Frequently Asked Questions
Common signs include squealing or grinding noises when braking, a vibrating steering wheel or brake pedal, the vehicle pulling to one side under braking, a spongy brake pedal, or a brake warning light on your dashboard. If you notice any of these, have your brakes checked as soon as possible.
Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles, depending on your driving style, vehicle type and road conditions. Town driving and frequent heavy braking will wear pads more quickly than motorway driving.
Most manufacturers recommend changing brake fluid every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point and can reduce braking performance. Regular changes help maintain safe stopping distances.
