How do I know if there is a problem with my brakes?

No one plans for their brakes to become faulty and need repairs. That’s why we at P&J Garage Services do everything we can to take care of any brake problems quickly and at affordable prices. There are several warning signs to look out for that indicate an issue with your braking system including:

Squeaky or squealing brakes.

Pulsating or juddering under braking.

Grinding noises.

Sponginess.

Soft or spongy brake pedal.

High handbrake.

Car pulling to one side when braking.

Brake warning light on your dashboard.

What are common brake problems?

As professional and experienced mechanics, there are a range of common brake problems that we frequently come across. Here’s our handy guide to common brake problems…

Car Break Replacement

Brakes typically need replacing every 50,000 miles and if you’ve spotted problems, you may require a car brake replacement. Depending on the extent of the wear or damage to your brakes, we may need to replace your front or back brakes, or all four brakes. Brake pads and discs are the most common parts of a braking system that need to be replaced.

Brake Pads & Disc Fitting

Brake pads and discs are the most crucial parts of your vehicle’s braking system. Damage, vehicles that have 25,000-60,000 miles on the clock, and vehicles that are driven in areas with stop-start traffic are likely to need brake pads and disk fitting. Unusual noises are often a warning sign that you may need brake pads and/or disks replaced.

Brake Fluid Change & Replacement

Brake fluid is responsible for creating the pressure that helps you brake. Brake fluid should be replaced every two years or every 24,000 miles. However, if you notice dashboard warning lights, your car taking longer to brake or a slow response from your brake pedal, it’s vital that you take your vehicle to a mechanic.

Brake Repairs

Though the above are common issues with brake systems, this list isn’t extensive. A vehicle’s braking system comprises:

  • Brake discs spin with your car’s wheels.
  • Brake pads push on the discs to slow your car.
  • Brake calipers hold and push the pads.
  • Brake lines carry brake fluid.

Over time, it’s common for any of these components to become worn and fail. Wear or failure of brakes requires urgent repair, therefore don’t hesitate to contact us and book your vehicle in.

What is a brake inspection?

A brake inspection is undertaken by a qualified mechanic to test the effectiveness of your brakes first-hand. A brake inspection with P&J Garage Services includes:

  • A test drive.
  • A visual inspection to measure your brake pad and shoe thickness.
  • Checking your calipers for wear.
  • Checking your wheel cylinders, lines and master cylinder for leaks.
  • Checking the levels and quality if your brake fluids.
  • And more.

How much does it cost to replace brakes?
