It‘s obvious that your brakes need servicing if your vehicle doesn't stop as fast as it used to. However there are less noticeable warning signs that you ought to watch for to ensure your safety when travelling on the road.
If your car shows these signs - you should have your brake system tested.
The brake pedal is low, hard, soft or spongy
The brake pedal feels low
Losing traction during braking
It feels like your car pulls to the side when braking
Your steering wheel shudders when you brake
When braking there is a high pitched squeak or squeal
If your vehicle displays any of these danger signs, contact us at Kogarah Bay Automotive as soon as possible.
