“Fares did some major repairs on my GTI, including brakes, rear main seal and transmission fluid change. He is professional, capable and courteous. Despite the terrible weather he persevered, and got the job done. Very happy with his work.”Google review, five stars, August 2026
“Fares came by and did the brakes on my 2021 Lexus RX350. I got quoted way more at a shop so I decided to try a mobile mechanic instead. He showed up on time, did the work in my driveway, and everything went smoothly.”Google review, five stars, 2021 Lexus RX350
“Wonderful and quick experience, charged me way less than the dealer and he did the work in my driveway in the cold. I really appreciate all the hard work.”Google review, five stars

Brakes are the one system you don't mess around with. When they start grinding or the pedal feels soft, driving to a shop isn't always the right move, and waiting 3 days for an appointment definitely isn't. I come to you, same day, with the right parts for your vehicle.
Most of my brake calls are from highway commuters whose pads wore down faster than expected, and people who heard the squeal for a week before calling. The squeal is the pads telling you they're done. The grinding is metal on metal. Don't wait for grinding.
Ceramic or semi-metallic pads matched to your vehicle. No cheap blanks. Honda Civic owners get ceramic to reduce the dust; BMW and Subaru owners often need specific compound pads to prevent rotor warp.
$250–$400 per axleI measure thickness and runout before recommending replacement. If they're within spec, I'll tell you. Subaru rotors warp easily. I see it constantly on Foresters and Outbacks.
$300–$600 per axleSeized, leaking, or dragging calipers rebuilt or replaced on-site. A stuck caliper will destroy pads in days and wear your rotor unevenly.
$350–$700 per caliperCorroded hard lines and cracked rubber hoses replaced before they fail. Ontario salt does a number on brake lines after 5–7 years.
$150–$350Old fluid absorbs moisture and raises boiling point risk. Full flush and bleed. Recommended every 2 years regardless of mileage.
$80–$120Soft or sinking pedal after a normal pad/rotor job? Could be the master cylinder internally bypassing. Diagnosed and replaced on-site.
$300–$600If your brakes are grinding, the car might not be safe to drive across the city to a shop. I come to wherever you are, home, office, roadside, and fix it there. No tow truck cost on top of the repair bill.
The number one upsell I see on brake jobs is unnecessary rotor replacement. A lot of shops replace rotors every time they do pads, even when the rotors are within spec. I measure first. If they're fine, I say so.
BMW owners get charged dealer rates for ceramic pad sets that are available aftermarket for a fraction. Honda Civic owners constantly get upsold on "premium" pads that cost 3x more and make the same dust. I match the right pad compound to your driving style, not your wallet size.
When to actually worry: grinding (metal on metal) means stop driving now. Pulling under braking usually means a stuck caliper, don't ignore it, it gets worse fast. Vibration when braking is almost always a warped rotor, totally normal wear, especially on Subarus.
Upgrading instead of repairing?
Big brake kits, performance pads and braided lines get the same discipline as my repair work: your parts, my torque wrench, a proper bleed and the bedding done on the road.
