Reliable Brake Repair in Your Area

In need of brake repair in Wimborne? It goes without saying that the safety of your car, of other road users and of pedestrians all depend on the reliability of your brakes. Don’t take chances: have your car checked both routinely and when there are any signs of problem.

Key Signs Your Brakes Need Repair or Replacement

The obvious indicator that your brakes may need repair or replacement is a warning light on your dashboard. But other signs you should be alert for include the following:

• Brakes suffer routine wear and tear over time, so if you’ve driven around 30-50,000 miles since your last service or brake check, then it’s worth having them checked out.
• A grinding sound when you apply your brakes or a high-pitched squeal when you depress your brake pedal could be a sign that there’s an issue with your braking system.
• Are there signs of any leaks coming from the brake master cylinder? You may see signs of a colourless liquid with a slight odour on your inner tyres.
• Does your car pull right or left when you apply the brakes? One of the brake pads could be more worn than the other, or a caliper could be failing or getting snagged.
• Feel vibrations through the steering wheel or brake pedal when braking? Your brake discs may be warped.
• Do you have to depress the brake pedal almost to the floor to get the car to slow before stopping?
