Join Us in Supporting Breast Cancer Research

***DUE TO PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES, I'M UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE AT THE MOMENT, BUT SOMEONE ALWAYS HAS BREAST CANCER, SO IF WE HAVE TO DO IT DURING A MONTH WHERE PEOPLE STOP CARING ABOUT IT, WE WILL***

Through October, Mobile Auto Programming is offering free brake pads in Tyler, TX. This initiative supports Brake for Breasts, a non-profit research team dedicated to developing a vaccine to prevent breast cancer. They’re moving to phase two of trials soon! For more information, check out Brake for Breasts.

How It Works

Here's the scoop: a part supplier donates the brake pads at no cost. I only charge for labor, and 10% of that labor goes to Brake for Breasts. They use 100% of the funding to further their research. Right now, no part vendors are on board, but I want to help this worthy cause. So, I’ll buy the pads myself and donate 10% of the labor. The goal? Break even—because, let’s be real, I need to eat too! Haha.

Safety Inspections

I want to be upfront and honest with you. I’ll do a safety inspection of your vehicle. I’ll recommend what needs fixing, what’s on its way out, and what looks good. You’re under no obligation to have me repair anything I recommend. I’m not here to upsell you. I only suggest changes that I believe will improve your safety. I never want anyone to feel like I’ve taken advantage of them.

Student Assistance

At the last board meeting for TJC, I mentioned that students might help out. Just a heads up: since they lack experience, I’ll supervise any student performing the work. I have a strict "we don't mess around with brakes" policy. Everything will be done to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Where to Find Me

I’ll be located behind 225 E Amherst Dr Suite 1100, Tyler, TX. If you follow the parking lot on the right side, you can get behind the buildings. I plan to be there from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, possibly until 6:00 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. I’m open to adjusting those days and hours based on demand.

If you’re interested, feel free to text me at 903-574-4277. I can set you up with an appointment or just get an idea of how busy I’ll be. You can also reach me on Facebook.

Why Brake Pads Matter

Brake pads are crucial for your vehicle's safety. They help stop your car effectively, ensuring you and your passengers stay safe on the road. Worn-out pads can lead to longer stopping distances and even brake failure. So, keeping an eye on your brake pads is essential.

The Importance of Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your vehicle running smoothly. It can save you money in the long run by preventing costly repairs. Plus, it ensures your car is safe to drive. I recommend checking your brakes at least once a year or more frequently if you drive a lot.

What to Expect During a Brake Inspection

During a brake inspection, I’ll check the thickness of your brake pads, the condition of your rotors, and the brake fluid level. I’ll also listen for any unusual sounds when you brake. If something doesn’t look right, I’ll let you know.

Tips for Maintaining Your Brakes

Listen for Noises: If you hear squeaking or grinding, it’s time to get your brakes checked.
Feel for Vibration: If your steering wheel shakes when you brake, it could indicate a problem.
Check Brake Fluid: Low brake fluid can affect your braking performance. Make sure it’s at the right level.
Don’t Ignore Warning Lights: If your dashboard shows a brake warning light, don’t wait to get it checked.

Conclusion

I’m excited to offer this service and support a great cause. Remember, your safety is my priority. If you need brake pads or just want to chat about your vehicle, don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s keep you safe on the road!
