Call us at 240-347-4884 or visit us in Hagerstown and we'll inspect your vehicle, provide cost-effective recommendations and get your vehicle up and running smoothly. Your brakes are a vital safety feature, so if you're unsure of their integrity, please get in touch with us right away!
Anti-Lock Brake System
Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) ensure that the wheels don't stop rotating during braking, preventing the car from skidding and offering greater control. If your ABS light comes on, visit Dwayne's Auto Repair where we will be happy to diagnose and fix the problem.
Brake Fluid Flushes
Brake fluid will absorb water from the air over time, causing the brake system to become less effective and the fluid to become corrosive, possibly damaging the system. It is important to perform a brake fluid flush regularly to ensure that your vehicle is using fresh fluid. Talk to our technicians at Dwayne's Auto Repair about when it's time for a brake fluid flush.
Brake Hoses
A brake hose is a tube carrying pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A crushed hose can cause a lagged or slow brake, and a leak in the hose can cause the brake, or the entire brake system, to fail. These don't need to be replaced often, but should be replaced at the first sign of cracking or wear.
Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement
Brake pad problems can usually be identified by squealing brakes. If your brake pads deteriorate completely, you'll hear a grinding metal-on-metal sound when braking, meaning that it's too late and you're ruining your rotors or drums! Those with knowledge of auto repair may be able to fix this at home, but you should always see an auto repair professional immediately if you have brake problems.
Caliper Replacement
The brake caliper houses your brake pads and fits around the rotor like a clamp, pressing the pads against the rotor when you brake. A brake caliper problem could cause uneven braking, making your car slide forward when you brake. Uneven braking can also cause your vehicle to slide out of control in bad weather conditions, so contact Dwayne's Auto Repair as soon as possible.
Resurface Rotors
In a disc brake system, rotors are attached to your vehicle's wheels. When the brake pads grip the rotor, they bring both the rotor and wheels to a stop. However, the friction causes grooves and cracks to appear over time. Resurfacing brings the rotor back to a "like-new" condition, reducing squealing and wobbling. Dwayne's Auto Repair will give your rotors a thorough inspection and recommend your best course of action.

Highly recommended, very polite and helpful. I would send my family and friends there with no hesitation! Reasonable prices as well. I'm a traveler that ran into brake issues on the highway nearby and had to get off immediately. We called everywhere and naturally everyone was busy and did not have time for any questions. The staff at Dwayne's Auto Repair however were polite and helpful from the beginning and managed to fit us in first thing in the morning so we can continue our trip. An employee Brenton arrived earlier to meet me there and truly made this ordeal a stress free process. Thanks again!!

Called around to many repair shops in the area, checking pricing. Dwayne's offered the best deal by long shot. Not only was the price of service the best around, they went out of their way to offer a great customer experience. Provided me with a ride home to wait while repairs were being done and offered to come and pick me up if needed. I can't recommend this family owned establishment enough! Great all around! Will definitely be my "go to" auto repair shop for any service needed in the future.
