For Leslie, mobile brake repair in Ogden was a great option since she was tied up at work and didn’t have time to wait at a local repair shop. She noticed a grinding noise coming from the rear of her 2014 Nissan Altima. She found Mobile Brake Pro online and checked out our instant quote page. The price for brake pads and rotors replacement was fair and transparent, so she decided to book with us.
Even though she was at work and couldn’t pick up our call, we got notified and were able to text with her so we knew what she needed. She had originally asked for brake pads on all four wheels, but we brought pads and rotors just in case. We always try to save rotors if we can, but when brakes are grinding, it usually means the pads are worn down enough that the backing plate is rubbing on the rotor. In that case, replacing both brake pads and rotors is the safest choice.
Within about an hour, we found the OEM parts for her 2014 Nissan Altima and hit the road to Ogden. Meeting Leslie in person was such a pleasure. Since she was busy, we grabbed the keys and got started on her mobile brake service.
After taking off the rear wheels, we quickly found the problem. The rear inside brake pad had worn all the way down to metal-on-metal, causing the grinding noise. Both sides of the axel were in about the same shape.

We get it, we all get busy. This 2014 Nissan Altima was in need of some brake pads and rotors TLC. Fortunately, we had all the parts and tools we needed so after assessing the situation we needed to get Leslie’s thoughts and approval before we replace both pads and rotors. In this case, it would have been unsafe for us to put new pads on damaged rotors and she understood that it wasn’t safe.
This is something we see all the time with busy drivers. We texted Leslie to let her know what we found, and after she took a quick look at the rotors, she asked us to replace them too. We installed the new rear brake pads and rotors, cleaned and lubricated everything, and put the wheels back on.
Next, we checked the front brakes. The rotors were about two millimeters thick. The pads weren’t completely gone, but that’s the point when it’s smart to replace them. We put on new front brake pads and were able to save the front rotors.
Leslie loved that our mobile brake service meant she didn’t have to take time out of her day waiting at a shop. She appreciated the convenience, affordable pricing, and quick service of mobile brake repair.
It was a joy working with Leslie and getting to know her! Leslie’s kindness and humor reminded us why we love what we do. Mobile Brake Repair is what we do best. Meeting amazing people and helping them with affordable brake repair is what makes our work worthwhile.
