Frequently Asked Questions
How do you know if your brakes need replacing?
The most common signs that brakes need attention include squealing, grinding, or squeaking noises, a soft or vibrating brake pedal, or an increase in stopping distance. Some vehicles also display a dashboard warning light when brake pads are worn. Regular brake checks are essential because worn pads or damaged rotors can reduce stopping power and cause uneven wear across the system. Mechanics typically inspect pad thickness, brake fluid condition and rotor surfaces during routine servicing to prevent unsafe driving and more costly repairs later on.
What are the symptoms of a bad clutch?
A failing clutch can cause difficulty changing gears, a burning smell, or a noticeable increase in engine revs without a corresponding boost in speed. Drivers might also experience a heavy, spongy, or sticking clutch pedal. These symptoms often indicate worn clutch plates, a leaking hydraulic system or damage to the pressure plate. Having a professional mechanic diagnose the issue early helps prevent complete clutch failure and potential gearbox damage. Replacing or adjusting components promptly ensures smoother gear changes and restores proper vehicle performance.
How often should brakes and clutches be serviced?
Brake systems should generally be inspected every six months or 10,000 kilometres, but this depends on driving conditions and the vehicle type. Clutches don’t have a fixed replacement schedule, as wear varies based on driving habits and traffic conditions. Regular servicing helps identify early signs of wear in brake pads, hydraulic systems, and clutch assemblies before they become major issues. Mechanics often test pedal pressure, check for leaks and examine fluid quality to ensure safe, consistent performance from both systems.
