🔧 Common Brake Repair Issues in Houston

Boiled Brake Fluid from Heat

Houston's 100°F+ summers cause brake fluid to overheat and lose effectiveness, especially in stop-and-go I-45 traffic.

Typical cost: $120-$250 for fluid flush

Flood-Damaged Brake Components

Annual flooding events contaminate brake fluid with water, corrode calipers, and damage ABS sensors.

Typical cost: $400-$1,200 depending on damage

Accelerated Pad Wear

I-45/610 Loop heavy traffic combined with large truck presence accelerates brake pad wear to 30,000-40,000 miles.

Typical cost: $280-$550
