Brake pads and braking systems are one of the most important parts of your vehicle when driving.
It's not fun to imagine being in a situation where the brakes fail, like in a movie. Skidding to a stop or jumping out of a moving car is definitely not something you'd want to experience! But jokes aside, your car’s braking system is crucial for your safety.
This system includes brake pads, disks, and brake fluid, all working together to ensure smooth and safe stops. The wear and tear on these parts depend on your driving style, and at Frankton Tyre Service, we’re here to make sure everything is in top condition.
Why You Need Your Brakes Serviced & Brake Pads Replaced?
Your vehicle’s braking system is crucial for your safety. It includes brake pads, discs, and brake fluid, all working together to ensure you can stop smoothly and safely. Regular maintenance is essential because the braking system can wear out over time, especially with different driving conditions.
If you notice your car vibrating when you brake, if the brake pedal feels too soft or too hard, or if it takes longer to stop, it’s time for a check-up. At Frankton Tyre Services, we can inspect and repair your brakes to ensure they are in top condition.
How Often Should You Service Your Brakes & Replace Brake Pads?
We recommend having your brakes checked by a professional every six months or every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. Many people do this when they get their oil changed or tyres rotated. However, your driving habits and conditions can affect how often you need to replace your brake pads.
New Zealand's varied road conditions, from hilly countryside to busy urban streets, can put extra stress on your brakes. Regular checks help ensure your brakes remain effective and reliable.
