Brakes
Just like any other system in your vehicle, your brakes require regular maintenance and service to keep you safe on the road. Whether you're making a sudden stop to avoid a hazard or easing to a red light, your brakes must perform flawlessly every time.

Brake pads | G-Man Automotive & Body Shop – Houston, TX
Brake pads play a crucial role in the performance and safety of your vehicle’s braking system. Over time, they naturally wear down due to heat, friction, and everyday driving.
​
Worn-out brake pads can lead to reduced stopping power, damage to other brake components, or even total brake failure. That’s why it’s essential to replace your brake pads on time to maintain safe and reliable braking performance.
Why We Recommend Ceramic Brake Pads
At G-Man Automotive & Body Shop, we highly recommend upgrading to ceramic brake pads for a cleaner, quieter, and longer-lasting braking experience. Here’s why:
​
-
Low Brake Dust: Ceramic pads produce significantly less dust, helping to keep your wheels cleaner and your brake system in better shape.
​
-
Superior Heat Resistance: These pads are built to withstand high temperatures, which helps reduce “brake fade” during heavy or repeated braking.
​​
-
Quieter Performance: Ceramic brake pads are engineered for quieter stops, minimizing squeaking and squealing noises.
​​
-
Longer Lifespan: Compared to traditional or OEM brake pads, ceramic options typically last longer, offering more value over time.
​​
Upgrade to ceramic brake pads today for improved performance, durability, and peace of mind every time you hit the brakes.
Brake Flush
For optimal braking performance and safety, your vehicle’s brake system should be flushed every 2 to 3 years.
At G-Man Automotive & Body Shop, we offer professional brake fluid flush services to help ensure your brakes respond when you need them most.
​
Benefits of a Complete Brake Flush
​
-
Extends the Life of Brake Components
Fresh brake fluid lubricates and protects brake hoses, wheel cylinders, and calipers—reducing wear and extending the lifespan of key components.
​
-
Eliminates Air Pockets
A full brake system flush removes trapped air that can cause a spongy brake pedal or dangerous “brake fade,” restoring full braking pressure.
​​
-
Protects the Master Cylinder
Clean brake fluid helps keep your master cylinder functioning properly, minimizing the risk of internal corrosion or failure.
