Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal: This may signal air in the brake system or low brake fluid.

Vibrations When Braking: Can indicate warped brake discs or uneven wear.

Brake Warning Light: A dashboard warning light means your braking system should be checked as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a brake check important?

brake check is essential for ensuring your vehicle’s braking system is functioning properly. It helps identify any wear and tear or issues with the brake pads, discs, or fluid levels, preventing potential accidents and costly repairs.

It’s recommended to have your brakes checked every 6 months or during regular vehicle servicing. However, if you notice any unusual sounds, reduced braking performance, or vibrations while braking, it’s important to get them inspected immediately.

Common signs include:

  • Squeaking or grinding noises when braking.

  • Vibrations or pulsing in the brake pedal.

  • Reduced responsiveness or a spongy brake pedal.

  • The vehicle pulling to one side when braking.

  • brake warning light on your dashboard.

During a brake check, we will:

  • Inspect the brake pads and discs for wear.

  • Check the brake fluid levels.

  • Ensure the brake calipers are functioning correctly.

  • Test the overall brake system performance to ensure it’s operating safely.

A standard brake check typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the condition of your braking system and whether any repairs or replacements are required.
