Brakes - Replacement & Repair Lakewood

When you need to replace your brakes in Lakewood, come to D & S Autocare. Brakes should never be set aside for another day. The Northwest weather can change in a heartbeat.

Coupling windy roads and poor visibility with brakes in need of repair is a recipe for disaster. We want everyone in Lakewood to remain safe on the road. If you suspect a brake problem, or are in need of new brakes in Lakewood, don’t wait to schedule an appointment.

You should always be comfortable, informed about the brake repair process, and feel confident in your Lakewood brake repair.

There are a number of signs your brakes need repair. Some of the most common include:

• Worn Pads – Your brakes use pads for stopping. These pads squeeze on the rotors that are attached to your axle, slowing your vehicle down. Over time these pads and rotors can wear out. Rotors should be visibly smooth. Pads should be at least a 1/4 inch thick. Our brake repair services include replacement, which will greatly improve stopping power and auto safety.
• Squeals – If your brakes are squealing, you’ve likely gone through you pads entirely. This means the calipers are grinding against the rotors. Aside from leaving you with a greatly reduced ability to stop, this can lead to more expensive brake repair in Lakewood.
• Pulling – When you car pulls to one side, you may have an issue with your braking system. If one of your calipers is stuck, and only one brake is actively stopping your vehicle it can cause this problem. A full diagnosis will help determine if this is the case.

Radiator Repair Lakewood

For professional radiator repair in Lakewood, call D & S Autocare. When you need radiator repair, you want it repaired quickly.

Our technicians have diagnosed and repaired radiators in every type of vehicle. It’s particularly crucial that a radiator repair in a performance and work vehicle are done correctly.

A radiator is a vehicles primary means of cooling itself, in these vehicles it can wear out more quickly. We take extreme care with every radiator repair in Lakewood, ensuring that no matter what you drive, it receives the highest level of attention.

There are certain indications you may be suffering from a failing radiator that requires radiator repair in Lakewood. If you encounter any of the following, don’t wait to call:

• Leaking Radiator – If you see any indication of a leak, you shouldn’t put it off. Not only is this fluid toxic to animals and humans alike, it also means your radiator is running low on a vital fluid. Radiator fluid is passed through the engine where it gets hot, and back through the radiator to remove that heat. Without proper fluid your engine may suffer.
• Overheating – It’s important to get a full diagnosis if engine overheating occurs. This is quite often related to the radiator, and repairs or replacement may be necessary if this is the case. If an engine overheats too much it can destroy the engine, but is preventable with timely automotive care.
• Pressure Drops – A corroded radiator doesn’t produce as much pressure at it should. This is easily tested with a pressure gauge by one of our technicians. If there is rust on your radiator it may also be indicative of corrosion or leak. The hot radiator fluid will cause the radiator to rust.

A manual transmission can use a variety of oils or fluids. These should be checked individually. If there is a leak you will often find fluid below the car. Because a transmission doesn’t eat through fluid like an engine does with oil, a leak is a major concern. It can also be determined by filling the fluid to the indicated point and checking it daily for a drop. We can repair your transmission and fix leaks. A burnt smell indicates old and burnt fluid. This should be replaced professionally for the best results.
• Shaking and Grinding – Your cars gears are supposed to operate smoothly. This problem presents itself in a manual with a grinding when shifting, an automatic will often hesitate when engaging or changing gears.
