FAQsFrequently Asked Questions

• There are no issues I face with my car brakes, except for the brake lights being illuminated. Should I get it checked?

  Yes, you should. A brake system issue could happen due to a number of reasons that might not cause vibrations or be visible physically but that exists nonetheless.

• How often should I get my brakes serviced?

  Ideally, you should get your brakes serviced every six months or once a year. This can be determined on the basis of your driving style and mileage completed.

• Should I change the rotors along with a worn-out brake pad?

  Each case should be considered as a separate case in itself. It is based on your mechanic’s diagnosis upon the wear and tear of your rotor being inspected. If the surface has grooves and general wear but still has material on it, your mechanic might suggest that it be turned or resurfaced to last longer.

• What are some of the signs of a bad brake pad issue?

  Squeaking, vehicle slippage to one side while braking, grinding noises, and increased braking time and distance might be indicative of the fact that you should have your brake pads checked right away.

• What is the best way to ensure the longevity of brake pads?

  It is best to avoid slamming on the brakes and instead apply pressure gradually to ease the vehicle to a stop to ensure longer-lasting brake pads.

• My brakes seem to respond only when my foot is pressed all the way. Is that a problem?

  Yes, it is. Reduced braking system responsiveness may indicate a brake fluid leak. This is usually confirmed when you find oil puddles under your car. Consult with a mechanic should this occur.

• I recently replaced my brake pads and I find a burnt smell emanating whenever I apply brakes. What is wrong?

  This is normal for a newly replaced brake pad since the pads have to break in and get adjusted to the rotors. It will most likely subside in a couple of days. Keep your mechanic posted either way.
