    FAQs

    How often should I get my brakes checked?

    We recommend a brake inspection every 10,000–15,000 km or during your regular vehicle service. If you notice unusual noises or reduced braking performance, have them checked immediately.

    What are the signs that my brakes need attention?

    Common signs include squealing or grinding noises, vibrations while braking, a soft brake pedal, longer stopping distances, or a brake warning light.

    How long does a brake inspection take?

    A standard brake inspection usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on your vehicle and the condition of the braking system.

    Do you inspect brake pads and rotors?

    Yes. We inspect brake pads, discs (rotors), calipers, brake fluid, hoses, and the overall braking system to ensure your vehicle is safe.

    Can worn brakes damage other components?

    Yes. Delaying brake repairs can damage rotors, calipers, and other braking components, resulting in higher repair costs.
