What are brakes?
Brakes represent one of the most important systems on a car because without them you wouldn’t be able to stop. It’s important that you get a brake service to ensure that your brakes are in proper working order at all times. If you can’t stop quickly and efficiently then you’re at risk of having a serious accident.
What are some of the signs that my brakes are not working properly?
There are a few signs that should make you aware that your brakes are not performing as they should. If your car’s brakes screech or squeal, or if when your brake pedal is low, hard, soft or spongy it is advised that you have your brakes checked by a professional. Other signs include your steering wheel shuddering under braking and if your vehicle loses grip under braking or pulls to the left or right.
How often should I get my brakes checked?
Your brakes should be inspected regularly, and if you have any concerns get your brakes checked straight away. Always use a qualified mechanic for all work on your brakes.
