Professional Fleet Auto Repair can perform all of your brake repair needs, from simple annual brake inspections, cleaning and adjusting brakes to the repair of brake lines and brake hoses, brake pads and brake shoes, brake rotor and brake drum repair, brake wheel cylinder and brake caliper repair, master cylinder and brake booster repairs, wheel bearings, and the complicated diagnosis of Anti Lock Brake and Traction Control Systems.
Professional Fleet recommends that your automotive brakes system is inspected annually for wear and performance.
Road conditions such as rain, sleet and snow will also test the performance of your auto brake system.
This is also when the quality of parts used to repair you brakes and the performance of your brake system is tested.
Most cars, trucks and vans built from 1998 to present require the use of ceramic brake pads or organic brake pads. The use of any other brake pad material will result in brake squeaks, brake squeals, severe brake dust, wheel discoloration and the premature failure of your brake system.
BRAKES SHOULD NEVER SQUEAK AFTER REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE CORRECTLY. Brake squeak and brake squeal is caused by incorrect brake adjustment, low quality brake parts, low brake pressure, or incorrect brake repairs.
Correct brake repair and replacement of your brake pads and/or brake shoes should last 3-5 years and 30k-50k miles. If your brakes wear out sooner something is wrong. Squeaks and squeals can be an indicator of brake problems.
The correct procedure to repair brake pads and brake rotors on most vehicles:
1) Test drive vehicle and check for brake squeaks, brake squeals, brake pulsation, brake grinding, brake pulls, low brake pedal and incorrect brake adjustment
2) Remove all wheels for complete inspection of brake system
3) Scan for ABS or TRACTION control system codes
4) Remove all parts being replaced for closer inspection and evaluation
5) Clean and adjust brake system
6) Lubricate all moving parts and attaching points
7) Check brake fluid for discoloration, contamination and signs of moisture
8) Flush brake fluid and bleed brakes if needed
9) Test drive vehicle and verify all brake repairs were made correctly
10) Brakes should never squeak after brake repairs are performed

"I had taken my car to another mechanic when it was running incredibly rough. The other mechanic told me the #4 cylinder had no compression and that I had either a blown head gasket or a cracked head. Because I wasn't able to afford the $1000 or so it would cost, I decided to tear it apart myself. After not finding a blown head gasket or cracked head, I put it back together and took it to Professional Fleet Brake Repair. Within 2 minutes, with the car still on the trailer, Aaron diagnosed the problem as a bad distributor coil on the #2 & 3 cylinders. After another 20 minutes and $73 my car was up and running perfectly fine. Aaron even showed me where a couple stray bolts I had forgotten after putting things together."

http://www.winzelerwebdesign.com/"An honest mechanic? They really do exist! The first time I took my car in, Sam, the owner of Professional Fleet Brake Repair admitted that he wasn't exactly sure what was wrong with my car. He tried tweaking the timing, to see if that would fix the problem I was having and did not charge me a penny for it. I did have to return my car again and they did eventually find the problem, but he didn't charge me until the problem was actually fixed. They will also drive you home or to work should you need a lift. They are honest and hardworking and won't hesitate to tell you that you can get your oil changed somewhere else for less."
