TESLA Brake Service FAQ
1) Do Teslas really need brake service if regen does most of the work?
Yes. Regen reduces friction brake use, which can cause rotor corrosion and pad glazing. Periodic inspections, fluid tests, and proper bedding keep braking strong and quiet.
2) How often should I flush Tesla brake fluid?
We test fluid moisture during inspections. Many owners benefit from a flush every 2–3 years to protect ABS/ESP components and maintain pedal feel.
3) My Tesla steering wheel shakes when braking—rotors?
Likely rotor thickness variation or rust buildup. We measure runout and thickness to confirm. Often solved with new rotors/pads and correct bedding.
4) Can you service the electronic parking brake (EPB)?
Absolutely. We use Service Mode to retract/apply calipers safely and check EPB operation during brake service.
5) Do you work on other vehicles too?
Yes—we’re a full auto repair & service facility for all makes and models, including European, domestic, Asian, hybrids, and EVs.
