What can cause damage to my vehicle's braking system?

Your vehicle's braking system can usually function optimally between approximately 25,000 and 65,000 miles before requiring some attention; however, there are a few factors that can cause damage to your braking system, meaning you will need to get this checked sooner. These factors are:- Overloading your vehicle while driving, excessively rash driving at a higher speed, frequently driving on muddy or rocky terrain, and low maintenance.

How can I identify if my braking system is faulty?

Your braking system is one of the most important parts of your vehicle, and keeping it in top condition is important for both your vehicle's health and your own. If you notice any of the following symptoms, it could indicate your braking system is going to fail:- 

1. A grinding noise when you apply the brakes, resulting from worn-out brake pads.

2. If you feel zero resistance while pressing the brake, it could be due to brake fluid leakage or a faulty master cylinder.

3. Damaged rotors can cause unusual vibrations on the brake pedal. If your brake pedal feels juddery, it's a sign you may need to bring your vehicle in for an inspection.

4. If your vehicle pulls in one direction while applying the brakes, this could indicate damaged brake callipers, and you should bring your vehicle to us for immediate inspection.
