About Bush Power Brake Services

National City's Brake Experts Since 1975

A Local Legacy in Brake Repair

When it comes to brake repair, experience isn’t just a bonus — it’s a necessity. That’s why Bush Power Brake Services has been the trusted name in National City since 1975. We’ve spent over five decades doing one thing — and doing it right: brake work for cars, trucks, commercial fleets, and vintage vehicles.

Founded by Steve Bush, a hands-on technician with a passion for precision and honesty, the shop was built on a simple promise: “Treat people the way I like to be treated.” That mindset still drives every job we take on today.

Meet the Founder – Steve Bush

Steve Bush started working on cars at a young age, drawn to the mechanical challenge of making vehicles safer and more reliable. In 1975, he opened his own shop in National City, choosing to specialize in what most shops only offered as a side service — brakes.

Over the years, Steve’s dedication to quality earned the trust of not only everyday drivers, but also city departments and commercial operators. Today, Bush Power Brake Services is known for handling complex brake jobs that chain shops won’t touch — especially those involving classic cars, custom brake lines, or power booster rebuilds.

From the start, Steve has treated every customer with the same respect and transparency he expects from others. That approach has earned him lifelong clients and a reputation for honesty, precision, and pride in workmanship.
