Brakes on a Budget: How Our $79 Brake Pad Special Keeps You Safe Without Breaking the Bank

When it comes to vehicle safety, few systems are as critical as your brakes. Whether you're cruising the streets of Edmonton or navigating unpredictable weather, reliable braking ensures you stay in control. Unfortunately, many vehicle owners delay necessary brake repairs due to cost concerns. At GOOD NEWS AUTO, we understand this hesitation, and we’re here to change the narrative. That’s why we’re proud to offer our $79 Brake Pad Special—a reliable, affordable solution that doesn’t compromise on safety.

Founded and operated by Chris Ferland, GOOD NEWS AUTO provides a full spectrum of automotive repair and maintenance services. From Standard Maintenance to Engine Services, Suspension Repair, Transmission Services, Brake Repairs, and Tire Sales, we do it all. But today, we’re zooming in on one vital area: brakes—and how our $79 special helps you protect your car, your passengers, and your wallet.

Why Brakes Matter More Than You Think

Your brakes are the only thing standing between a safe stop and a serious accident. When working correctly, the brake system responds instantly and consistently. However, worn brake pads reduce stopping power and increase your risk on the road.

Even worse, driving on worn brake pads can damage rotors and calipers, leading to much more expensive repairs. For this reason, timely brake service isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Still, many drivers ignore the early signs of brake wear. Whether it's a squealing sound, increased stopping distance, or a spongy pedal, these symptoms often go unchecked due to budget constraints. That’s precisely why GOOD NEWS AUTO developed our $79 Brake Pad Special—to make proactive brake care easy and accessible.

What’s Included in the $79 Brake Pad Special?

You might wonder, “What does $79 really get me?” Quite a lot, actually.

This deal includes brand-new brake pads installed by skilled, certified technicians. Our team will remove your old pads, install the new ones, and ensure everything is torqued and aligned according to manufacturer specifications. We’ll also perform a comprehensive inspection of your braking system to check for wear on rotors, calipers, and fluid levels.

Because we believe in doing things right, we don’t treat this service as a "quick-fix." We make sure every detail aligns with our quality-first approach.

In fact, we use only trusted, industry-grade parts designed for long-lasting performance. Even though the price is budget-friendly, our standards remain sky-high.

Why This Special Is a Smart Investment

Brake issues rarely fix themselves. If anything, they worsen over time and can lead to dangerously expensive repairs down the road. Choosing our $79 Brake Pad Special prevents further damage while offering peace of mind.

Let’s put things into perspective.

A full brake system overhaul—replacing pads, rotors, calipers, and brake lines—can cost over $1,000. By spending just $79 today, you significantly reduce the chance of facing that kind of bill later. This is not just about saving money. It’s about preserving your car’s lifespan and improving your driving confidence.

Designed for Edmonton Drivers

Edmonton roads, especially during harsh winters, can be tough on brakes. Snow, ice, gravel, and road salt speed up brake pad deterioration. Therefore, staying ahead of wear becomes even more important for local drivers.

GOOD NEWS AUTO has proudly served the Edmonton community for years. Because we understand these conditions, we tailor our services to meet local needs. Our $79 Brake Pad Special was designed with both urban and rural drivers in mind. We know what your vehicle goes through—and we’ve structured our pricing to match.

More Than Just Brake Pads

When you bring your vehicle to GOOD NEWS AUTO for brake service, you get more than just new pads. You get the advantage of working with an experienced team that knows cars inside and out.

Our technicians use their inspections to catch problems early. Whether it’s fluid contamination, rotor warping, or signs of uneven wear, we’ll let you know. In doing so, we help you plan future repairs on your terms—not when your car forces you to.

Plus, while you’re here, we’ll let you know if your car could benefit from other services. Our specialties include Standard Maintenance like oil changes, filter replacements, and fluid top-offs, as well as complex repairs like Engine Diagnostics, Suspension Repairs, and Transmission Overhauls.

Need new tires while you’re at it? We offer quality brands and expert installation to keep your vehicle in peak condition, season after season.
