Certain brake components such as disc rotors, brake pads, drum rotors and drum shoes are considered consumable components, by the nature of their design they are intended to be replaced as they wear out. There are many signs that can indicate your brakes are due for replacement and should be checked by our team of professionals.

Vibration underheavy braking can indicate warped or grooved disc rotors, noisy/squealing brakes can be attributed to worn out brake pads or glazed rotors, If your vehicle pulls left or right when braking, this can signal an operational fault such as a seized caliper or a deeper issue related to your suspension and steering. If you notice any problems with your Brake Pedal such as, sticking (i.e. when your brake pedal fails to release), pulsating, the pedal is extremely heavy to push in, the pedal doesn't engage your brakes unless it is fully depressed or if your brake pedal becomes spongy, book in today to have your vehicle assessed by one of our experts.
