mechanic repairing brakes

Obviously, your brakes are pretty important. At Bowles Automotive in Mooresville, we are here to make sure your car, truck, or SUV stops as it should.

Your brake system is made of many components that all have to work correctly for your brakes to operate seamlessly. If one thing needs to be repaired, the whole system is compromised. Brake pads, rotors, hoses, calipers, and metal lines all play a part in stopping your car. Our team is equipped to make sure all of those parts are in working order, so you can be safe on the road ahead.

At Bowles Automotive in Mooresville, NC, it’s important to us that you see the value in the work we do. Over the course of the past decade, depending on what type of car, truck, or SUV you drive, it may seem like oil changes have gotten more expensive, and there’s a lot of differentiation in pricing at different locations. What’s going on?

There is a reason we check your brake fluid when you come in for a service check. Maintenance pays big dividends and we want to avoid high repair costs for our Mooresville drivers. Did you know that brake service isn't just all about the brake pads, drums & rotors? That we have found low brake fluid to be the cause of a large percentage of brake issues here at Bowles Automotive? Seriously, brake fluid is an important part of your braking system and with your service intervals being less frequent on the newer vehicles 5,000-10,000 more miles this has become an issue! Why?...

U-joints are a small, simple component - in fact, they have changed much since the very first automobiles. However, on any vehicle with a driveshaft, its ability to move depends entirely on the u-joint being there. You’ll often hear “maybe it’s the u-joints” as a solution offered for problems with a vehicle - but what are they, what do they do, and how do you know if yours is bad? Bowles Automotive in Mooresville, NC has the answers.

Best ever. I have been to a ton of auto repair shops, and this is the one. I'm never going to another one again. They are super nice and helpful and HONEST. - Melissa O (5 star review found on Google)

They took my car on short notice and got it back by end of day as promised. Most other places would not do that. They charged 1/2 the quote I got from a 'rip-off' gas station mechanic and almost 20% less than other more reasonable quotes. They're good guys. - Jerry W (5 star review found on Google)
