Brake Repair Service

Are your brakes squealing every time you stop? Hilltop can fix that, or replace your breaks if they’re worn out. A vehicle without functioning brakes is very dangerous, and often, you’ll be able to tell if your brakes need service (obvious signs listed below). Don't wait until your old brakes cause an accident because by then, it’s too late. Call and schedule a replacement appointment or a FREE Brake Check today!

Hilltop has three locations so wherever you are in the metro, you don’t have to go far. We have locations downtown, in northeast Des Moines, and in Johnston.

What does a brake job cost?

Brake systems are tough to provide accurate quotes for. Your brake system consists of many different parts that can be repaired individually, or altogether. This is why we don’t provide quotes for a brake job over the phone or online. When you bring your car or truck into one of our shops for a brake check, a technician will perform a thorough brake evaluation to determine exactly what brake repairs are necessary. Then, we'll provide you with an estimate before starting any brake service, so you’re in complete control of your repairs.

The moment you notice any brake warning signs, contact us immediately by phone, or email. We'll set you up with a brake inspection and get you back on the road and stopping when you need to!
