Same‑day brake inspections, pads, rotors & fluid service. Quiet stops, straight tracking, and OEM‑spec torque for safety across Toronto & GTA.
Why Masterdrive? Same‑day availability | Fair pricing | Technician‑level care
Pad/shoe thickness (mm), rotor/drum condition & runout, caliper slides/boots, hoses/lines, brake fluid test, parking brake check, ABS scan, and a road test—documented with clear recommendations.
Most front or rear pad/rotor services take 60–120 minutes. Add time for seized hardware, EPB reset, or caliper replacement. We offer same-day service when you book early.
Squealing or grinding, soft/low pedal, vibration when braking, longer stopping distances, burning smell, pulling to one side, or an ABS/brake warning light.
Often yes. If rotors are below minimum thickness, have excessive runout/thickness variation, or heat damage, we replace. If within spec, we may resurface (on-car) and re-use—your tech will measure and show you.
Ceramic: quieter, low dust, smooth feel. Semi-metallic: stronger cold bite and heat tolerance (towing/performance). We match pad compound to your vehicle and driving style.
Fresh pads need proper bed-in. Temporary noise can occur until transfer layer forms. We use quality shims, apply correct anti-squeal compounds, and provide bed-in guidance to keep things quiet.
Usually rotor thickness variation or runout, sometimes hub rust or uneven lug torque. We clean hub faces, torque to spec, and measure rotors to fix the root cause.
Could be air in the system, old/contaminated brake fluid, leaking lines, a failing master cylinder, or a flexing hose. We pressure/visual test and bleed or repair as needed.
Every 2 years (or ~40–60k km) is a good rule. Brake fluid absorbs moisture, lowering boiling point and corroding internals. We test moisture content and use the correct DOT 3/4/5.1 (never silicone DOT 5 for ABS).
Yes. We use factory-level scan tools to retract/calibrate EPB modules during pad/rotor service and reset service indicators.
Absolutely. We scan for wheel-speed sensor, tone ring, hydraulic modulator, or wiring faults and provide a clear repair plan.
Yes—inspection, adjustment, hardware/spring kits, and shoe/drum replacement when worn or out of round.
Vehicle pulls, wheel extra hot, burning smell, uneven pad wear, poor fuel economy. We free/replace slides, rebuild/replace calipers, and correct the cause.
Describe the issue, vehicle, and timing; we’ll schedule in-shop or mobile same day.
