    FAQ's

    What are anti lock brakes?

    Anti-lock braking systems (or ABS) are safety features in vehicles that prevent the wheels from locking up during hard braking, allowing drivers to maintain steering control and stability. ABS helps avoid skidding on slippery surfaces and reduces the risk of losing control of the vehicle.
     

    How long do brake pads last?

    Brake pads lifespan can vary significantly based on several factors. Among others, driving habits, brake pads material, vehicle type are the most impacting ones. On average, brake pads should be able to cover approximately 30 000 to 90 000 km. 

    When to change brake pads?

    Signs you need to change your brake pads:

    • Squealing or Screeching Noise: This is often the first sign, caused by a small metal wear indicator on the pad.
    •  Grinding Noise: A harsh, metal-on-metal grinding sound means the pads are completely worn out. This can damage your brake discs. They should be replaced immediately. 
       
    • Vibrating or Pulsating Brake Pedal: This can indicate unevenly worn pads or warped rotors.
    •  Reduced Braking Performance: If your car takes longer to stop than it used to, or the brakes feel less responsive.
    •  Dashboard Warning Light: Your car's computer may trigger a brake warning light when the pads are too thin.
    •  Visual Inspection: most mechanics recommend replacement when the pad material is less than 3 mm thick. If it's less than 1.5 mm, they should be replaced immediately.
