Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Brake Services

Q1: How Often Should I Have My Brakes Inspected?

A: We recommend having your brakes inspected at least once a year or whenever you notice unusual behavior, such as squeaking, grinding, or decreased responsiveness.

Q2: What Are The Signs That My Brake Pads Need Replacement?

A: Squeaking, grinding, or vibrations while braking are signs that your brake pads might need a replacement. If you notice any of these indicators, it’s time to schedule an inspection.

Q3: Is Brake Fluid Exchange Necessary?

A: Yes, brake fluid exchange is essential to maintain proper brake system operation. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, affecting braking performance. We recommend following your vehicle’s manufacturer guidelines for brake fluid replacement intervals.

Q4: Can I Drive With A Soft Brake Pedal?

A: A soft brake pedal could indicate air in the brake lines or a brake fluid leak. It’s not safe to drive with compromised braking. If you experience a soft pedal, we recommend seeking professional assistance immediately.

Q5: How Long Does A Brake Pad Replacement Typically Take?

A: Brake pad replacement is usually a relatively quick procedure, often taking about 1 to 2 hours. However, the time may vary based on your vehicle’s make and model.

Our Customer Reviews

I had a dealership estimate of $2,000.00 for replacement of front and rear rotors and pads plus brake fluid exchange. Joe examined the brakes, and said I only needed rear pads and rotors with caliper service. This service was less than a quarter of what dealership was going to charge. Great service. Work done quickly while I waited.

Joan Sopkow Jul 7, 2024

I can not say enough good things about Reliance Auto. I recently moved to the area and had an emergency with my CR-V. I was able to get my car towed directly there and they were able to give me a diagnosis that day even though it was late in the afternoon and work was completed by early the following day. The price was beyond fair and I am forever grateful.

Claire Connerly Jul 7, 2024

Excellent service best shop in Hamilton quality work fair prices.

Charles james Hayhoe Jul 7, 2024

Sasha Stec Jun 6, 2024

Whenever I visit the shop, Joe and the team always make me feel well taken care of.

Kristian Reimer Jul 7, 2021

The booking was smooth. The time to address my issues and to get the car back was very timely. The assessment of what needed to be done was thorough and good. The repairs were well done

Murray Hulley May 5, 2024

Excellent service, honest, fair prices and finished early. I had my vehicle towed here after my friend recommended them. I had my subframe break and I thought it would be a long wait because it's not a stocked part and hard to get. They found me a used one the same day and saved me money. They told me it would take 3 days to install. It was done in 3 days. I had a couple parts in my back seat and they install them free of charge since they were in the same area. They kept me in the loop every step of the way. That was a few weeks ago and it still drives great! Like a brand new vehicle! This will now be my regular shop!

seeya205 May 5, 2024

Always good service. I've been coming here for about two years and I trust the sevice and pricing. I had my car fully serviced because I was going on a 16 hour drive. Joe made sure my car was safe for the trip. My plans were changed but I'm glad the car was fully serviced. Joe is always professional and he explains any concerns prior to doing the work. This is very important when you're on a budget. I will keep coming back.

JJ May 5, 2024

Honest, fair pricing, quality work. Took me in same day for a safety, had me out, work done and saftied within 4-5 hours. A++ recommended from me.

Dacker Apr 4, 2024

The staff is always friendly and they do great work.

Sharon Kane Apr 4, 2024

We would give 6 stars if we could. We had our check engine light come on nearby on 403, they were able to see us right away, had the job done in half the time estimated at a reasonable rate and with $ off our CAA membership. Able to continue our road trip safely. Thanks again!

Sharon Saxon-Buri Apr 4, 2024

Fast, friendly, and affordable service. I took my car in for a brake replacement, and was pleasantly surprised with the price and the quick turn around time. The staff were engaging and helpful - answering all of my questions. Will definitely come back for all of my maintenance and repairs in the future 🙂.

This is the most honest shop I’ve ever been to! It’s affordable and quick service ! I will forever be bringing my car to this place !

Alexis Bennett Feb 2, 2024

Had damage to my radiator hoses on an old BMW. They fixed it well, and stayed after hours to show me that the steam coming from the radiator after the repair was leftover coolant from the initial leak and that it was all good and they were chill about it. Appreciate the care and good service on the repair

Eric Solomon Dec 12, 2023

Good job

Pavel Slivka Dec 12, 2023

Great!

Bruce McLeod Dec 12, 2023

Thank goodness for Joe at Reliance ! If it wasn't for him, I would be taking the bus because he has rescued me and my s#!+box truck more times than I can count! He is never too busy to address whatever Fresh Hell is occurring with my ancient truck, and he always ensures that it is safe for my son and me to drive. As soon as I win the LottoMax, I'm going to buy an EXTREMELY expensive fancy truck, and I will only allow Joe to perform its regularly scheduled maintenance (when my butler brings it in to Reliance of course-because I'll be on a beach somewhere...)

Carie-Anne Nov 11, 2023

The guys here are welcoming and have very good knowledge about cars. Though I drive a German, Joe had the fox figured out with ease. Plus I got some aftermarket parts installed. Love it! Def my guy/ garage in Hamilton!

Tom Burns Sep 9, 2023

Honest, helpful, fast and great prices. I know little about cars and the mechanic lifted my car back up to show me in detail what was wrong visually. They helped me identify a bad safety and has been my go-to mechanic since. Highly reccommend.

angela Okoh Jun 6, 2023

Been going here for years. Honest mechanics that take the time to explain the repairs made.

Ian Apr 4, 2023

This auto shop is simply the best! I recently had them install front struts and a lower control arm on my vehicle. Beforehand, they performed a thorough inspection of my suspension, for which they charged a small fee. They then advised me on the necessary parts needed, and allowed me to purchase them on my own, which saved me money. They took my car in the morning and had it fixed the same day. Additionally, they performed a complimentary brake check and tire pressure check. I've used this shop for all of my vehicle maintenance and repair needs, including oil changes (where they allow me to bring my own oil and filter), major work such as a timing belt and water pump replacement, brake jobs, and other suspension repairs. I've never been happier with an auto shop - these guys are honest and reliable. I highly recommend them!

Wingman Courier Jul 7, 2022

Got our car towed here from CAA due to a broken spring, they were quick and courteous, I asked to replace both struts. They only replaced the one side (the drivers side) and the price was decent, fixed the issue however I would have liked to have both done. Overall, still satisfied but not entirely what I wanted at the end of the day. I'd go to them again, miscommunications happen but the service was still good.
