Revolution

We all live in a world where commuting is constantly changing. We want to have more and be fast! We are living with increasing demand for power, speed and economy! We want to focus on another critical feature, how to make you brake faster, safer and more accurate. Is this a revolution? Maybe.

A tuned engine will get you up to speed. Tuned brakes will get you back Home!

That’s why we run a very efficient shop with very low overhead to keep our prices low. So you can be assured you get the best value for money service and parts. The difference in cost between low end brake pads and high quality pads is negligible, but the difference in performance and longevity is great. We want your brake system to last for a long time and perform flawlessly.

Yes, we love to surf! And you may too! But...

Your Car is not a Surfboard!

There are 23 million estimated surfers around the world. None of them has a surfboard with brakes, however to reach a faraway beach, with a firing Break, they will need to have a car with good Brakes! The longest amount of time spent surfing one wave is 37 minutes. The longest amount of time spent without the need for working brakes is, well let’s just say, much, much less! While there are many great reasons you should get on a board, with free brake inspections, there are no great reasons you shouldn’t check your car’s brakes!

The End of Your Journey

It’s a good idea to have your brakes inspected every 12,000 miles or about once a year. If you are still looking for an honest and trustworthy mechanic, you’ve come to the right place! At South County Brakes we operate on the simple principles of honesty, integrity and customer satisfaction. When we evaluate your brake system, we will take the time to explain what needs replacing and what doesn’t. We will never sell you parts or services you don’t need.

We are Certified, Licensed and Insured for your Protection

Great service and good prices. Bill owns the place and knows his stuff. I had him do my range rover and now my Porsche. I like it when I can talk to the person who is actually working on my car.
