Mobile Brake Caliper Replacement in Charlotte, NC

The caliper squeezes the brake pads against the rotor. When it sticks or leaks, your brakes wear out fast or pull to one side. TireDoc replaces calipers where your car is parked.

When you need this

  • The car pulls to one side when braking
  • A burning smell after driving
  • Brake fluid leaking near a wheel
  • One brake pad worn much more than the other
  • One wheel is much hotter than the others after a drive

How it works

  1. Tell us what you notice.
  2. We inspect the caliper, pads and rotor on the affected wheel.
  3. We replace the caliper, service the brake system as needed and test the brakes.
Save time and nerves. A sticking caliper is not something to drive around on. We come to you instead of making you drive on a failing brake to reach a shop.

Questions

Why does a caliper stick?

Age, rust and a seized slide pin or piston are common causes.

Do I need to replace both sides?

Not always. We inspect and tell you what is needed.

Is it safe to drive with a leaking caliper?

Leaking brake fluid is a safety issue. Call us before you drive.
