      Excellent place to get your brakes done. No non-sense, tech pulled all four tires off my car and showed me exactly with a measurement tool how much brake pad was left. My rotors were still good just did pads. Fast, efficient, honest and quality pads were installed, they are silent just like OEN. Highly recommended, will be back for the rears. I have a 2014 Ford Edge Sport.

      Fast service, fair prices...Made an appointment the day before. Was in and out in less than 40 minutes for the rear brake pads on my Rav 4. I'll be back the next time I need brakes done.

      Took my car to dealership for service. Got a strong recommendation to put new brakes on asap. Went to just brakes for a second opinion and got a more reasonable approach and details about how much longer my brakes will last and when to come back.

      Communication was easy by phone, appointment was quick and efficient, service was honest and showed expertise. Can't recommend this place enough. I'll be back for sure.

      Called to book an appointment for the brake replacement for my Honda Odyssey at 1:30pm, was given a slot for 2pm, and was done at 2:35pm!

      Asim was very friendly and explained the details thoroughly.

      Worth to mention that the parts a top quality for a wonderful price.

      Asim deserves more than five stars

      Got my car serviced at the dealership and was told I need new brakes and rotors. They quoted me ~$800 for the service, which I knew was absurd. I put in a request here on Yelp and found "Just Brakes." I'm so glad I did. I was quoted $525 and could get it done as early as the next day.

      I got this service done today. Asim was super kind and friendly. He was HONEST, which is so hard to come by with car services! He even walked me around to show me the measurements on the padding to confirm and provided his honest recommendation on what was urgent and what could wait in regards to service.

      I highly recommend this place if you are in need of new brake services. I will certainly be back when the time comes again!

      Just Brakes will be my go-to for brakes for as long as I'm in the Bay Area. I drive a Subaru STI and the dealership quoted me over $2k to replace my front brake pads and rotors. I knew this was way too much so I looked around and decided to go with Just Brakes. Asim was able to work around my schedule and made sure to use quality parts and I paid a fraction of what I would have had to pay at the dealership.
      It's been almost a week since my brakes were replaced and everything is working great and feels just as good as my OEM brakes. Even with all the rain over the last weekend my brakes were working flawlessly.
      If you're in need of brake pads or rotors, you won't find a better option than Just Brakes!

      I was in and out in about an hour. After the service, the mechanic showed me the old brakes (rotors) and provided helpful advice on how to maintain the quality of my brakes for the longest life. I will definitely go back next time I need brake service and highly recommend to anyone. The garage is neat and the appointment time was accurate.

      I brought my car there for brake replacement after being pushed from my toyota dealer.
      The shop owner is really kind, he took my appointment on the sunday when 99% auto shops are closed on sunday. After a few 10 mins inspect, open up the wheels, he lets me know that my break pad is still solid good for another over half a year. I truly appreciate his honesty and professionalism. I felt bad for wasting his appointment and offer up to pay for the time he spent inspecting the car. He refused.
      It was an unfortunate but at the same time i feel fortunate to find a reliable break service. Wish the shop offer more than "just break".
      Definitely bring my car here when it is need to deal with break!!!

      Asim was incredibly honest. Was told by another company that I needed new breaks. Came here and Asim inspected my car and said I didn't need them changed for 20,000 more miles. I'll be back next year!
