BRAKES & BRAKE REPAIR


At Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc., we want our Austin customers to have the opportunity to feel comfortable in their vehicle. You can leave the repairs and services to our professionals, but please don't hesitate to ask us questions about why a service is needed or how it occurred. Give us a call at 512-288-0094, and we will be happy to speak with you. Here is some valuable information on brake issues and corrective services Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc. offers.

Anti-Lock Brake System
Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) ensure that the wheels don't stop rotating during braking, preventing the car from skidding and offering greater control. If your ABS light comes on, visit Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc. where we will be happy to diagnose and fix the problem.

Brake Fluid Flushes
Brake fluid will absorb water from the air over time, causing the brake system to become less effective and the fluid to become corrosive, possibly damaging the system. It is important to perform a brake fluid flush regularly to ensure that your vehicle is using fresh fluid. Talk to our technicians at Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc. about when it's time for a brake fluid flush.

Brake Hoses
A brake hose is a tube carrying pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A crushed hose can cause a lagged or slow brake, and a leak in the hose can cause the brake, or the entire brake system, to fail. These don't need to be replaced often, but should be replaced at the first sign of cracking or wear.

Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement
Brake pad problems can usually be identified by squealing brakes. If your brake pads deteriorate completely, you'll hear a grinding metal-on-metal sound when braking, meaning that it's too late and you're ruining your rotors or drums! Those with knowledge of auto repair may be able to fix this at home, but you should always see an auto repair professional immediately if you have brake problems.

Caliper Replacement
The brake caliper houses your brake pads and fits around the rotor like a clamp, pressing the pads against the rotor when you brake. A brake caliper problem could cause uneven braking, making your car slide forward when you brake. Uneven braking can also cause your vehicle to slide out of control in bad weather conditions, so contact Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc. as soon as possible.

Resurface Rotors
In a disc brake system, rotors are attached to your vehicle's wheels. When the brake pads grip the rotor, they bring both the rotor and wheels to a stop. However, the friction causes grooves and cracks to appear over time. Resurfacing brings the rotor back to a "like-new" condition, reducing squealing and wobbling. Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc. will give your rotors a thorough inspection and recommend your best course of action.

Service way above and beyond. They came in on a Sunday to receive my 1930 Buick from the shipper even though they're closed on Sunday. They fixed my car the very next day because it was an "easy" fix and they wanted such a valuable car returned to me expediently. It started right up. The repair seemed a little expensive, but maybe things are just more expensive in Austin. Next, they drove me back from the storage facility. Then they helped me lift a heavy load. See what I mean about above and beyond? I'd recommend them with your beloved vehicle too.

Really too notch place for your vintage vehicle. Family-owned from forever ago, and stocked with ace gearheads who love to breathe life into old things. Took my 1972 Ranger there and got a thorough and honest assessment of my needs, along with straight up pricing. When I went to pick it up, Steve walked me through what he had done and gave me a primer on how to love and care for the truck. Essentially he schooled this newbie on stuff like manual chokes and carburetors and exactly how amazing the thing I bought actually was. The very best option around Austin for bringing a classic back to life.

My girlfriend suggested that I take my 2001 Ford Expedition to Jerry Dixon's and I have never been happier about anyplace that has ever worked on any of my cars, ever... If I could give them 10 stars, I would.
