Signs your brakes need attention
Squealing or grinding
Squealing can mean worn pads; grinding often means metal on metal – book in quickly.
Soft or spongy pedal
Air or moisture in the fluid, or a leak – don’t ignore it.
Vibration or pulling
Shaking through the pedal or steering, or the car pulling to one side when braking.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I need new brake pads?
Squealing, a pad warning light, longer stopping distances or a grinding noise. We check them free on every visit and show you photos.
Should I replace rotors with pads?
Not always. If rotors are above minimum thickness and not warped, pads alone may be fine – we measure and advise.
How often should brake fluid be changed?
Usually every 2 years – check your logbook. Old fluid can boil under heavy braking.
