When to Book in for Brake Repairs
On modern cars, the dashboard will usually display a warning light when the sensors pick up indications of wear in the engine management system. Even so, it helps to know the characteristics behind poor braking performance so that you and your passengers are never at risk to a parts or system failure. The technicians at Chris & Chris Motors strongly advise that you book in for brake inspections as soon as you notice anything unusual when slowing or stopping.
Common signs of brake wear include:
- Unfamiliar grinding, screeching or squealing sounds when braking
- An underfoot sponge-like feel when applying the brakes
- The car pulling to one side when attempting to slow or stop

Brake Repairs as a Standalone Service
While our technicians will inspect the brakes during a service or a MOT test, it only means that we are checking their condition on the day of the original appointment. Motorists apply the brakes frequently while they drive so, even if the components are in good condition during an inspection, their condition can worsen surprisingly quickly – especially in hilly areas where drivers tend to get through pads and other braking system parts at a much faster rate.
You should keep a keen eye out for any changes in driving characteristics so that you can have brake repairs undertaken before an accident happens.
