Warning Signs - When to Act

Recognising brake problems early can prevent costly damage and, more importantly, avoid dangerous situations on the road. Watch out for these warning signs:

• Squealing: A high-pitched squeal when braking is usually the wear indicator built into the brake pad - a deliberate warning that pads are getting low.
• Grinding: A metallic grinding sound indicates pads have worn through completely and metal is contacting the disc. This needs immediate attention.
• Pulling: If your vehicle pulls to one side under braking, a calliper may be seizing or pads/discs wearing unevenly.
• Vibration: Pulsing through the brake pedal usually indicates warped discs - common after repeated hard braking or overheating.
• Spongy pedal: A pedal that travels further than usual before the brakes engage suggests air in the hydraulic system or a fluid leak.
• Warning light: The brake warning light can indicate worn pads, low fluid level or a fault with the ABS system.

If you notice any of these symptoms, call us on 07933 900901 - we'll fit you in as quickly as possible.
