Brake Pads and Rotors for All Makes and Models
Your brakes work hard in the Heber Valley, from stop-and-go traffic on Main Street to long descents through the canyons. Tracy's Auto Repair services brake pads and rotors on all makes and models so you can stop with confidence.
Signs you need brake service

- Grinding or growling noises
- Vibration or pulsing in the pedal or steering wheel
- The vehicle pulls to one side when braking
- A soft, spongy or sinking pedal
- The brake warning light is on
Learn what each symptom means in 7 warning signs your brakes need service.
What brake service can include
Depending on what we find during inspection, brake service may include new brake pads, new or resurfaced rotors, and checking calipers, hardware, brake hoses and brake fluid. Pads that are replaced before they wear down to the metal help protect the rotors and keep repair costs lower.
Protect your brakes on mountain roads
On long downhill stretches, use a lower gear so the engine helps slow the vehicle, and avoid riding the brakes. This reduces heat and helps pads and rotors last longer. Keeping up with a regular maintenance schedule, including brake fluid, is just as important.
Question: Do I always need new rotors with new brake pads?
Not always. Rotors that are within the manufacturer's minimum thickness and have a smooth, even surface can sometimes be reused. Rotors that are too thin, deeply grooved or causing pedal pulsation should be replaced. We will explain what we find so you can make an informed decision.
Tracy's Auto Repair is located at 110 N Main Street in Heber City and is open Monday to Friday, 8AM to 6PM.
