Brakes & Brake Repair
At Pacific Car Care, we want our Portland customers to have the opportunity to feel comfortable in their vehicle. You can leave the repairs and services to our professionals, but please don't hesitate to ask us questions about why a service is needed or how it occurred. Give us a call at 503-293-7200, and we will be happy to speak with you. Here is some valuable information on brake issues and corrective services Pacific Car Care offers.
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.
Resurface Rotors
In a disk 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. Pacific Car Care will give your rotors a thorough inspection and recommend your best course of action.
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 caliber 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 Pacific Car Care as soon as possible.
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 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 Pacific Car Care about when it's time for a brake fluid flush.
Wheel Bearings
Wheel bearings are found inside of wheels, allowing the wheels to spin freely, and are connected to the brake system. They can become worn over time, causing a vibrating suspension and noisy rubbing as the car is driven. If they break completely, the vehicle will become very difficult to control and unsafe to drive. Replacement interval for wheel bearings varies greatly, but they should be checked for leaks and wear periodically. Pacific Car Care can make sure that your bearings are in good shape and let you know if they need replacement.
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 Pacific Car Care where we will be happy to diagnose and perform all of your brake repair needed.

We have a long relationship with Ken and his staff. since we have newer vehicles now, we don't see them as often. Thankfully they helped us keep the previous ones running past their Best By Date.

Highly highly recommend. Very communicative mechanics, both professional and very personable. Honest, reliable, reasonably-priced. This is the platonic ideal of what a mechanic should be.

I went to Pacific Car Care for an oil change and was very happy with the ease of scheduling an appointment and explanation of service performed.
On my next oil change I will have a recommended service due on my car.
It's so good to find a reliable mechanic shop.

I’m not one to leave reviews normally but I have nothing but respect for Ken and his team. Very friendly and knowledgeable techs who take the time to explain your situation and what it’s going to take to fix it. Very quick service too. Dropped my car off for a major oil leak this morning it was put back together and in my driveway again by the evening. Thank you guys for keeping my car on the road, I will continue to come here for any vehicle issues
Because all situations are different, we ensure pricing is appropriate for each individual job. Contact us to discuss the situation with your vehicle and we will price the work accordingly - not a penny more.
What services do you offer?
We provide auto repair and maintenance services in the areas of brakes, computer diagnostics, electrical systems, engine tune-ups, exhaust systems, heating/air conditioning, oil changes, tire repair, transmissions, and much more.
How do I set an appointment for auto repair?
You can request an appointment through our website or call our shop at 503-293-7200.
Is there a cost to have someone look at my car?
For most problems the answer is yes. In order for us to evaluate your problem or concern, one of our Technicians will need to spend some time on your vehicle in order for us to give you a complete diagnosis. The charge would be based on the time spent. Depending on the problem, our Service Writer will give you an estimate before we start any repairs.
Can I have my car back the same day?
If your car is scheduled for a general service or maintenance, then yes in most all cases. If your car comes in with an un-diagnosed problem then your car may have a lay over. We will always try very hard to give you same day service, but some repairs are out of our hands when it comes to parts availability and sometimes the scope of repairs.
Can I supply you with my own parts?
You can. But you should know that there are risks in doing so. We are unable to supply you with a warranty on the work if you supply your own part. If the parts fail, you would be charged to do the job again. Also, you may feel you are saving money by buying a less expensive part, but when that part goes bad, there is no savings. We have a good working relationship with our parts suppliers and through the years of experiences know which parts are good quality and which ones are not, so by allowing us to supply the parts ensures you are getting a good part at a fair price and with a warranty.
Can I pick my car up after you are closed?
Yes. We can arrange payment by phone as long as you have the needed information to process a credit card over the phone. We then will be able to secure the keys and a copy of the repair order in your car for you.
Do you perform oil changes?
Yes. We perform all of your needed services along with all fluid services. When you have us service your engine oil and filter, you will benefit greatly by having a highly trained technician looking your car over for concerns and needed repairs. Most all oil change shops are much faster, but are not trained in catching problems with your vehicle.
Do you recycle?
Yes. All used oils are recycled along with antifreeze. All metal parts are recycled. All cardboard and paper products are recycled. We also recycle all oil and fuel filters.
Can I wait for the work to be done on my automobile?
Yes, we have a comfortable seating area in our front shop and have updated magazines, complementary popcorn and a soda machine while you wait. Most services can take some time, so it is usually best to try and leave the car with us. But if your service is a smaller job and you plan to wait, just let our Service Writer know when you make the appointment.
Can you install used parts in my car?
Yes, we can but in most all cases we would not advise this. It would be a gamble to do so and there would be no warranty. There are exceptions where we may be able to advise you on the possible choice of using a quality used part and we would let you know that is an option.
Can I drop my car off when you are closed?
Yes, you can. We understand vehicles do not break down only when we are open. Click here to be taken to our page where you can download our night drop form and the instructions on how to leave your vehicle with us after hours.
Do you work with aftermarket warranty companies?
Yes, we do. We will read your policy over and advise you of the procedures. We will contact the company to get authorization and payment information. We know you have enough to worry about with your vehicle problems, you don’t need to deal with any more stress.
Can you perform the required maintenance my auto manufacturer wants done to keep my warranty valid?
Yes, we can. You do not have to return to dealer and pay the high prices to have quality service done to your vehicle. A quality independent repair shop can perform all of the needed service and keep your vehicle in good standing with your warranty. In fact during the service of your car, we can advise you of any problems we may see that would be covered under your warranty and advise you on how to proceed with getting them repaired.
Do you keep records of the repairs done on my car?
Yes, we do. All of the work performed on all of your vehicles is kept in our computer base. None of the information is sold or given to any outside source. Your information is important and we respect that and will not let it go anywhere.
