Frequently Asked Questions

Ask a Question

  • How do I know if my brakes need to be repaired or replaced?

    Common signs your brakes may need repair include squealing or grinding noises, a vibrating brake pedal, a longer stopping distance, or a warning light on your dashboard. You may also notice the car pulling to one side when braking or a soft, spongy pedal feel. These symptoms usually indicate worn brake pads, warped rotors, air in the brake lines, or fluid leaks. Even if the car seems to stop fine, ignoring these issues can lead to costly repairs or complete brake failure. It’s best to get a professional inspection at the first sign of trouble.

  • How often should brakes be checked or serviced?

    It’s generally recommended to have your brakes checked every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres, or during every second vehicle service. However, driving habits, terrain, and vehicle load can affect wear rates. City driving with frequent stops, heavy towing, or mountainous terrain can wear brakes faster. Brake pads usually last between 30,000 to 70,000 kilometres, while rotors may last longer. Regular inspections help catch uneven wear, fluid issues, or rotor damage early, ensuring your vehicle remains safe and responsive.

  • What’s the difference between brake pads and brake rotors?

    Brake pads are the friction material that presses against the rotors (also called brake discs) to slow the vehicle down. Pads are designed to wear down over time and need regular replacement. Rotors are the metal discs attached to each wheel that the pads clamp onto. While rotors last longer than pads, they can become warped, grooved, or cracked from heat and stress, especially if pads wear down too far. Both components are critical for safe stopping, and neglecting one can quickly damage the other.
