Brakes need regular inspection.

There are important parts that wear out or wear down on your brake system, and it’s best to have them inspected before you have problems.

There are two types of brake systems.

Disk brakes: a rotor or “disk”, is attached to the axle of the vehicle. Padded calipers straddle the rotor, which close when the brakes are applied. The resulting friction causes the rotor and the axle to stop turning.

Drum Brakes: Brake pads (also called brake shoes) press against the inside of a drum to create friction and stop the drum, and hence wheels, from turning.

Brake System Warning Signs

You know you need brake repair when:

The anti-lock brake system (ABS) or Brake warning indicator comes on in your vehicle.
The brake pedal is spongy or slow to respond.
You hear grinding or constant squealing during braking.
You notice fading to one side or the other when brakes are applied

We recommend you bring your vehicle in for inspection if any of the conditions above occur. It is also a good idea to have your brakes inspects every 6 months to make sure your brake system is functioning properly. We specialize in brake repair services for the Saginaw area and look forward to keeping you safe on the road.

Dear Dale, Brandy, and Ben;

I really appreciate the removal Ben did of the spare tire from underneath my 2008 Uplander. I can now use my spare in case I have a flat. I would have been in a real mess if I would have ever had a flat out on a highway somewhere, and my spare refusing to release from under the van. Thanks again Ben.

If more people would take a look at under the mini vans spare tire periodically, there would be an awfully lot of folks shocked at how rusty and corroded their spare and the underbody carrier mechanism is, particularly here in Michigan. (more…)

I brought my vehicle to Stroebel’s under emergency circumstances and after a quick thorough diagnosis found I only needed a new battery. Dale did point out that I would need a coolant system flush in the near future which I scheduled for the next week. Dale and Brandy were not only professional and helpful but also a pleasure to work with. I won’t hesitate to recommend this business to all my family and friends. Thank you both so much.

Dale and his staff provide top-notch customer service as well as competent and thorough mechanical services, all at a reasonable price. How good are they? I drive from the Flint area to Saginaw to visit Stroebel Automotive. I would not hesitate to take my Jeep there again in the future (and with the way I treat mine, I am sure we will see him again). Make sure to see Dale for your specialized 4×4 needs too.Thanks again Dale!

I would not take my car anywhere else, the service here can’t be beat. I don’t refer people to places I don’t trust so sending them here is no problem. Only place I will take any of my cars.
