Complete Brake Servicing
Your vehicle's braking system is one of the most critical components for your safety on the road. That's why it's crucial to maintain the system in good working condition and perform a complete brake servicing regularly. A complete brake service typically includes the inspection of all brake components, such as the rotors, callipers, brake pads, brake lines and the brake fluid. This inspection helps identify any worn-out parts or leaks in the brake system that may need to be repaired or replaced.
We recommend booking a complete brake servicing every six months, or when issues arise. To schedule in your vehicle, call us today on 5325 1120.

BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT
Brake pads are often the most common part of a brake system to need replacing. They are the friction material that presses against the rotors to stop the vehicle. Over time, the brake pads wear down and become less effective, making it necessary to replace them.
The most common sign that your brake pads need to be replaced is a squeaking or grinding noise when braking. This noise occurs when the brake pads have worn down to the point where the metal backing plate is making contact with the rotor. Other signs of worn brake pads include reduced stopping power, increased stopping distance, vibration or pulsation in the brake pedal and an illuminated brake warning light on the dashboard. If you don't replace your brake pads when they're worn out, it can cause damage to other brake components and have severe consequences, potentially even leading to a complete brake failure.
During a brake servicing, a mechanic will inspect the brake pads for signs of wear and replace them if necessary. It's vital to replace the brake pads when they are worn out to ensure optimal stopping power and to prevent damage to other brake components.

What To Do In A Brake Emergency
In emergency situations, such as sudden loss of braking power or a complete brake failure, remain calm and take the following steps:
• Gradually ease off the accelerator to slow down
• Downshift to a lower gear to use engine braking
• Pump the brake pedal to build up pressure in the system, if possible
• Use the emergency brake if necessary
In case of a complete brake failure, try to pull off the road safely and call for roadside assistance. Don't drive the vehicle again until the brake system has been repaired by a qualified mechanic.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Brake servicing involves inspecting and maintaining the brake system of a vehicle to ensure optimal performance and safety. This process typically includes checking the brake pads, discs, drums and fluid condition. It may also involve replacing worn components, bleeding the brake lines to remove air pockets and ensuring that all parts are functioning correctly.
It is recommended that you get your brakes serviced at least once a year or every 20,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. However, the frequency can vary depending on your driving habits, the conditions of the roads you frequently travel on, and the manufacturer's recommendations. Regular checks can help identify issues before they become serious, ensuring your vehicle remains safe to operate.
Brake pads should be replaced when they are worn down to less than 3 millimetres in thickness. Signs that your brake pads need replacing include a high-pitched squealing noise when braking, longer stopping distances or a deeper, metallic grinding sound. If you notice any of these symptoms, a professional should check your brakes to avoid further damage to your vehicle.
Brake pads typically need to be replaced every 25,000 to 50,000 kilometres, but this can vary widely based on your driving style, vehicle type and brake pad quality. Frequent short trips, heavy urban traffic and harsh braking, can contribute to faster wear. Regular inspections are essential to determine the appropriate time for replacement.
Indications that your brakes may require repair include a pulsating brake pedal, which often points to warped rotors; a soft, spongy feel when pressing the pedal, suggesting air in the hydraulic system; and unusual noises or vibrations when braking. If you experience any of these signs, it's crucial to have your brakes assessed by a skilled mechanic promptly.
Brake repairs can range from simple adjustments to complete overhauls of the braking system. This could involve replacing worn pads and rotors, fixing or replacing leaky brake lines and replenishing or replacing brake fluid. Each repair task restores the efficiency and reliability of the braking system, ensuring your vehicle's safety and performance.
