Your brakes are one of the most critical components of your vehicle when it comes to safety. Don’t wait until a problem arises – regular checks and maintenance are essential to ensure your braking system performs reliably when you need it most.
At Automotive Instincts in Reservoir, we prioritise the safety and performance of your car. During every full car service, we conduct a thorough 65-point vehicle inspection, including an assessment of your brakes. Our experienced team will inform you of any signs that your braking system requires servicing or repairs, helping to address issues early before they become costly or potentially dangerous.
Potential Brake Issues
Brakes can show various signs that they may need attention. For instance, if you notice squeaking or grinding noises when braking, reduced responsiveness, a spongy or hard brake pedal, or if your car pulls to one side while braking, these could all indicate problems within your brake system. Delaying brake repairs could lead to more severe damage, reduced stopping power, or, in some cases, complete brake failure. It’s always better to address these concerns promptly to ensure your safety on the road.
Brake issues may stem from worn brake pads, low or contaminated brake fluid, damaged brake lines, warped discs, or malfunctioning callipers. At Automotive Instincts, we have the expertise and tools to diagnose these problems accurately and recommend the appropriate course of action.
