WHEN YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR BRAKES CHECKED

It is recommended you have your brakes checked on a regular basis, at least once a year. However, immediately book an appointment at Drive In, in the following cases:

• When you begin to hear a squealing noise when braking.
• When you have done a visual check and the lining is only around 3 mm thick
• If the steering wheel vibrates when you brake
• If the brake pedal reacts differently (harder or softer),
• If the brakes don’t respond immediately
• If the brakes and/or ABS signals are lit on your dashboard

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

Anti-lock Braking Systems are a feature of many modern and high performance cars but like any other part of a vehicle, they can sometimes fail. So whether you have a BMW, Volvo, Audi, Mercedes, VW, or any other make or model of car with ABS, if it’s not performing as it should, let one of our experienced brake mechanics take a look.

If your ABS warning light is illuminated, it does not necessarily mean that your vehicle will come to a halt. What it does mean, however, is that if you are forced to make an emergency stop, you will not be able to steer to avoid a collision. This is a particular problem if the road surface is slippery.
