FAQ
How often should brakes be serviced on heavy vehicles?
Heavy vehicles often need brake checks every 10,000 to 20,000 km, depending on load and driving conditions.
What are the risks of ignoring brake noise or vibration?
Ignoring brake squeal or vibration can turn a minor issue into a serious safety hazard. Worn pads and warped rotors will grind metal-on-metal, damaging rotors and calipers, increase stopping distances and cause uncomfortable vibrations. Left unchecked, this can lead to complete brake failure and loss of control. In many places it’s also illegal to drive with faulty brakes, exposing you to fines or even criminal charges if an accident occurs.
Why does my brake pedal feel soft or spongy?
This often means air or moisture is in the hydraulic system, or there’s a fluid leak. It should be checked immediately.
