Brakes that work properly are essential to your safety as you drive and stop on our Palm Desert streets. You want to carefully maintain your brakes. In vehicles equipped with drum brakes, the brake components are housed inside a drum that rotates with the wheel. Check out this video that explains more about your vehicle's drum brakes.
Since 2007, our family-owned and operated business has been meeting the automotive drum brake needs of Palm Desert and surrounding city drivers with complete transparency and honesty. Ozzie's Automotive is proud to be a AAA Approved facility and NAPA AutoCare Center, where we follow a strict code of ethics in how we conduct business and treat our customers.

Our entire team works very hard to uphold our reputation for accurate drum brake services and repairs as well as other automotive services and automotive repairs, proving ourselves to be your trusted alternative to any dealership.
When you step on the brake pedal, brake shoes push out against the inside of the drum, slowing the wheel. Now, brake shoes just wear away with use from rubbing on the drum as you brake. When it's time to replace brake shoes, it's a straight-forward repair. If you hear squealing or grinding when braking, have your service advisor check them out. He'll have a technician perform a thorough brake inspection to see what needs to be done. He'll check for signs of brake problems and go over other brake components to see that they're working properly.
