Frequently AskedQuestions
How often should I get my brakes inspected?
To have a properly functioning braking system is very crucial for the driver’s safety and early detection is the key to maintaining your brakes performance. Ideally, it is wise to get your brakes inspected at each 6 monthly service and certainly at the first signs of a brake problem. In addition to that, routine checkups provide you with a chance to detect small repairs as compared to more costly ones at a later time.
My car makes a squeaking noise while driving which goes away when I apply the brake. What is wrong?
When the brake pads are worn out excessively, their “wear indicators” touch the disc brake rotor. When this occurs, the sensors produce that high pitched noise to warn you about your cars braking system and that they need immediate attention.
My car brakes squeak when I apply them. Is there a problem?
Factors such as traffic congestion, abusive braking, and dusty weather can all cause unwanted brake noise. These conditions promote glazing or crystallization of the brake pad surface, causing it to harden and make that squeaking noise. It is essential to get the braking system evaluated by an expert. One faulty part can lead to a chain reaction of failures in other components, which must be detected before a complete failure of the brake system occurs.
