Frequently Asked Questions
How often should brake pads be replaced?
Brake pads typically need to be replaced every 40,000–70,000 km, but it varies depending on your vehicle and driving habits. City driving with frequent stopping wears pads faster than highway driving. Regular inspections help catch wear early to avoid damage to rotors and other parts, saving you money long-term.
What are the signs my clutch needs replacing?
Common symptoms include difficulty shifting gears, a slipping clutch (where the engine revs but the vehicle doesn’t accelerate), a burning smell, or a soft or spongy clutch pedal. If you notice any of these, it’s best to have it checked to prevent total clutch failure or gearbox issues.
Why is my car making a grinding noise when I brake?
Grinding sounds usually mean your brake pads are completely worn down and metal is grinding on metal. This can cause damage to rotors and reduce braking performance. It's important to stop driving immediately and book a brake inspection to avoid unsafe driving conditions and expensive repairs.
