Quick answer
How do I know I need new brake pads?
Most brake pads last 30,000 to 70,000 miles. Bring your vehicle in if you hear squealing or grinding, feel a soft or vibrating pedal, or see the brake warning light. Our free digital inspection measures remaining pad life and photographs it, so you fix it before it turns into a costlier rotor job.
What's included
- Brake pad and rotor inspection with measured pad life
- Pad, rotor, and caliper replacement
- Brake fluid flush and bleed
- Road test on local grades to confirm the fix
Built for the Yampa Valley
Hauling, towing, and long descents off the passes around the Yampa Valley wear brakes faster than flatland driving. We size pads and rotors for how Craig vehicles actually work.
Why Chapman's for this
- Free digital inspection with photos
- Transparent pricing, quoted before we start
- Loaner cars, shuttle & pickup
- 5yr / 50,000-mile warranty
What customers say
“Our brakes went out suddenly while we were in town and Chapman's took care of us! We requested some extra work while we were there, which included ordering some specialty parts. They were as fast as they could have been when squeezing us in last minute, and courteous as the day is long. Excellent customer service, keeping us as up to date as possible, not doing work until we approved it, and providing a loaner as we are not local and our truck is our only transport. Our truck is now in tip top shape and worthy to pull our rig again. Highly recommend this shop! Thank you Chapman's!”

Frequently asked questions
Squealing or grinding, a longer or softer pedal, a pulsing pedal when stopping, pulling to one side, or a dash brake light. Any of these means it is time for a check. Our free digital inspection measures pad and rotor wear so you know exactly where you stand.
Typically 30,000 to 70,000 miles, but trucks that tow or run steep grades wear faster. Our free inspection measures your exact remaining pad life so you replace them at the right time, not too early and not too late.
A standard pad replacement usually runs $180 to $350 per axle; adding rotors costs more. We measure first and give you a written estimate before any work, so you only pay for what is actually worn.
A squeal is often the built-in wear indicator telling you pads are low. Grinding usually means the pads are gone and metal is contacting the rotor, which can ruin rotors fast, so get it looked at right away.
We measure rotor thickness first. If they are within spec and not warped, we can often resurface them; if they are too thin or damaged, we replace them. Either way we tell you which and why before doing the work.
Most pad-and-rotor jobs are done the same day, often in a couple of hours. We offer a free loaner car if you need to keep moving while we work.
Yes. We service brakes on all makes and models, from half-ton and one-ton work trucks and diesels to European vehicles like BMW and Audi, using the correct pads and rotors for your vehicle.
Qualifying brake repairs are backed by our 5-year / 50,000-mile warranty on parts and labor, far longer than the typical shop's coverage, because we stand behind the work.
Worn brakes lengthen your stopping distance and can fail when you need them most, especially on the valley's grades and winter roads. If you hear grinding or feel a change in the pedal, have it checked before you drive far.
