I felt like they were honest and knew what they were talking about. Thank you for being honest, especially to a woman...some places make up repairs to charge more. Thank you, Jerry's.” —Michelle H. “This is my new go-to auto repair shop. Great staff and great service. After taking my Chrysler 300 to 2 other auto shops for an annoying noise in my front end, neither could figure out the cause. I had become extremely frustrated. Both stated everything was tight, to keep driving it. I made an appointment at Jerry's Auto repair. I dropped my car off at 8:00 AM, they called me at 10:45, said the issue had been identified. Sure enough, they fixed the problem and at a reasonable price. I am the happiest customer. I feel a lot safer driving my vehicle again. You all are AWESOME! I definitely recommend them and will be using them for any future auto needs.” —Vera D. “He answered my phone call on a Sunday while closed. Told him my problem with my truck. Said he could have it fixed the next day. Huge relief being 500 miles from home and not having any tools to fix the problems myself.” —Nick F. “The guys at Jerry's Auto Repair did what seemed impossible to me. They not only replaced my Ford Fusion Hybrid transmission, but did so for a reasonable rate. Did I mention how personable they are? They kept me posted on the progress of my repair and were always friendly and easy to talk to. As a widow of a certain age, I felt confident they would treat me fairly. They are all that a neighborhood garage can be and more. PS I also went to them for routine maintenance, tires, etc. Five thumbs up!” —Elizabeth J. “Love the service and will be back for all my car's needs.” —Regina B.

To stay as safe as possible during your daily driving routine, it’s crucial that your brakes are healthy. When you first notice evidence of a brake problem, it’s important to get to the shop for an inspection. At Jerry’s Auto Repair, we provide expert brake repair in the greater Grandview, MO area. Here’s a look at five signs of brake trouble. Squealing or Grinding Noises One of the most common indications of brake trouble is unusual noises when you apply the brakes. A high-pitched squeal can indicate that the brake pads are worn and need replacing. A grinding noise often suggests that the brake pads have worn down completely, and your rotors are at risk of damage. Vibrating If you feel vibrations or pulsations when braking, it could mean that your rotors have become warped. Excessive heat is a common cause of warped rotors, which can lead to reduced braking performance. Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal A soft or spongy brake pedal can indicate problems such as air in the brake lines or leaking brake fluid. If your vehicle has a brake fluid leak, you’ve got a major safety issue and shouldn’t drive it. Rather, it’ll be safer to have a tow truck bring your car to the shop. Veering When corrosion causes calipers to freeze up, the car is liable to veer off to one side. This obviously creates a serious safety hazard for you and other drivers. To avoid an accident in this situation, it’s best to call for a tow. Dashboard Warning Light An ABS warning light can get triggered by issues such as low brake fluid and faulty wheel speed sensors. Whenever a dashboard warning light flashes on, it’s important to promptly bring it to the mechanic’s attention. Otherwise, the underlying issue could soon escalate and cause bigger trouble.
