Comprehensive Brake Repair Services
We provide a full range of brake repair services to ensure your vehicle performs at its best. Our services include:
Anti-Lock Brake System
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) ensures your wheels keep rotating during braking, preventing skidding and providing better control. If your ABS light illuminates, visit Evans Automotive & Tire Center for a diagnosis and professional repair.
Brake Fluid Flushes
Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air over time, diminishing brake effectiveness and becoming corrosive, potentially harming the system. Regular brake fluid flushes are vital to ensure fresh fluid usage in your vehicle. Consult our technicians at Evans Automotive & Tire Center to determine the right time for a brake fluid flush.
Brake Hoses
A brake hose carries pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A damaged hose can lead to delayed or weak braking, and a leak may result in brake failure. While the need for a replacement brake hose isn't common, any signs of cracking or wear should prompt immediate replacement.
Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement
Squealing brakes often indicate brake pad issues. When brake pads deteriorate completely, a harsh metal-on-metal grinding noise occurs during braking, indicating potential rotor or drum damage. Although experienced individuals may attempt home repairs, if you have brake concerns, it's best to consult an auto repair professional promptly.
Caliper Replacement
The brake caliper houses brake pads and clamps around the rotor to apply pressure during braking. Caliper problems can cause uneven braking, leading to skidding during braking and loss of control in adverse weather conditions. Contact Evans Automotive & Tire Center in Saint Augustine at your earliest convenience for assistance.
Resurface Rotors
In a disc brake system, rotors attach to your vehicle's wheels. The friction with brake pads over time creates grooves and cracks. The process of resurfacing restores rotors to a "like-new" condition, reducing noise and wobbling. At Evans Automotive & Tire Center, we inspect your rotors thoroughly and recommend the best course of action.

Brake FAQs
Learn about some of the common questions you may have:
Why are my brakes squeaking?
Noises coming from your brakes do not usually indicate a high-cost auto repair. It could be a foreign object such as a small stone or road debris. It could also be a signal that your brake-pads are wearing out and need replacing. As brake pads wear bits of metal in your brake pad come in contact with the rotor to create a squeaking noise when you apply the brakes.
Why are my brakes making a grinding noise?
Grinding noises usually indicate that your car's brake system is overdue for maintenance. The grinding sound is usually caused by the brake pad being completely worn away or the brake shoe scraping on metal contact points.
Why are my brakes vibrating?
If your car shakes or vibrates or wobbles when you apply the brakes, it indicates that the thickness of your rotor is uneven. Brake rotors are large, perfectly round, smooth metal discs that sit inside of the wheels. When the disc has become misshapen or unevenly worn it will vibrate or wobble when you hit the brakes. Left uneven, the material will continue to build on the uneven spots, making the problem worse over time.
Why are my brakes making a burning smell?
Overheated brakes cause a noticeable burning chemical smell. Pull over to a safe place and allow the brakes to cool. Ensure you did not accidentally leave the parking brake on. If there's any smoke coming from a wheel, it may be that the brake caliper is malfunctioning and locked in place. In this case, it may be unsafe to continue driving.
What are the 3 signs that brake pads are worn?
The three most common sounds that indicate you need to replace your brake pads are squeaking, grinding or the dashboard brake indicator light coming on.

OUR REVIEWS
Chris Johnson, 05/19/2025Outstanding in every way. We were vacationing from Ohio and our 2003 Tahoe AC quit and there was a rattle that was quite loud. We had done a Segway tour downtown and while there I asked the tour Manager if he could refer us to a shop for a look - Thor directed us to Evans Automotive and even called them and advised they could look at the Tahoe yet that day. Wow, it was 3:00pm on a Wednesday and we could still get service. We were met by Rob at the front counter when we arrived, he was great - he came outside, checked under the hood and told me the A/C compressor needed replaced. He then told me they could have it done by the next day. Really - I was shocked and the pricing was fair and a little less than my own mechanic in Ohio would have charged me I'm sure. Rob was friendly, professional and very helpful. I was going to call Uber since our condo rental was about 30 minutes away. Rob said he might be able to get us a ride and the next thing we knew a friendly guy named Nate was pulling up with a ride for all four of us back to our condo. Nate was super - very gracious and kind. He got us back and I had the nerve to ask him if we could get a ride when it was done - he said if he had time and a driver he would definitely try to pick me up. Another WOW moment. On Friday morning at 9:00am Rob called, the Tahoe was done and advised Nate would pick me up. I was more than impressed to say the least. 45 minutes later Nate arrived - Talk about service - I was expecting to pay for this round trip service, even a small fee of some sort, but it just worked out he could do it - Thank you NATE - you made our trip much better. If you have read this entire review, trust me when I say this service center is outstanding in every way and after finding out Nate managed the center (and is part of its' legacy as an Evans....) GREAT job!! I pray others see this review and put their trust in this outstanding organization.....Way To Go Nate and Team, the Johnson family wishes you the best - God bless!!
