Brake & Suspension Services in Richmond Hill
Brake repair and service plus suspension repair to help your vehicle stop safely, ride smoothly and handle the way it should.
Two Systems Your Safety Depends On
Your brakes and suspension work together every time you slow down, turn or drive over a rough road. When brake parts wear out or suspension components loosen, stopping distances can increase, steering can feel vague and tires can wear unevenly.
At 404 Auto Repair in Richmond Hill, we inspect both systems, explain what we find and recommend the repairs your vehicle needs. Because suspension problems often show up as tire wear, we can also help with tire repair, balancing and installation while your vehicle is in the shop.

Brake & Suspension Questions
How do I know if my brake pads need replacing?
Common signs include squealing or grinding noises, a longer stopping distance, a pulsing pedal or a brake warning light. The best way to know is a brake inspection, which shows how much pad material is left and the condition of your rotors.
Can worn suspension parts damage my tires?
Yes. Worn shocks, struts or steering and suspension components can cause uneven tire wear. If your tires are wearing unevenly, have the suspension checked along with the tires.
Do you repair brakes and suspension on commercial vans?
Yes. We work on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit and Chevrolet Express vans. See our Commercial Van Repair page for details.
Should I drive if my brakes are grinding?
Grinding often means brake parts are worn down and metal may be contacting metal. Limit driving and book an inspection as soon as possible.
