Brake Services brake maintenance and repair

Brakes give warnings before failing. Here's what to watch for:

  • Noise while braking: Squealing or grinding means your brake pads need attention. Replacing them early is inexpensive; delaying can damage rotors or discs, leading to costly repairs.
  • Spongy feeling: If you need to press the brake pedal harder or further, it could indicate worn pads or a leak. Get your brakes checked immediately.
  • Brake warning light: Ignoring this light is dangerous, especially in modern vehicles with computer-controlled braking. It signals a problem, possibly a faulty sensor or brake system failure.
  • Other signs: If your steering pulls when braking or you're low on brake fluid, get service promptly. Timely repairs cost less than the consequences of brake failure.

Are Your Brakes Signalling a Problem?

Sometimes, your vehicle's brakes will alert you when there's trouble. Whistling noises, chirping sounds, and grinding are indications that brake service is required. Here are some causes of brake pedal pulsation and/or noise:

  • Worn brake pads
  • Heat-cracked or worn rotors
  • Loose-fitting brake pads in the caliper
  • Missing or damaged noise insulators
  • Uneven torque of lug nuts or caliper hardware

Vehicles often come equipped with a small, thin piece of metal attached to the brake pad to act as a warning indicator when the pad material is getting low and the brake pads should be replaced. This device makes a chirping noise on brake application, letting you know it's time to have your brakes serviced.

Tips for Maintaining Your Brakes

  • Regular Inspections: Have your brakes inspected at least once a year or every 16,000 kilometers to catch issues early.
  • Fluid Check: Regularly check your brake fluid level and condition. Replace it as recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer.
  • Drive Smart: Avoid heavy braking and try to coast to a stop when possible to extend the life of your brake components.
  • Listen for Noises: Pay attention to any unusual sounds when braking, and have them checked out immediately.
  • Know Your Pads: Familiarize yourself with the lifespan of your brake pads and plan for timely replacements.
