🔧 Common Brake Repair Issues in San Antonio

Heat-Stressed Brake Fluid

Texas summer heat (100°F+) combined with I-10/I-35 traffic causes brake fluid breakdown and reduced effectiveness.

Typical cost: $130-$260 for high-temp fluid flush

Warped Rotors from Hill Country

Constant braking descending Hill Country roads causes rotor overheating and warping, especially with loaded vehicles.

Typical cost: $320-$650 for rotor replacement

Accelerated Towing Brake Wear

Frequent trailer towing (boats, RVs, equipment) common in San Antonio accelerates brake component wear.

Typical cost: $350-$750 for heavy-duty brake upgrade
