Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my brakes need repair?
Signs that brakes need repair include squealing or grinding noises, vibrations when braking, longer stopping distances, or a brake pedal that feels soft or spongy. Ignoring these symptoms can cause further damage to discs and increase the risk of brake failure. Mechanics can inspect pads, rotors and hydraulics to pinpoint the issue and restore braking performance before it becomes a safety hazard.
What are the symptoms of a failing clutch?
Common signs of a worn clutch include difficulty shifting gears, a slipping clutch when accelerating, a burning smell, or a clutch pedal that feels stiff or loose. Drivers may also notice poor fuel efficiency or strange noises when pressing the pedal. Clutch problems worsen over time, so catching them early saves money and prevents roadside breakdowns.
How often should brakes and clutches be replaced?
Brake pads typically last between 30,000–70,000 km, depending on driving style and conditions. Clutches generally last longer, often up to 100,000–150,000 km, but heavy towing, city driving and off-road use can shorten their lifespan. Regular inspections during servicing help spot wear before it becomes dangerous, ensuring both systems are replaced at the right time.
Expert Service
Reliable Repairs, Smooth Performance
Brakes and clutches wear out gradually, which is why many drivers don’t notice problems until it’s too late. Regular checks and timely repairs mean safer driving, longer-lasting parts, and fewer unexpected breakdowns. Professional brake servicing can include replacing pads, machining discs, checking hydraulics, and bleeding the system for maximum stopping performance. With clutches, common repairs involve replacing worn plates, fixing slave cylinders, or adjusting cables to restore smooth operation. By keeping these critical systems in top shape, you’ll enjoy safer, smoother driving every time you hit the road.
