Brake and clutch service and replacement

Brake service and replacement

Brakes are your vehicle’s most critical safety component, allowing you to slow down, stop or keep the car unmoved while it is parked. Your braking system is more than brake pads, and the importance of having your brake system routinely checked should never be underestimated.

Here are some signs of a malfunctioning braking system that you should pay attention to:

• Excessive grinding noise when you press brake pedal.
• Harder pressing on the brake pedal to stop the car than usual.
• Pulling to one side under braking.
• Brake pedal nearly touching the floor.
• Vibration of pedal under braking.
• Illumination of brake light.
