Why Your Braking System Matters

Your vehicle's brakes are its most important safety feature. When you press your brake pedal, you need the confidence that your car will stop quickly and safely. In Pequannock's varied driving conditions—from Route 23's high-speed traffic to the winding roads near the Pequannock River—properly functioning brakes are essential for your safety and the safety of everyone on the road.


Signs You Need Brake Service in Pequannock


Don't wait until your brakes completely fail. Look out for these warning signs that indicate it's time to visit Bock Automotive for brake repair:


  • Squealing or grinding noises when applying the brakes
  • Soft or spongy brake pedal that requires more pressure than usual
  • Vibration or pulsation in the brake pedal when stopping
  • Vehicle pulling to one side during braking
  • Longer stopping distances than normal
  • Dashboard warning lights illuminated (ABS or Brake System)
  • Burning smell while driving
  • Visible brake fluid leaks under your vehicle


If you notice any of these symptoms while driving around Pequannock, Wayne, or Lincoln Park, schedule a brake inspection immediately. Early intervention can prevent more expensive repairs and ensure your safety on New Jersey roads.

Our Comprehensive Brake Services

At Bock Automotive in Pequannock, we offer a complete range of brake repair and maintenance services:


Brake Pad Replacement

The most common brake service, our technicians replace worn brake pads with high-quality, OEM-approved replacement parts that match or exceed your vehicle's original specifications. We'll ensure proper installation and adjustment for optimal braking performance.


Rotor Resurfacing and Replacement

When brake rotors become warped or worn beyond safe limits, we can either resurface them (if they have sufficient material remaining) or replace them entirely. Our precision equipment ensures perfectly smooth rotor surfaces for quiet, vibration-free braking.


Brake Caliper Service

We inspect, clean, lubricate, and when necessary, rebuild or replace brake calipers to ensure proper operation. Properly functioning calipers are essential for even brake pad wear and consistent braking performance.


Brake Fluid Flush

Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture and becomes contaminated, reducing its effectiveness. Our complete brake fluid flush removes old fluid and replaces it with fresh fluid that meets your vehicle's specifications, maintaining proper hydraulic pressure in your braking system.


ABS System Diagnosis and Repair

Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we can identify and resolve issues with your anti-lock braking system. From sensor failures to control module problems, our technicians have the expertise to keep this important safety system operating correctly.



Emergency Brake Repair

We service and repair parking brake systems, ensuring this important backup braking system functions properly when needed.

Brake Repair FAQ

  • How often should I replace my brake pads in Pequannock?

    Brake pad replacement intervals vary depending on your driving habits, vehicle type, and local conditions. In Pequannock, with its mix of highway and stop-and-go driving, most vehicles need brake pad replacement every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. However, if you frequently drive in heavy traffic or mountainous areas, you may need replacement sooner.

  • How much does brake repair cost in Pequannock, NJ?

    Brake repair costs vary depending on your vehicle and the specific repairs needed. A basic brake pad replacement typically ranges from $150-$300 per axle, while more comprehensive repairs involving rotors, calipers, or hydraulic components may cost more. At Bock Automotive, we provide detailed estimates before beginning any work, so you'll know exactly what to expect.

  • How long does brake repair take?

    Many brake repairs can be completed in 1-3 hours. Simple brake pad replacements might take as little as an hour, while more complex repairs involving multiple components could take longer. We'll give you a realistic time estimate when you schedule your appointment.

  • Can I drive with grinding brakes?

    No! Grinding noises indicate that your brake pads are completely worn out and metal is grinding against your rotors. This not only compromises your stopping ability but can cause expensive damage to rotors and other components. If you hear grinding, schedule brake repair immediately.

  • Do you offer same-day brake repair in Pequannock?

    Yes, we frequently provide same-day brake repair services for Pequannock residents. We recommend calling us at (973) 320-7520 to schedule an appointment, but we'll always do our best to accommodate emergency situations when your brakes are compromised.

  • How do I know if I need new rotors or just brake pads?

    Signs that you need rotor replacement include visible scoring or grooves on the rotor surface, vibration when braking, uneven rotor wear, or rotors that have reached their minimum thickness. During our inspection, we'll measure your rotors and recommend replacement only if necessary.

  • Can I replace just the front or rear brakes?

    While it's common to replace brakes as axle pairs (both front or both rear), it's not always necessary to replace all four corners at once. Front brakes typically wear faster than rear brakes. Our inspection will determine exactly which components need replacement.A

  • Do you offer a warranty on brake repairs?

    Yes! All brake repairs performed at Bock Automotive come with our 2-year/24,000-mile nationwide warranty. This covers both parts and labor, giving you peace of mind with every brake repair.

  • How can I extend the life of my brakes in Pequannock?

    To maximize brake life while driving in Pequannock and surrounding areas:


    -Avoid aggressive driving and hard stops when possible

    -Don't "ride" your brakes on long downhills (use engine braking by downshifting)

    -Remove excess weight from your vehicle

    -Follow recommended maintenance schedules for brake fluid flushes

    -Address any brake issues at the first sign of trouble
