Brakes

Our technicians will inspect your brakes as part of any interim, full or major service, and they can also perform any necessary repairs.

When to get your brakes serviced?

Brake Pad Sensor Light

The brake pad sensor light will show on your dashboard when there is any issue with your brakes, such as low brake fluid or brake pads wearing thin.​

​An amber light indicates a fault that needs repair, while a red light indicates a major fault and you should not drive as your brakes are in danger of failing.

Brake System Light

The brake system light works in much the same was as the brake pad sensor light but covers the entire braking system.

If the brake system light is yellow, your brakes may be in need of repair. If the light is red it is unsafe to drive.

Parking Brake Light

If your parking brake light remains on after you release the parking break, there might be a fault with a sensor or the parking brake itself.

'Spongy' Brake Pedal

A 'spongy' brake pedal could be caused by air in the brake lines, a brake fluid leak, or damaged brake components.

Grinding or Squealing

Noisy brakes can be a sign of worn brake pads. If your brake pad dash light isn't on you might have a faulty sensor.

Vibrations When Braking

Vibrations might be caused by a damaged brake disc or warped brake pads.

Leaking Brake Fluid

Any fluid leaks should be investigated. If your car is leaking brake fluid but the brake pad dash light is not lit, you may have a faulty sensor.
