I was traveling from Texas to Kansas City, moving all my belongings out of storage, when my trailer tire blew out and the lug nuts sheared clean off. To make matters worse, it was Mother's Day (Sunday), and no one was answering their phones. Not really knowing the area, I found J10 Auto online and saw the 5-star review. However, I must admit I was still skeptical, but I really didn't have many options. Thankfully, Jackie answered the phone on Mother's Day and had me back up and running the very next day. The back story is I had just started a new job in Kansas City and couldn't afford to miss work that Monday. Jackie let me leave my trailer, loaded with all my belongings, safely in his backyard overnight so I could make it to work. When I came back to pick it up, everything was exactly as I left it. Great service, trustworthy people, and someone who genuinely helped me out in a stressful situation. Thanks again, Jackie — you're the man! I know now that anytime I'm in Wichita KS area, I know who to come see.

Common questions and tips from our work with Peck customers.
- How do I know my brakes need work?
- Listen for squealing or grinding when you slow down, and notice a pedal that feels soft or sinks lower than usual. A shake in the steering wheel while braking often points to rotors, and pulling to one side can mean a sticking caliper. A brake warning light on the dash deserves a prompt look.
- Do I need new rotors or just brake pads?
- It depends on how the rotors measure and look. Pads wear by design, and rotors can often stay if they're smooth and thick enough. Deep grooves, heat spots or a pulsing pedal usually mean they should be replaced. Driving on worn pads until they grind can damage rotors that might otherwise have been fine.
Tip
Don't wait on a grinding brake noise
Grinding usually means the pad material is gone and metal is touching the rotor. That wears the rotor quickly and can turn a simple pad job into a larger repair. It also makes the car take longer to stop. If you hear it, limit your driving and call to get the brakes looked at.
