BRAKES & BRAKE REPAIR
At 4th Street Auto & Tire, we want our Long Beach customers to have the opportunity to feel comfortable in their vehicle. You can leave the repairs and services to our professionals, but please don't hesitate to ask us questions about why a service is needed or how it occurred. Give us a call at 562-612-3142, and we will be happy to speak with you. Here is some valuable information on brake issues and corrective services 4th Street Auto & Tire offers.
Anti-Lock Brake System
Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) ensure that the wheels don't stop rotating during braking, preventing the car from skidding and offering greater control. If your ABS light comes on, visit 4th Street Auto & Tire where we will be happy to diagnose and fix the problem.
Brake Fluid Flushes
Brake fluid will absorb water from the air over time, causing the brake system to become less effective and the fluid to become corrosive, possibly damaging the system. It is important to perform a brake fluid flush regularly to ensure that your vehicle is using fresh fluid. Talk to our technicians at 4th Street Auto & Tire about when it's time for a brake fluid flush.
Brake Hoses
A brake hose is a tube carrying pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A crushed hose can cause a lagged or slow brake, and a leak in the hose can cause the brake, or the entire brake system, to fail. These don't need to be replaced often, but should be replaced at the first sign of cracking or wear.
Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement
Brake pad problems can usually be identified by squealing brakes. If your brake pads deteriorate completely, you'll hear a grinding metal-on-metal sound when braking, meaning that it's too late and you're ruining your rotors or drums! Those with knowledge of auto repair may be able to fix this at home, but you should always see an auto repair professional immediately if you have brake problems.
Caliper Replacement
The brake caliper houses your brake pads and fits around the rotor like a clamp, pressing the pads against the rotor when you brake. A brake caliper problem could cause uneven braking, making your car slide forward when you brake. Uneven braking can also cause your vehicle to slide out of control in bad weather conditions, so contact 4th Street Auto & Tire as soon as possible.
Resurface Rotors
In a disc brake system, rotors are attached to your vehicle's wheels. When the brake pads grip the rotor, they bring both the rotor and wheels to a stop. However, the friction causes grooves and cracks to appear over time. Resurfacing brings the rotor back to a "like-new" condition, reducing squealing and wobbling. 4th Street Auto & Tire will give your rotors a thorough inspection and recommend your best course of action.

I went in to see if I could get my tire patched since I had a last minute flat tire before going to work but unfortunately it was punctured and I needed to replace the whole tire. I was in a hurry and stressed out and Jacob and his team helped me out big time. I even made it to work in time. I definitely recommend this place to everyone! Thank you Jacob & team! -

Excellent service!!! I was in a very tight spot with a flat tire and a few other issues. The manager took care of us and I wish I could yydo more for him as a result of his help. This company does exceptional work and have a quality difficult to find today——they really care about their customers.

Had a flat tire late Saturday afternoon, right before closing time, when streets were closed down all over LB for an event. When I called Jacob not only said he could help me, but he guided me on the best route to get there. I was in and out in no time. Jacob also respectfully explained what was wrong with my tire, which I appreciate. He left a great first impression - I will go back for future service!
