Brake Pad Replacement in Apopka

Brake pads are one of the most commonly worn components in your vehicle. Over time, they wear down and lose their effectiveness — and when they get too thin, they can damage rotors and other brake parts.

We offer:

  • Standard and premium brake pad options

  • Ceramic and semi-metallic pads

  • Front and rear brake pad replacement

  • Rotor resurfacing or replacement when needed

Not sure what condition your pads are in? Stop by for a quick inspection — we’ll show you exactly what we see.

Brake Line Repair & Brake Fluid Service

A leak in your brake lines or low-quality brake fluid can lead to dangerous stopping conditions. At 1st Performance Automotive, we also specialize in:



  • Brake line leak detection and replacement


  • Brake hose inspections


  • Brake fluid flushes and top-offs


  • Full hydraulic system checks


Regular brake fluid maintenance helps ensure smooth braking performance and prevents corrosion in your system.
