The vehicle's braking performance was restored, providing the owner with improved safety and peace of mind.
Brake pads that reach 4mm should be replaced soon to avoid rotor damage. Replacing them promptly can prevent more costly repairs down the line.

The vehicle owner reported that the brakes did not feel smooth when applied.
The technician found that the brake pads were worn, affecting the smoothness of braking.
The team replaced the brake pads and performed a wheel hub and bearing assembly replacement. They also calibrated the electronic pump and refreshed the brake fluid using a BG fluid kit.
After the service, the vehicle's braking performance was restored to a smooth and reliable state.
If your brakes feel unsmooth or vibrate when applied, it may be time to replace the brake pads. Addressing this early can prevent more costly repairs to the rotors and other components.

Brake wear notifications are an early warning. Replacing pads and rotors promptly can prevent more costly repairs like caliper or master cylinder damage.

The vehicle owner reported that their brakes were squeaking, even though they had recently had brake work completed at another shop.
The technician noted that further testing might be needed to provide a complete answer to the brake squeaking issue.
The team at our Haines City shop proceeded with removing and replacing the brake pads. This service was performed to address the squeaking noise experienced by the vehicle owner.
After replacing the brake pads, the squeaking noise was resolved, restoring quiet and effective braking for the vehicle owner.
Brake pads that squeak shortly after service may need reinspection. If noise persists, replacing the pads again can often solve the issue and prevent further rotor damage.
Eddie was a great mechanic and did an excellent job on my car. He was professional, knowledgeable, and got my brakes done quickly. I really appreciate the quality of his work and would definitely recommend Eddie and Johnny’s automotive to anyone looking for a reliable mechanic or shop!!

Wonderful experience. I couldn’t believe they told me to come on down and they would get me in right away. Dealership was out 2 weeks just to look at it. Ended up water pump leaking on my Tahoe. Fair price, fixed the next day! Going back next week for rear brakes. Clean, friendly and fast! Hit on all cylinders - literally. My new place for sure.

Usually my husband is the one that takes our vehicles to be serviced. But on that particular day I had to take it.Going to auto shops gives me anxiety because from experience they bring you a list of “issues”. I needed a service B on my Mercedes GLA350, which later turned into needing new brake pads. They were so throughout and kind during the entire process. By choice, I spent hours in the lobby doing some work on my lap top. They offered a complimentary ride to any place that I wanted to go, even a loaner car if I decided to go home. The lobby was actually calm with plenty of snacks and refreshments. The gentleman that ran the front of the counter were extremely nice and respectful. Once the car was complete, I had 4 purple roses on my dashboard (This was right before Mother’s Day weekend) Such a kind gesture! My family will be using their services in the future. I’m recommending them to everyone :)

Add called about a light for my left brake that was flashing and showing up the sign of not working. I was told by Pep Boys that I was wiring they couldn’t do it so I called Johnny’s automotive. They got me in right away same day and I was on my way and it was something so simple. I really appreciate the service the time they spent and the professionalism that was presented to me on that day of service. They have a fantastic team doing a wonderful job. I would definitely go back for anything. I keep their card with me at home so please visit them. They are great. They will take care of you.

While staying in Frostproof, Johnny's opened up here. I needed an oil change and filter, and they completed that service along with a maintenance check. They made some recommendations, but didn't pressure me to have the work performed. Thankfully, the recommendations were for scheduled maintenance such as brakes and filters. They are so friendly and helpful, (especially Sarah who greets you with the greatest smile!), have provided the residents of Frostproof with a reliable and honest service. Thank you!

Mileage isn't a reliable answer, which is why we won't give you one. A truck that tows and a car that spends its life on the highway can come in the same week with completely opposite wear. What matters is the measurement, and we check pad thickness at all four corners on every visit so you can watch it come down over time instead of finding out from a noise.
No. Rotors are a thickness and condition call, not an automatic add-on. If there's enough material left above the manufacturer's minimum and the surface is even, resurfacing gives the new pads a true face to bed into and the rotor stays on the car. We replace rotors when they're near minimum thickness, deeply grooved, cracked, or heat spotted, and we show you the measurement either way.
Some noise in the first few hundred miles is normal while fresh pads bed in and transfer an even layer of material to the rotor. A light squeal on the first stop of a humid morning is usually surface rust burning off the rotor face, and it clears in a stop or two. What isn't normal is a squeal that's still there weeks later, or any grinding. Bring it back and we'll pull the wheels and look.
Mostly four things: which axle needs the work, whether it's pads only or pads and rotors, whether the rotors can be resurfaced or need replacing, and what the vehicle takes (some newer cars need a scan tool to retract an electronic parking brake before the pads come out). Calipers and hoses only get added when they're actually failed. That's why the inspection comes first: we measure, send you the photos, and give you a number to approve before anything gets touched.
Grinding usually means the friction material is gone and the pad backing is riding on the rotor. The car will still stop, but it takes longer, and every stop is cutting the rotor deeper, which turns a pad replacement into pads and rotors. It's worth getting in soon rather than driving on it for another month.
