Comprehensive Brake Repair Services
We provide a full range of brake repair services to ensure your vehicle performs at its best. Our services include:
Anti-Lock Brake System
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) ensures your wheels keep rotating during braking, preventing skidding and providing better control. If your ABS light illuminates, visit Darrell's Firestone for a diagnosis and professional repair.
Brake Fluid Flushes
Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air over time, diminishing brake effectiveness and becoming corrosive, potentially harming the system. Regular brake fluid flushes are vital to ensure fresh fluid usage in your vehicle. Consult our technicians at Darrell's Firestone to determine the right time for a brake fluid flush.
Brake Hoses
A brake hose carries pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A damaged hose can lead to delayed or weak braking, and a leak may result in brake failure. While the need for a replacement brake hose isn't common, any signs of cracking or wear should prompt immediate replacement.
Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement
Squealing brakes often indicate brake pad issues. When brake pads deteriorate completely, a harsh metal-on-metal grinding noise occurs during braking, indicating potential rotor or drum damage. Although experienced individuals may attempt home repairs, if you have brake concerns, it's best to consult an auto repair professional promptly.
Caliper Replacement
The brake caliper houses brake pads and clamps around the rotor to apply pressure during braking. Caliper problems can cause uneven braking, leading to skidding during braking and loss of control in adverse weather conditions. Contact Darrell's Firestone in Farmington at your earliest convenience for assistance.
Resurface Rotors
In a disc brake system, rotors attach to your vehicle's wheels. The friction with brake pads over time creates grooves and cracks. The process of resurfacing restores rotors to a "like-new" condition, reducing noise and wobbling. At Darrell's Firestone, we inspect your rotors thoroughly and recommend the best course of action.

FAQs About Brakes
Why are my brakes making a grinding noise?
A grinding sound from your brakes often signals that they're severely worn and require immediate attention. This noise typically means the brake pads have worn down to the rotors.
Why are my brakes squeaking?
Squeaking brakes can result from small stones or debris caught in the pads, or it may indicate that the pads are wearing thin. It's a sign that your brakes might need inspection or replacement.
Why are my brakes making a burning smell?
A burning smell from your brakes can occur if they overheat from excessive use. If you notice a chemical odor or smoke, pull over safely and allow the brakes to cool to avoid further damage.
Why are my brakes vibrating?
Vibration when braking usually points to an issue with uneven rotor surfaces. Over time, rotors can wear unevenly, causing vibrations through the steering wheel when you apply the brakes.
What are the 3 signs that brake pads are worn?
Common signs of worn brake pads include squeaking noises, grinding sounds, and the brake warning light illuminating on your dashboard.

First off - EXCELLENT service! My wife needed some brake work on her Mercedes and was able to get in the same day at Darrell's Firestone in Farmington Hills. We dropped her car off and Darrell's team called with an estimate. We gave the go ahead and they got to work fixing her brakes. My wife had other work to be done (her Mercedes has about 80k miles on it) so she let them have it for a couple days to get everything looked at. Darrell's provided her a loaner vehicle to use to get to and from work at no additional cost. Everything was done right and we couldn't be happier with the service.

What our clients are saying about us

Great mechanics. They communicated with me through the process and were able to get all the work done the same day.
We’ve taken our vehicles to Darrell’s Firestone a few times for various repairs. I’ve always had a good experience with their service and prices. This past experience was so good that I had to come post a review. I had driven my car on Saturday and everything was fine. The next morning it would crank over but not start. I took the battery out and had it tested at Autozone. They said it tested bad and was only at 50% charged. It was 4yrs old so I bought a new one. Put that one in and the car did the same thing. Cranked over good but wouldn’t start. I had the vehicle towed to Darrell’s on Monday morning and they started working on it that afternoon. After working to troubleshoot the issue for most of Tuesday, their tech identified the issue as a fuel pump driver module. Their price for the part and service were more than fair considering how much time and effort went into diagnosing the issue since the computer codes didn’t offer much help. Can recommend these guys enough. Hopefully I don’t have any more issues anytime soon, it if I do, I know where I’m taking my car.
