We understand the importance of a comprehensive brake service to maintain the performance and reliability of your braking system. When you bring your vehicle to us for a brake service, you can expect the following:
Our technicians will conduct a thorough inspection of your entire braking system. This inspection includes all brake parts, such as the brake pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, and brake fluid. This inspection allows us to identify any signs of wear, damage, or potential issues that may decrease your braking performance.
Brake pads are essential components that provide the necessary friction to slow down and stop your vehicle. Over time, they wear down and become less effective. If our inspection reveals worn or thin brake pads, we recommend replacing them. We provide high-quality pads that meet and exceed manufacturer specifications.
The brake rotors are responsible for providing a smooth and even surface for the brake pads to grip. If our inspection reveals warped, worn, or uneven rotors, we may recommend replacing them. This replacement ensures optimal braking performance and prevents issues like brake pulsation.
Brake fluid plays a vital role in transferring the force from your brake pedal to the braking system components. Over time, brake fluid can become contaminated, affecting its performance. During a brake service, we will check the condition of your brake fluid and recommend an exchange if necessary. This will maintain proper hydraulic pressure and prevent damage to the brake system.
Brake calipers house the brake pads and are essential for properly functioning brakes. Our technicians will inspect the calipers for any signs of damage, leaks, or sticking. We will clean, lubricate, or replace the calipers if needed to ensure optimal brake performance.
Brake lines are responsible for carrying brake fluid to the various components of your braking system. We will inspect the brake lines for any signs of leaks, corrosion, or damage. If any issues are found, we will recommend repair or replacement to prevent brake failure.
The frequency of brake service depends on various factors, including driving habits, vehicle type, and environmental conditions. As a general guideline, it is recommended to have a brake service performed every 30,000 to 45,000 kilometres. Regardless, it’s important to pay attention to any signs that indicate your brakes aren’t working properly.
Also, certain situations may require more urgent brake service. If you notice any of the following warning signs, bring your vehicle to our shop as soon as possible:
If the brake warning light on your dashboard is lit, it indicates a potential issue with your braking system. Our technicians can diagnose the problem and perform the necessary repairs.
Unusual noises while braking, such as squealing, grinding, or scraping sounds, may indicate worn brake pads or other underlying issues. Prompt attention is necessary to prevent further damage and ensure your safety.
Is your vehicle taking longer to come to a complete stop, or are you experience a loss of braking power? If so, it is crucial to have your brakes inspected promptly.
Vibrations or pulsations felt through the brake pedal or steering wheel while braking can indicate problems with the rotors or other components. Addressing these issues as soon as possible is essential to maintain safe braking performance.
