Brake Repair & Service in Gurnee, IL
Your brakes are the most critical safety system on your vehicle. When you press the pedal, you need to know your car will stop – every time, without fail.
At McClure’s Garage, we’ve been keeping Lake County drivers safe since 1910. Our ASE-certified technicians inspect, repair, and replace brake components for all makes and models.
