What are brakes?

Brakes are a crucial safety feature on every modern vehicle.

They are responsible for slowing down and stopping your car and they do this by preventing your wheels from spinning.

This creates friction between your tyres and the road which slows your vehicle down.

When do my brakes need a service?

Brake servicing is a crucial part of your ongoing car maintenance.

How often you have your brakes tested will depend on individual driving habits and road conditions.

–   Where you live: if you live in a more congested area you will be stopping and starting more frequently and hitting the breaks more often. This means they will likely wear down more quickly.

–   How much you use your car

–   Whether you regularly pull a trailer or carry heavy loads in your vehicle

–   The quality of road that you drive on:  off-road driving impacts the brakes and the dirt from different types of roads can wear down brake parts.

As a general rule, it’s a good idea to have your brakes checked at the same time that you rotate your tyres or every 6 months.

But if you ever notice any signs of bad brakes, get them checked by DFN Mechanical Repairs immediately.
