If you hear squealing or grinding when you press the brake pedal, it usually means the pads or discs are worn and need attention. A spongy or soft pedal can indicate air in the brake lines or low brake fluid, while a pedal that feels unusually hard may point to a problem with the brake booster. Vibrations through the steering wheel or pedal when braking often suggest warped discs. You may also notice your car pulling to one side, which can be caused by uneven wear or a sticking caliper. And if the brake warning light appears on your dashboard, it’s a clear signal that the system needs to be checked immediately.
Brakes wear gradually, so problems can creep up without you noticing. Regular inspections ensure that pads, discs, and fluid levels are all in good condition. At Shelly Motors Middleton Garage, our technicians carry out thorough checks to spot early signs of wear and tear.
By replacing components before they fail, we help you avoid costly repairs and keep your car safe.
Brake pads typically need replacing every 20,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on driving style and conditions. Discs and other components may last longer but should always be inspected during routine servicing. If your brakes are noisy, weak, or inconsistent, replacement is often the safest option.
