Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my brake pads need replacing?

Common signs include a squealing or grinding noise when braking, a vibrating brake pedal, the car pulling to one side, or a spongy pedal feel. If you notice any of these, book a brake check immediately.

How often should brake fluid be changed?

Brake fluid should typically be changed every 2 years. Over time it absorbs moisture which reduces its effectiveness and can cause internal corrosion in the braking system.

Is it safe to drive with grinding brakes?

No. Grinding brakes mean the friction material has worn away completely and metal is contacting metal. This significantly reduces stopping power and can damage your brake discs, leading to a much more expensive repair.
