When you should have your brakes checked
It is recommended you have your brakes
checked on a regular basis, at least once a
year. However, immediately book an appointment
at Drive In, in the following cases:
-
When
you begin to hear a
squealing noise when braking.
-
When
you’ve done a visual check and the lining is
only around 3mm thick
-
if the steering wheel vibrates when you
brake
-
if the brake pedal reacts differently
(harder or softer),
-
if the brakes don’t respond immediately
-
if the brakes and/or ABS signals are lit on
your dashboard
Anti-Lock braking
System (ABS)
Anti-lock Braking Systems
are a feature of many modern and high
performance cars but like any other part of a
vehicle, they can sometimes fail. So whether you
have a BMW, Volvo, Audi, Mercedes, VW, or any
other make or model of car with ABS, if it’s not
performing as it should, let one of our
experienced brake mechanics take a look.
If your ABS warning light
is illuminated, it does not necessarily mean
that your vehicle will come to a halt. What it
does mean, however, is that if you are forced to
make an emergency stop, you will not be able to
steer to avoid a collision. This is a particular
problem if the road surface is slippery.
