Comprehensive Brake Repair Services
We provide a full range of brake repair services to ensure your vehicle performs at its best. Our services include:
Anti-Lock Brake System
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) ensures your wheels keep rotating during braking, preventing skidding and providing better control. If your ABS light illuminates, visit Starks Auto Service for a diagnosis and professional repair.
Brake Fluid Flushes
Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air over time, diminishing brake effectiveness and becoming corrosive, potentially harming the system. Regular brake fluid flushes are vital to ensure fresh fluid usage in your vehicle. Consult our technicians at Starks Auto Service to determine the right time for a brake fluid flush.
Brake Hoses
A brake hose carries pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A damaged hose can lead to delayed or weak braking, and a leak may result in brake failure. While the need for a replacement brake hose isn't common, any signs of cracking or wear should prompt immediate replacement.
Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement
Squealing brakes often indicate brake pad issues. When brake pads deteriorate completely, a harsh metal-on-metal grinding noise occurs during braking, indicating potential rotor or drum damage. Although experienced individuals may attempt home repairs, if you have brake concerns, it's best to consult an auto repair professional promptly.
Caliper Replacement
The brake caliper houses brake pads and clamps around the rotor to apply pressure during braking. Caliper problems can cause uneven braking, leading to skidding during braking and loss of control in adverse weather conditions. Contact Starks Auto Service in Jonesboro at your earliest convenience for assistance.
Resurface Rotors
In a disc brake system, rotors attach to your vehicle's wheels. The friction with brake pads over time creates grooves and cracks. The process of resurfacing restores rotors to a "like-new" condition, reducing noise and wobbling. At Starks Auto Service, we inspect your rotors thoroughly and recommend the best course of action.

FAQs About Brakes
Why are my brakes squeaking?
Noises coming from your brakes do not usually indicate a high-cost auto repair. It could be a foreign object such as a small stone or road debris. It could also be a signal that your brake-pads are wearing out and need replacing. As brake pads wear bits of metal in your brake pad come in contact with the rotor to create a squeaking noise when you apply the brakes.
Why are my brakes making a grinding noise?
Grinding noises usually indicate that your car's brake system is overdue for maintenance. The grinding sound is usually caused by the brake pad being completely worn away or the brake shoe scraping on metal contact points.
Why are my brakes vibrating?
If your car shakes or vibrates or wobbles when you apply the brakes, it indicates that the thickness of your rotor is uneven. Brake rotors are large, perfectly round, smooth metal discs that sit inside of the wheels. When the disc has become misshapen or unevenly worn it will vibrate or wobble when you hit the brakes. Left uneven, the material will continue to build on the uneven spots, making the problem worse over time. Come to Starks Auto Service to get the face of your car's brake rotors resurfaced to fix the problem.
Why are my brakes making a burning smell?
Overheated brakes cause a noticeable burning chemical smell. Pull over to a safe place and allow the brakes to cool. Ensure you did not accidentally leave the parking brake on. If there's any smoke coming from a wheel, it may be that the brake caliper is malfunctioning and locked in place. In this case, it may be unsafe to continue driving.
What are the 3 signs that brake pads are worn?
The three most common sounds that indicate you need to replace your brake pads are squeaking, grinding or the dashboard brake indicator light coming on.

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
Imagine my frustration when the car I had just purchased from Carvana was making noises the same day that I received it. Then, having to call several numbers and speak with half a dozen Carvana and SilverRock representatives before being referred to Firestone, only to be told that they don't service Jaguars. After having to speak with several more representatives I was referred to Starks Auto Service. Honestly, I was geared up to be even more disappointed before I called, but upon speaking with Tony he put me at ease. He understood my frustration, was straight-forward, courteous, and easy to talk to. Diagnostics had to be run, and the water pump needed to be replaced. He took care of everything for me so promptly, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Tony is the man, and I can't sing his praises enough. I'm a new loyal customer, and will always recommend Starks to my family and friends. Thank you, Tony!!!
Starks auto truly saved us when I was 39 weeks pregnant and needed a new radiater. We had brought our two kids in who are absolutely wild, but it didnt matter to them, they were friendly to us and took the effort to put on the channel that would help our kids feel welcome and us parents more welcome as well, it made sense to go back for standard maintenance and to check our (new purchase) old car to see if everything looked good. We plan on making the hour drive for any maintenance from here on out. Welcoming, warm environment and the signs all over about God being in control really makes you feel better.
