We Analyze Your Entire Brake System
Unlike other repair shops that only focus on your brake’s discs, drums, brake pads, and cylinders, at Henise Tire, our service technicians and mechanics look at the entire brake system. We understand the complexity of your vehicle’s brake system, its hydraulics, and how everything is connected from the moment you apply pressure to your brake pedal.
Your vehicle’s entire brake system is a combination of multiple interconnected components all working to ensure your truck, SUV or sedan stops on time. In most cars and sedans, it is the front brake pads that wear out faster than the rear brake pads. This is because your car’s front brakes must support more of your car’s weight when stopping.
For heavy-duty pickups, it is common for the rear brake pads to wear out faster than the front, largely due to the amount of weight in your pickup’s bed or rear of the truck. This is why we focus on the entire brake system and look for telltale signs that indicate other potential problems.
We Isolate the Root Cause of Brake Problems
Yes, Henise Tire can fix your brakes. We can immediately determine if the caliper is fractured, replace the backplate, and whether any bearings or wheel studs are damaged, bent, out of alignment, or worn out. We can change the disc brake if it is worn, in addition to changing the disc pads. We can ensure all your brake hardware, cables, and springs are not overly corroded, that springs still provide good tension, and replace hardware that is worn out.
At Henise Tire, we have performed these types of repairs on countless makes and models of trucks, SUVs, luxury vehicles, sedans, hatchbacks, and electric vehicles. However, it is exactly because of our ability to assess your vehicle’s entire brake system and hydraulic system that we’re able to ensure a permanent fix to any potential problems in other portions of your vehicle’s brake assembly.
- Inspect and replace calipers
- Change brake pads and backplate

Our Comprehensive Brake Assembly Repair Solution
The importance of providing a complete and extensive brake repair solution is critical to all our Henise Tire customers. If all you need is your pads replaced – then no problem. However, by keeping a keen eye out for other potential issues, our service technicians and experienced mechanics can ensure your entire brake system is functioning as it should.
When you apply pressure to your brake pedal, your vehicle’s hydraulic system pumps hydraulic fluid from a holding reservoir. This fluid is highly pressurized and travels instantaneously through four separate channels which are connected to all four of your brakes/wheels.
Once the fluid arrives at your brakes, it is controlled by two separate cylinders that work in unison to ensure your calipers force your brake pads to rub up against your brake discs. It is the friction created by the pressing of your brake pads against the discs that force your vehicle to stop.
Other Potential Causes of Brake Problems
While it is natural to always think your brake pads or calipers are the problem, it could be caused by poor hydraulic pressure. Issues with the reservoir or even tears or rips in your vehicle’s brake lines and hoses could cause the pressure to drop, thereby reducing the effectiveness of your brakes.
If you find that you are pressing down hard on your brake pedal, but you don’t feel the brakes responding as well as they should, it could point to issues with the pressure. Other potential warning signs can include loud screeches when braking or having a car or truck that sways to one side when applying your brakes.
- Tears or rips in brake lines
- Lack of hydraulic pressure
- Poor brake pressure
- Loud screeching when braking
- A vehicle that sways or pulls to one side
