Your brakes are the most important safety system on your vehicle. Whether you're driving a classic car, work truck or grocery-getter, you need confidence that your brakes will perform when you need them.
At Riddle’s Automotive, we provide professional brake inspections, brake repairs, and brake service for cars, trucks, and SUVs throughout La Vista, Papillion, Ralston, and West Omaha.
We use Napa parts on all of our brake repairs that come with their own warrantee. We fully inspect the entire braking system before and after repairs are made and test drive the vehicles ourselves to make sure they're done right.
We're not always the first brake service and repair shop people come to, but we're almost always the last. We fix brake problems other shops can't properly diagnose and typically overcharge for.
Small brake issues can become expensive problems if ignored.
We inspect the complete braking system to identify the actual cause of the problem.
Brake pads wear down over time and require replacement to maintain safe stopping ability.
Damaged or worn rotors can cause vibration, noise, and uneven braking.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time and can affect braking performance.

A brake noise does not always mean you need every brake component replaced. A warning light does not always mean the most expensive repair. Our technicians take the time to inspect the vehicle and explain what we find.
We help customers understand:

One of the most common situations we see is customers coming in after receiving expensive repair recommendations elsewhere.
After a complete inspection, we sometimes find the actual issue is smaller and more affordable. Our goal is not to sell the biggest repair. Our goal is to fix your vehicle correctly.

Noise, vibration, warning lights, or changes in pedal feel are common signs. If your car makes a grinding sound or squeak or squeal when you step on the brake pedal, that is a good indicator as well. If your car pulls to one side when braking or takes longer than normal to come to a stop those are good signs you should have a brake inspection immediately.
Brake life depends on driving habits, vehicle type, and conditions. Manufacturers provide guidance as to how long they last, but brakes are one component that has very little to do with a car's age or mileage. Brakes on a truck that is always loaded down can fail much sooner than the guidance suggests.
Not always. Rotor condition determines whether replacement is needed. Rotors are designed to last longer than brake pads. Some manufacturers have known issues with their rotors and actually require them to be replaced more frequently. We know which makes and models are problematic, so bring your car by or call us before purchasing a used vehicle.
If your car feels a little shaky, sounds different, or does not drive the way it used to, let Riddle’s Automotive help find out why. Call us or bring it in and we\ll take a look.
