How long do brakes last?
Under normal conditions brake pads wear down over a period of between 60,000 kms and 90,000 kms of driving. If your car brake pads are wearing down quicker, then this may be due to operating at higher temperatures, such as frequent driving on roads with steep inclines, towing loads or other causes of heavy braking. Heavy duty brake pads may be an option in these conditions.
When should I have my brakes checked?
If you are unsure about your brakes, or notice any changes in the brakes such as noise (including squeaky brakes), a change in the feel of the brake pedal, difficulty controlling the car when applying brakes, burning smell or increased stopping time, then call us to book in a brake check.
