How do I know if my brakes need replacing?
Common signs your brakes need attention include squealing or grinding noises, a soft or spongy brake pedal, vibrations while braking, or your vehicle pulling to one side when stopping. You may also notice it takes longer to come to a complete stop. Regular brake inspections help catch wear early, preventing damage to other components and improving safety. Brake pads generally need replacing every 40,000 to 60,000 km, but driving habits and road conditions can impact this.
What’s included in a brake service?
A comprehensive brake service usually involves inspecting the brake pads, rotors (discs), callipers, brake lines, and fluid. Mechanics will assess wear levels, check for leaks, measure rotor thickness, and ensure all components are operating smoothly. If needed, the service may include replacing worn pads, machining or replacing rotors, bleeding the brake lines to remove air, and topping up or replacing brake fluid. It’s a thorough process designed to restore braking performance and safety.
Can I drive with worn brake pads?
Driving with worn brake pads is not recommended. When pads wear too thin, they can damage your rotors and reduce braking efficiency—putting you and others at risk. You might also hear a metal-on-metal grinding sound, which indicates the pads have completely worn out. Continuing to drive in this condition can lead to longer stopping distances, brake failure, and more expensive repairs. It's always best to get them replaced as soon as you notice a problem.
