Booking a brake installation isn’t just about finding the next available spot — it’s about making sure the job is done right, the first time, without hidden risks or costs.
Before you hand over your keys, ask these 5 smart questions — and see how confidently they answer.
1. Are You Certified to Install the Parts I'm Buying?
Not every mechanic is trained for every brand. Ask directly: "Are you certified for the brake kit I’m installing?"
With Max Advanced Brakes, using a Certified Installer means:
- Verified training.
- Correct install procedures for our specific pads and rotors.
- Warranty protection for parts and labor.
2. What Exactly Does Your Brake Service Include?
Don’t just accept "pad and rotor install" at face value. Ask for the full breakdown:
- Hardware kit installation (clips, shims, pins)?
- Caliper cleaning and lubrication?
- Brake fluid inspection?
A proper brake job isn’t just bolting on parts — it’s restoring full system performance.
3. Are There Any Extra Fees I Should Know About?
Shops love quoting one price — and then hitting you with:
- Shop supply fees
- Brake hardware add-ons
- Environmental charges
Ask directly: "Is everything included in the quote — parts, labor, hardware, taxes?"
With Max Certified Installers:
- No surprise fees.
- All-in-one pricing.
4. What Kind of Parts Will You Install?
Make sure you're getting exactly what you ordered. Ask: "Will you be installing the Max Advanced Brakes kit I purchased — not swapping brands?"
Certified Installers are contractually required to:
- Install the specific Max kit booked.
- Never substitute with cheaper or off-brand parts.
5. What Warranty Do You Provide?
Trustworthy installers back their work. Ask clearly: "What warranty do you offer on both the parts and the labor?"
With Max Certified Installers:
- Full Max manufacturer’s parts warranty.
- Full installation workmanship warranty.
No runaround. No blame games.
Final Thought: Good Installers Love These Questions
If your installer hesitates, dodges, or gets defensive — walk away. Professional, certified installers will appreciate that you care about doing it right.
