Brakes in Horndean

There are a number of signs to look out for that indicate that your brakes may be in need of service or repair:

Grinding - Normally an indication that the brake pads have become heavily worn resulting in a grinding noise when the brakes are applied. This will likely cause damage to the brake disc and calliper if left unaddressed.

Squeaking - If you hear sharp squeaking noises from the brakes this could suggest a number of potential issues relating to the disc, pad and calliper and is an indication that your brakes need looking at.

Dashboard Light - If the brake warning light appears on your dashboard then your ECU will have detected a fault within the brakes. A common cause of this is low brake fluid level or a leak, it is important not to ignore warning lights as they are often simple to repair solutions that can turn into expensive ones.

Pulling - Your vehicle pulling side to side when applying the brakes indicates a mechanical issue in the brake system.

Soft/Spongy Brake Pedal - Unresponsive and spongy brakes usually mean there are issues with the brake fluid flowing through the brake systems effectively. A brake pedal that goes all the way to the floor indicates a severe problem and needs to be inspected immediately.
