FAQs:
If you’re considering visiting us for brake repair services, you might have some questions. Here are common inquiries we receive about brake repairs that might help alleviate any uncertainties.
Q. What are the signs that my brakes need repair?
Common signs that your brakes may need repairing include squeaking or grinding noises, a soft brake pedal, a burning smell when braking, or a warning light appearing on your dashboard.
Q. How often should I have my brakes inspected?
It is recommended to have your brakes examined at least once a year to ensure everything is operating as it should. Most car brakes will last anywhere between 25,000 and 60,000 miles, but this can differ depending on how you drive.
Q. Should I replace all 4 brakes at the same time?
While it may appear more cost-effective to just replace the worn pads, it can be dangerous in the long run. If only one brake pad is replaced, it can create an imbalance in braking performance, as the new pad will have a different amount of friction material than the other pads leading to reduced efficiency. So you should always replace all 4 brakes to optimize braking capacity.
Q. How long does a brake repair typically take?
The duration can vary depending on the extent of the issues. Minor repairs may take only a few hours, while more complex ones require a longer time.
Q. How often should I have my brake fluid flushed?
On average, you should get your brake fluid flushed every 2 years or 30,000 miles. Depending on your driving habits and whether you’re often in dusty or dirty conditions can impact how frequently you’ll need servicing.
