Orange County Brake Service

My car needed brakes pretty badly. Of course, I put it off until the longest possible - since my only option was my trusty VW mechanic guy who wanted me to drop my car off on Friday "for the weekend" - and pick it up Monday. Which means I'm out of my car for a whole weekend. Not really feasible. The rear brakes got to the point where I could hear a unnerving grinding noise when I would brake - which would subsequently make me change my driving habits in that I would brake earlier than usual in an attempt to "baby" whatever's left of my brakes - inadvertently pissing off other drivers around me since I would start to apply brake pressure well before getting to a light. I started to look on Yelp for a brake service closer to work, and while searching specifically for services that opened later in the evening, I came across EZ Brakes - Mobile Brake Service. I was intrigued - a mobile brake service? That's convenient if it's true. I started to skim the reviews... all five star reviews - which for any other business is a good sign - but for a relatively newer business, and as someone who has been on Yelp practically forever - I started to get suspicious. Really? All these stellar five star reviews? Not one bad or subpar review? Admittedly I wasn't sold until I remembered a few years back when I was looking for a smog check business and also stumbled across a Yelp page of a business that had similarly five-star reviews from relatively new accounts. I gave that business a shot anyway, and quickly realized that those reviews were most likely legitimate. Since I knew work had a complicated parking situation, I met Parker at a place more convenient to the both of us - and he got to work right away on my rear brakes. Service was prompt and quick - and the work was done in a little over an hour and a half. The whole time he comfortably made conversation while I waited for the rear brake pads to be replaced. When it was time to pay, the total came up much higher than the quote I had received - but I figured it was the cost of just getting the rear pads removed (instead of all four), and completed the payment. Driving away, I was happy that my brakes didn't make that grinding noise anymore, and I was left content. A few hours later, Parker sent me an email admitting that he may have mistakenly overcharged me and that he would be processing a partial refund to address the overcharge. Overall, a honest and professional business run by Parker and family. I'm all for supporting locally owned businesses (instead of being ripped off by dealerships) - and they come to your work or home! Prompt and efficient service - need to reach out to him now to get my front pads replaced.

By far the most convenient, professional, and honest car service I have ever had. These guys know what they are doing and they do it so quickly too. Definitely bookmarking their business for any future brake services needs. The previous reviews are true, you won't regret picking them to replace your brakes.

Parker is Awesome!! just a really good guy, who cares and it shows!! The very best of the best!! The service and work were World Class!! Everything was Perfect in all Regards!

Parker and Chase just left. What to say? Easy experience and very professional. I called Wednesday, they checked in this morning as they were running early from their prior appointment and they were in and out within an hour. The brothers were efficient, hospitable (my three kids and I hung out and chatted), and were knowledgeable about their craft. Best part, they come to you. We didn't have to shuttle three car seats out of the van into the other vehicle or sit for hours at a service center on their schedule. I am a proponent of supporting local, family-owned and operated businesses and these guys deserve a call if you're looking for brake service.

I took my daughter's VW Beetle to the dealer for a full inspection before she took the car away to college. They gave me a quote to get the rear brake pads replaced that I thought was way too high. I found EZ-Brake through through Yelp and Parker gave me a quick quote that was less than half of the dealer's estimate. We set up an appointment and Parker and his brother showed up on time and did the job right in my driveway in about 30 minutes. There were no surprises or up-selling from this team. Test drove the car and the brakes work perfectly. Great experience overall!

These guys came out to my apartment and replaced my break pads so fast! They gave me a quote the night before and arrived at my place the next morning! They were fast, friendly, professional & clean & reasonably priced.I highly recommend them...Just told my coworkers about them and now they will be giving them a call too! Thanks guys!

These guys are the best! They came to my workplace and did my brakes while I was working. Extremely convenient and hassle free. Quick response time with an accurate estimate. They were able to give me same day service within a couple of hours after inquiring. Job was done in about an hour. Excellent customer service. I will definitely use them again and recommend them. Thanks guys!

These guys are great, accommodating, and knowledgeable! I wasn't sure if I had issues with my front brakes or back brakes, but asked them to quote me for all the scenarios including rotor replacement. They gave me 3 quotes assuming worst case scenarios and it was price very reasonably. After they arrived and inspected everything, they were upfront about the condition of my brakes and told me I still had some thickness which meant they were fine and so were the rotors. I still asked for the brake pads to be replaced. Continue reading if you want to know why and it will also explain why I think they're knowledgeable. To start, I've been having issues with squeaky brakes since they were changed at a different shop over a year ago. The owner of the shop waited until they replaced everything to tell me squeaking was normal for most performance brake pads and it would only squeak in the morning. I didn't think anything of it because it was my second brake change with them (no issues the first time). A few weeks went by with no squeaking so I figured everything was fine. But then it got worse and worse so I thought he sold me some cheap brake pads. Took it to another shop for an inspection and the owner of that shop told me brakes should never squeak. After inspecting it, he was dumbfounded and told me my brakes were good brakes (I was not lied to) and still very thick so all he did was surfaced the rotors a little in case that was the culprit. After hearing that I felt more relieved, but the squeak came back the next day. For a few months it would come and go, so I ignored it until recently when it just became worse. It even squeaked at crawling speeds and it was embarrassing. After explaining my problem to EZ Brake, they told me the original shop gave me metallic brake pads without even inspecting it. Also told me it wasn't a bad thing but they tend to squeak, which was why they use ceramic brake pads. It was an easy diagnose and they were absolutely right. The second shop I took it to couldn't even figure that out after inspecting it.

Car repairs can be a pain in the butt. Especially having to leave your car at a shop not knowing what they are doing to it. Well all that unknown has just been thrown out the window. I message parker here at EZ brakes last night and made an appointment for 2pm on a Saturday. Not only was he on time, he was early because he text me and said his previous job was complete and come early if I like. I liked!!! Parker and his brother arrived and were professional and started right away. All 4 pads were installed and done within an hour. Worth the price and worth the convenience. I would totally recommend this service. 5 stars and more to this business.

Honest, Easy, fast, CONVENIENT. All of it checks off with these guys. These dudes are legit!!! A family business that truly emphasis quality and speedy service. More importantly I love their transparency and honest diagnosis. Great concept with service. My breaks were worn down to the metal. I reached out and got a reply right away from Parker. I explained what was wrong and in a matter of minutes was given a quote. I agreed to have them come to my workplace parking garage where my car was parked. Upon arrival I was greeted by Parker and his brother and learned it's family business. I gave them the keys and they went to work. Come to find out, the diagnosis I gave them (front brakes) was totally wrong. They provided pictures of it and proceeded to fix the rear brakes. When all was said and done I had a great conversation with them and back to work I went. If your brakes need a fixing, call them because the minutes you get back from not having to drive to a shop and wait a few hours is well worth the money. Thanks boys!
