SERVICE NOTES

Brake pad, disc and fluid checks, with the recommended next steps explained clearly.

Signs worth getting checked

  • Squealing or grinding when braking
  • A soft pedal, longer pedal travel or longer stopping distances
  • The steering wheel or pedal shakes under braking, or the brake warning light is on

What a check usually covers

  • Remaining brake pad thickness and even wear
  • Brake disc surface condition and thickness
  • Brake fluid level and condition, plus visible lines and calipers

This is general guidance. The actual scope, options and cost are confirmed for your vehicle after inspection.

Common questions

How do I know the brake pads need replacing?

Grinding noises, a warning light, or thin pads found during inspection are all signs. Brakes are safety-critical, so it is best not to postpone them.

Do pads and discs have to be replaced together?

Not always. It depends on disc wear against its minimum thickness, and we explain the recommendation after checking.

Does brake fluid need changing regularly?

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time and many manufacturers specify a replacement interval. Check the handbook or ask about your model.
