C.H. Topping has specialized in automotive braking systems since 1931. They are the “one stop brake shop” for anything brake related. They have a full machine shop, a full service shop, which includes “on the car” work, and they re-line friction surfaces in-house. They take pride in what they do and are trusted by industry professionals and various car museums. Their team can handle any brake related challenge. They fix the “tough” braking issues that other shops and local dealerships cannot handle. They also do the brakes on “daily drivers”. Whether you drive a Honda or a vintage Ferrari race car they are able to maximize your braking potential and fine tune the braking system to meet your needs.
Vince Bunting has owned C.H. Topping brakes for over 35 years. Vinny Bunting, Vince’s son, has been helping his dad in the business since he was a kid. Vinny was born and raised in Long Beach, he graduated with a degree in fire science and mechanical engineering from Cal State Long Beach. He has been offered jobs at SpaceX and JPL but has instead to work with his father at CH Topping and work on special projects on the side. Vinny is now an associate member of the Execs.
Vinny’s talk gave us insight into what work they do at CH Topping Brakes.
