The Best Brake Shop And Brake Repair Since 2009

The Southwestern New Hampshire Areas #1 Brake Repair Shop

Affordable, Fast and Friendly Repair

If you need brake maintenance or repair J.S. Automotive can take care of your needs quickly and affordably. Call us or visit us at any of our Southwestern New Hampshire area locations and we'll inspect your vehicle's brakes, provide cost-effective recommendations, and get your vehicle up and running smoothly. Your brakes are a vital safety feature so if you're unsure of their integrity please get in touch with us right away!

J.S. Automotive's Five Star Brake Services Near You:

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 J.S. Automotive where we will be happy to diagnose and fix the problem.

Brake Fluid Exchanges
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 J.S. Automotive 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 J.S. Automotive 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. J.S. Automotive will give your rotors a thorough inspection and recommend your best course of action.

Great service very friendly and accommodating. They go above and beyond. I have gone to them for the last 10 years and are the only repair shop I trust to work on my car and keep me and my family safe. They always have a smile on their face and it's always a consistent face and hello when you walk in.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

My wife drove her car up from NJ today, she had already had it looked at in NJ and they replaced the rotors, but the problem was still there as she drove up to Grantham. Since I have my cars serviced at J&S (Jeep and Mercedes--2013) I told my wife to take her Honda CR-V to them. It was late in the day, but they waited for her (Chris and all the guys that work there). They got the Honda up on a lift and narrowed the problem down to two things (driveshaft or bent wheel) in about 5 minutes. I guess the bottom line with J&S is they are there when you need them even though they did not have to be, and they figure the problem out or at least narrow it down pretty quickly. Also, they don't assume what the problem is they actually diagnose it. In this case they would have taken out that drive shaft, driven the car, and determined whether that was the problem. All I can say is that since I have been taking my cars to J&S, and perform the maintenance and service they recommend, knock on wood, I have not had any problems. If I lived in Grantham full time, it is the only place I would take my vehicles, though so far, I plan it so I can have them do the service. , 10/04/2024
