Mobile brake repair in Stittsville
Pads, rotors, calipers and the lines between them, done on your driveway while the car sits where it already is. We come to you in Stittsville, weeknights from 5pm and all day Saturday and Sunday, so the car is fixed without a day off work.
Why people call
What people describe when they ring about this
You do not have to know what the part is called. These are the words people actually use, and any one of them is enough to book on.
- A grinding or scraping that gets worse the harder you press
- A squeal at low speed that goes when you brake harder
- A pedal that goes soft, or one that sinks while you sit at a light
- The car pulling to one side under braking
- A shudder through the wheel from about 80 down
Stittsville, specifically
What we see on this job in Stittsville
Stittsville brake calls run to a pattern: a car that is driven to Kanata and back on weekdays and sits on a driveway the rest of the time. Sitting is the part that matters. Rotors surface-rust in a week of not moving, and the first few stops of the morning grind and then stop grinding. That is rust coming off, and it is not a fault. What is worth looking at is the caliper sliders, because the same standing still is what seizes them, and a seized slider wears one pad to nothing while the other looks new.
On the truck
What turns up on your driveway
- Pads and rotors for most common vehicles, carried or collected the same day
- A press for seized caliper pistons, and the tools for a slider that has rusted in
- Brake fluid, and the kit to bleed the system properly instead of topping it up
- Both axles measured and the readings written down, whichever one you called about.
How long it takes. Pads and rotors on one axle is usually an hour and a half to two hours.
What we will not do on a driveway. A brake line that has rusted through along its length, or a master cylinder that has to come out through the bulkhead. Both are shop jobs, and we will tell you in the driveway before we start, so the car is never left in pieces halfway through.
Where the car can be
Parking in Stittsville
Stittsville is mostly newer subdivisions with real driveways, which is close to ideal: the car is on level asphalt at the address it lives at, and there is room to work beside it. Main Street and the older village end can be tighter, and where it is we will work from the street and leave the car where it is.
Areas we are in most weeks: Fernbank Crossing, Jackson Trails, Amberwood, Bradley Commons, Stittsville Main.
What it costs
Priced after somebody has looked at it
There is no price on this page on purpose. A brake job depends on the vehicle, the parts it takes and what is found once a wheel is off, and a number written here would either be wrong or be something you have to argue about in a driveway.
You get the cost of the work and the travel together, before anything is booked, and nothing is charged until you have said yes. The travel band for every postal code we serve is on the service-area page.
What people say
“These two ABSOLUTE LEGENDS have taken over maintenance for both of our vehicles at home. Not only is their work top notch (my car drives so smooth now!), but they take the time to explain things at your level, meeting you wherever you're at as far as understanding of your vehicle, how it works, where it breaks and why it needs what it needs. They diagnosed and fixed an issue that the dealership has had the vehicle in multiple times for and did not properly fix. The icing on the cake is their customer service and flexibility. I'll be sending work their way for a long time yet.”Scott M · October 2025
“I honestly wish I could give these guys a higher rating than 5 stars. They were super quick to get a hold of and were just as fast to arrive. Had my belt changed at a super reasonable price. Would highly recommend !”GurfMcGurf · September 2025
