Your vehicle's brakes are one of the most crucial safety features of your vehicle, and regular checks are necessary to ensure they are functioning properly.
Over time, brake pads and other elements can wear out, affecting the performance of your brakes and potentially putting you and others on the road at risk. That's why it's important to have your brakes checked regularly to catch any issues before they become a bigger problem.

As a driver, staying responsive to subtle changes in the car’s performance and comfort can help you stay on top of various servicing issues. If you notice any of the following symptoms with your vehicle, you should investigate the brakes ASAP.
Other possible symptoms include spongy and soft brakes or particularly bumpy braking experiences. Once you notice a problem, a quick response is necessary.
If you feel that there is an issue with your brakes, it’s important to test both the brakes and the pads. To inspect the disc brake, you should check that the face is still shiny with only small visible lines. Any clear grooves and loss of shine suggest that the disc has been damaged by general wear and tear. It needs replacing.
The brake pads facing the disc should be at least 1/8” in thickness. If they have been worn beyond this point, you should replace them ASAP. If you cannot see your brakes properly, you may need to remove the wheel before completing the visual inspection.
