A brake warning light can mean low fluid, a parking brake switch, worn pads on some cars, or a fault in the ABS system. We don’t guess. Rafael reads the codes, inspects the system and tells you what’s going on.
Rafael completed Bosch brake technology training in 2024.

Brake Fluid Service & ABS Light Diagnosis FAQ
Is it safe to drive with the ABS light on?
Your regular brakes may still work, but the anti-lock system may not. Have it checked soon, and call us right away if the red brake light is on.
How often should brake fluid be serviced?
Check your owner’s manual for your vehicle. We’ll also check the condition of the fluid during an inspection.
What causes the ABS light to come on?
Common causes include a wheel speed sensor, wiring or low fluid. A scan and inspection will tell us which.
