Ideally, you should have your brakes inspected every six months or every 5,000 to 7,000 Kilometers, whichever comes first. Regular checks ensure your safety and can help detect issues before they become costly problems.

Common signs include squealing or grinding noises, a soft or spongy brake pedal, vibrations in the steering wheel when braking, or your car pulling to one side when braking.

The lifespan of brake pads varies based on driving habits, vehicle type, and the quality of the pads. On average, they can last anywhere from 25,000 to 70,000 Kilometers. Regular inspections will help determine their condition.

Brake pads are used in disc brake systems, while brake shoes are used in drum brake systems. While they serve the same purpose—to create friction and slow your vehicle—they have different designs and are used in different brake setups.

Low brake fluid can be due to natural brake pad wear, a leak in the brake system, or overdue brake maintenance. It’s crucial to address low brake fluid promptly, as it’s vital for safe braking.

Resurfacing, done using a brake lathe, can be a cost-effective solution if your rotors are slightly uneven but still thick enough to meet safety standards. However, if they’re too thin or have severe damage, replacement is the safer option.

Not necessarily. Front brakes usually wear out faster than rear ones because they handle a higher percentage of the braking load, especially in front-engine cars. It’s essential, however, to check all brakes regularly for even wear and performance.

While we recommend using the high-quality parts we source, we understand that some customers prefer providing their own. If you choose to do so, please note that our service warranty might only cover the labor and not the parts.

A standard brake inspection and pad replacement typically take about 1 to 2 hours. However, if additional services like rotor replacement or brake lathe resurfacing are required, it may take longer. We always strive to provide efficient and timely service.
