How Do I Know If My Brakes Need Servicing Or Replacing?

Your car consists of complex systems with many interrelated parts that perform specific functions just like the human body. You fuel it up, start the ignition and expect it to perform at all times. However, it is easy to take brake maintenance for granted. Putting off routine servicing and waiting only until there is a noticeable car issue is like sitting on a ticking time bomb.


The last thing you want is for an accident to happen when it was preventable in the first place. If you cannot find the time to take your car to the auto shop, simply call South Coast Autocare in Southport. Your car’s brakes perform a vital function. The brake pads, brake calliper and brake roper are the main components of car disc brake systems. These components wear out eventually but there are a variety of factors that contribute to brake wear, namely: driving habits, driving conditions, materials used to manufacture brakes and the compounds used in brake pads.


It is recommended to replace brake pads after about 80,000km. You can consult your car owner’s manual to get a more accurate number on your car’s specific needs or schedule your next car servicing with South Coast Autocare.


Indicators to look out for when your brakes need servicing or replacing are:


Brake Pad Thickness

Brake pads have small metal hairs underneath that lets the driver know when they start losing traction. Brake pads that make squeaking or scraping noises mean it is time to call a mobile mechanic in Southport to get them immediately replaced.


Warped Rotors

Braking that feels jittery could be a sign of warped rotors. Treatments are available to either clean or grind the surface to make the rotor flat again. However, it is generally less expensive and safer to just get a new brake rotor. As a rule, brakes that look worn out or do not perform as normal, should be replaced. South Coast Autocare in Southport can come to you and carry out even the toughest vehicle repairs. You get the convenience of the mechanic coming to you instead of having to take your car to an auto shop. We understand that some of our clients are very limited on time which is why we now bring our professional auto services wherever you are.
