Maintaining Optimal Stopping Power
Given that a vehicle's brakes are one of the most crucial safety components, ensuring the safety of our customers is our top priority. Whether your brake pads indicate the need for replacement, your brake light is on, or you feel uneasy about your vehicle's deceleration, reach out to us at 843-293-2205 or visit our Myrtle Beach location. We're dedicated to promptly diagnosing the safety and reliability of your braking system.
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
Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) ensure that the wheels don't stop rotating during braking, preventing the car from skidding and offering greater control. If your ABS light comes on, visit Larry's Auto Clinic Inc. where we will be happy to diagnose and fix the problem.
Brake Fluid Flushes
Brake fluid will absorb water from the air over time, causing the brake system to become less effective and the fluid to become corrosive, possibly damaging the system. It is important to perform a brake fluid flush regularly to ensure that your vehicle is using fresh fluid. Talk to our technicians at Larry's Auto Clinic Inc. about when it's time for a brake fluid flush.
Brake Hoses
A brake hose is a tube carrying pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A crushed hose can cause a lagged or slow brake, and a leak in the hose can cause the brake, or the entire brake system, to fail. These don't need to be replaced often, but should be replaced at the first sign of cracking or wear.
Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement
Brake pad problems can usually be identified by squealing brakes. If your brake pads deteriorate completely, you'll hear a grinding metal-on-metal sound when braking, meaning that it's too late and you're ruining your rotors or drums! Those with knowledge of auto repair may be able to fix this at home, but you should always see an auto repair professional immediately if you have brake problems.
Caliper Replacement
The brake caliper houses your brake pads and fits around the rotor like a clamp, pressing the pads against the rotor when you brake. A brake caliper problem could cause uneven braking, making your car slide forward when you brake. Uneven braking can also cause your vehicle to slide out of control in bad weather conditions, so contact Larry's Auto Clinic Inc. as soon as possible.

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 Larry's Auto Clinic Inc. 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.

I am so happy with my experience at Larry's. They were so knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything. I brought my Jeep in not quite knowing what was wrong. It was diagnosed 1st thing in the morning and repaired that afternoon. All the while they explained it and presented the options clearly. I can't say enough good things! Very nice and knowledgeable people at a reasonable price.

Brakes, near Surfside Beach, SCHad a brake fluid leak, it turned out to be a proportioning valve. Larry had a hard time getting the part but up dated me on the issue in a timely manner. Got the job done and I was back on the road. Used him twice so far and will use again. Hats off to him and his team.

Testimonials
Martha Crews, 08/04/2025
I cannot say enough great things about Larry's Auto Clinic! I had car troubles while visiting the area from out of town and initially had it repaired by another company. The problem came back, so Larry's was able to fit me into their busy schedule on short notice. They were able to identify and fix the problem -- improper installation of the battery which then damaged a newly installed alternator and caused electrical issues. They were very thorough in making sure everything in my car was working properly so that I could safely and confidently drive my car back to Maryland. Throughout the whole process, their communications and customer service were outstanding! I highly recommend Larry's Auto Clinic!
