Brake System Warning Signs

Never ignore these critical safety indicators

Squealing Noises

High-pitched squealing when braking indicates worn brake pads.

Vibration or Pulsation

Steering wheel or brake pedal vibration indicates warped brake rotors.

Increased Stopping Distance

Vehicle takes longer to stop indicates worn components or hydraulic issues.

Brake Fluid Leaks

Puddles under your vehicle or low brake fluid levels indicate leaks in the hydraulic system.

Visible Rotor Damage

Circular grooves or scoring on brake rotors indicates severely worn pads causing damage.

Emergency Symptoms

If you experience ANY of these, stop driving immediately:

Grinding Metal Sounds
Brake Pedal Goes to Floor
Vehicle Pulls to One Side

How Your Car’s Brakes Work

When you press the brake pedal, you activate the master cylinder, which multiplies the force applied through hydraulic pressure.

1

Pedal Pressure

Force applied to master cylinder

2

Hydraulic Transfer

Brake fluid transmits force through lines

3

Caliper Activation

Pistons press pads against rotors

4

Friction Creation

Friction slows or stops the vehicle

Brake System Components

Brake Pads

Create friction against rotors. Wear indicators alert when replacement needed.

Brake Rotors (Discs)

Metal discs that pads clamp onto. Can warp or score from metal-to-metal contact.

Brake Calipers

House pistons that press pads against rotors. Can stick or leak requiring service.

Hydraulic System

Master cylinder, brake lines, and fluid that transfer pedal force to brakes.

ABS System

Prevents wheel lock-up during emergency braking for maintained steering control.

Brake Repair – Frequently Asked Questions

Experiencing brake issues? We provide fast and reliable brake repair services in Canberra.

What are the warning signs that my brakes need repair?
Common warning signs include squealing or grinding noises, vibration when braking, a soft or spongy brake pedal, pulling to one side, or longer stopping distances. If you notice any of these symptoms, brake inspection is strongly recommended.
Is it safe to keep driving with worn brake pads?
Driving with worn brake pads is unsafe. Continued use can damage brake discs (rotors), significantly increase stopping distance, and lead to sudden brake failure. Early replacement helps avoid more expensive repairs and safety risks.
How often should brake pads and discs be replaced?
Brake pad lifespan varies depending on driving habits and conditions, but typically ranges from 40,000 to 70,000 km. Brake discs usually last longer but should be inspected during every brake service. Regular highway driving causes less wear than frequent city stop-and-go traffic.
Why are my brakes making noise when I stop?
Brake noise is often caused by worn pads, glazed rotors, dust buildup, or lack of lubrication on brake components. While some noise can be normal, persistent or loud sounds should be checked to prevent damage. High-pitched squealing usually indicates worn pads, while grinding suggests metal-to-metal contact.
What happens if I ignore brake problems?
Ignoring brake issues can lead to reduced braking performance, damage to discs and calipers, increased repair costs, and serious safety risks for you and other road users. What starts as a simple pad replacement can become a complete brake system overhaul if warning signs are ignored.
How long does a typical brake repair take?
Most brake pad replacements take 1-2 hours per axle. Complete brake service including rotors and fluid flush typically takes 2-3 hours. Our mobile service eliminates waiting room time – we come to your location, whether it’s your home, workplace, or roadside.
Do you service European and luxury vehicles?
Yes, we have extensive experience with all makes and models including European vehicles like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Volvo. We use proper tools and follow manufacturer specifications to ensure your vehicle’s safety systems work correctly.
