Signs You Need Brake Repair

Brakes play a crucial role in road safety, and understanding the warning signs at an early stage can prevent expensive repairs and potential accidents.

Car Dragging to One Side
If your vehicle pulls to one side of the road when you apply the brakes, it can be because of uneven brake pad wear.
Disturbing or Grinding Noise
When you hear unusual sounds when braking, it often indicates damaged brake pads that require replacement.
Vibrations When Braking
If your steering wheel vibrates or shakes too much when braking, your rotors are damaged and require replacement or resurfacing.
Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal
When your brake pedal feels soft or requires extra force and pressure to stop the vehicle, it may be because of air in the brake lines or fluid leakage.

Our Professional Brake Repairs and Maintenance

Our comprehensive brake repairs and service covers every aspect of your vehicle’s braking system, ensuring safety and performance.

Brake Fluid Replacement
As time passes, brake fluid absorbs moisture, which can reduce braking efficiency. We flush out and replace the fluid to ensure proper hydraulic pressure. Brake fluids are often ignored but play a crucial role in keeping the braking system in good condition.
Brake Calliper Repairs
Faulty callipers can cause uneven braking, which means the vehicle won’t stop when it is needed the most. Our team inspects callipers thoroughly and repairs or replaces them as required.
Brake Rotor Resurfacing & Replacement
Damaged rotors affect your braking performance largely. Our experienced technicians resurface or replace them according to the requirements.
Brake Pad Replacement Services
Damaged brake pads reduce stopping power and increase braking distance. We conduct in-depth inspections and replace them with premium-quality brake pads according to the vehicle specifications and requirements.
ABS Diagnostics & Repairs
Modern vehicles depend greatly on the anti-lock braking system for extra support and safety. We diagnose using advanced tools and fix ABS-related issues for better control and stability.

Our Quality Clutch Repair and Replacement

A clutch system that is functioning properly is essential for smooth gear changing and vehicle performance. Whether you have a manual or automatic transmission vehicle, our mechanics are here to provide quality clutch repair and replacement services personalised as per your car needs. We offer professional clutch repairs and replacement services, including:

Hydraulic Clutch Repairs
Issues like low fluid levels or faulty cylinders can negatively impact your clutch operation. We diagnose and fix hydraulic system problems with care and precision.
Clutch Cable & Pedal Adjustment
If your clutch pedal feels too loose or tight, we can adjust or replace the clutch cable for smoother operation. Too loose or very tight can make your driving uncomfortable and get cut in unexpected situations.
Clutch Plate Replacement
Clutch plates can become damaged, slipping and making gear shifting difficult. We replace them with durable, premium-quality parts with care and precision.
Flywheel Resurfacing & Replacement
A damaged flywheel can cause excessive vibrations and affect clutch performance. Our experienced technicians inspect and service it as per requirements. If the damage is beyond the repair stage, we suggest a replacement and get it done.

FAQs

What are the signs that I need brake repairs?

There are common signs indicating your brake needs repairs, like squeaking noise, spongy brake pedal, braking vibrations, vehicle dragging to one side of the road, and the brake warning light turning on. Don’t ignore these warnings, as you may compromise safety.

How do I know if my clutch needs to be replaced?

The most important signs of clutch issues are difficulty changing gears, slipping gears, a burning smell, and a loose or very tight clutch pedal. Never ignore these indications, as you may spend a lot on repairs and replacements later.

How long does a brake pad replacement service take?

A brake pad replacement service usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on your vehicle’s condition and complications. Our technicians conduct a thorough inspection and perform the replacement with care and precision.

What causes brake fluid to become contaminated?

As time passes, brake fluid absorbs moisture, which can reduce braking efficiency and sometimes cause brake failure. Regular flushing by professionals like us helps maintain performance for a long time. Fluids are often ignored during brake repairs and services, but they play a crucial role.

What should I do if my ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) warning light comes on?

The ABS system in your vehicle is responsible for its stability and braking efficiency. If the ABS system fails, it can affect these two aspects, leading to unexpected breakdowns or accidents. Bring your car to our workstation, and our team will fix it for you.

Do I need to replace my brake rotors when changing brake pads?

It’s not always necessary! However, if rotors are warped or damaged extensively, resurfacing or replacement is required to achieve optimal braking performance. Rotors play an important role in improving your vehicle’s braking efficiency, and checking them when replacing the brake pads is essential.

What is a hydraulic clutch system, and how does it affect my car?

A hydraulic clutch system uses fluid pressure to smooth gear shifting. A low fluid level or leaks can make shifting gears difficult and cause unnecessary breakdowns when needed.
