Comprehensive Brake Repair
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 Hud's 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 Hud's 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 Hud's Auto Service in Lubbock 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 Hud's Auto Service, we inspect your rotors thoroughly and recommend the best course of action.

Brake FAQs
Learn about some of the common questions you may have:
Why are my brakes squeaking?
Squeaking from your brakes can be caused by a variety of factors, including debris like stones caught in the caliper, or it may indicate that the brake pads are wearing thin.
Why are my brakes making a grinding noise?
A grinding noise from your brakes often means urgent maintenance is needed. This sound can indicate that the brake pads have worn down completely, causing metal-to-metal contact that can damage your rotors.
Why are my brakes vibrating?
Vibration during braking is commonly due to uneven rotor surfaces. Misshapen rotors can cause the car to shake when the brakes are applied. Resurfacing or replacing the rotors at Hud's Auto Service can correct this issue and restore smooth braking.
Why are my brakes making a burning smell?
A burning smell from your brakes could indicate they are overheating. If you notice this along with smoke from the wheels, it's important to pull over safely and check if the brakes have cooled. Continuous driving could lead to further damage.
What are the 3 signs that brake pads are worn?
Common indicators that it's time to replace your brake pads include hearing squeaking or grinding noises and seeing the brake warning light on your dashboard.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Honest and fair. That's all you can ask for in an auto shop these days. And it's hard to find someone you can trust. Well, Hud's has proven themselves as a trustworthy business to me. They don't try to upsale or mislead you, and their prices are always fair. As an electrician, I know labor costs money. They do a good job labor wise and typically pretty quick too. They also stand by their warranty for any type of work done. They have taken care of my daughters car multiple times (it's an old car) and have always done a good job. I would definitely recommend Hud's for any type of auto work.

We have been back in Lubbock just over 2 years. When we asked for a good reputable shop, Huds came highly recommended! Since we have been back, we have had my Jeep in a few times now. (I know Just Empty Every Pocket) From the first hello when you call to schedule-to the time of pick up- their customer service has been top notch and will keep us coming back! Thank you to every team member at Huds for your warm welcomes, friendly smiles, honesty, and helping me NOT empty every pocket!
