Brakes for European and performance cars
Brakes at Alpine Autowerks are measured, not guessed at. Pads, rotors and lines are checked against specification and remaining life is reported in numbers, so parts are replaced when needed, never before.
From a warning light on a daily driver to a brake package for the track.
Pads measured against their wear limit at every visit, with remaining life reported in numbers.
Rotors measured against their minimum thickness. They do not automatically need replacing with every set of pads.
Changed on its real interval with factory-spec fluid, as part of scheduled factory maintenance.
Brake lines checked against specification at every visit, along with pads and rotors.
Pads, rotors, lines and fluid chosen for your use, because the fastest car in the group should also be the one that stops.
OEM or manufacturer-approved parts that meet or exceed specification, and your invoice shows exactly which.
Remaining life is reported in numbers, with photos, so you can see why a part is or is not being replaced.
If something on the list does not need doing yet, we say so.
Every quote in plain English before a single bolt turns, and nothing added without your yes.
Factory-trained technicians who work on these platforms every day, and a Calgary reputation built on telling owners the truth about their cars.
Most European cars have wear sensors that light a warning on the dash. Squealing, a longer pedal or a pull under braking are also signs. Measuring is the only way to know how much life is left.
No. Rotors are measured against their minimum thickness. We replace parts when needed, never before.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point and can corrode the system from inside. It is changed by time, not by mileage.
OEM or manufacturer-approved parts on scheduled maintenance. For performance use, pads, rotors, lines and fluid are chosen for how you drive.
