Brake services we perform
Brake inspection
We check pad thickness, rotor condition, calipers, hoses and fluid, then tell you what needs attention now and what can wait.
Brake pad replacement
Pads are designed to wear. When the lining gets thin, we replace them with Nissan pads matched to your vehicle.
Rotor service and replacement
Warped or worn rotors cause vibration and noise. We resurface rotors when possible and replace them when they're past their limit.
Brake fluid exchange
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which reduces braking performance. Your Nissan maintenance schedule lists when to replace it.
Caliper service
Calipers press the pads against the rotors. We clean, lubricate, inspect and replace them as needed.
Brake questions
How often should Nissan brakes be checked?
Have them inspected at your regular maintenance visits, and right away if you notice any of the signs above. How long pads last depends on your model and how you drive; stop-and-go traffic wears them faster.
Is there a brake recall on my Nissan?
Some 2025 Pathfinder and Murano models are covered by a front brake caliper recall (NHTSA 25V173). Check your VIN on our recall page. Recall repairs are free.
Can I get my brakes done the same day?
Book online or call service at (301) 867-7280, and we'll confirm timing and parts when you schedule.
