had fallen behind the instrument panel (because it's an old truck), and the mechanics at Norris garage fished around the back of the instrument panel to find the small light indicators and glued them back into place - this is just one example of many of how they went beyond expectations to ensure that I was taken care of as a customer. Communication was top-notch throughout the entire process. They kept me informed every step of the way, answering all my questions and providing updates on the progress. Their transparency and customer service set them apart. I highly recommend Norris Garage to anyone in need of automotive services. Whether it’s a major engine replacement or routine maintenance, they go above and beyond to deliver quality work. I’ll definitely be returning for future automotive needs!
