Early Signs of Brake Issues

If you've noticed any of the following in your vehicle, be sure to contact our mechanics as soon as possible:

Squeaking or Grinding Noises: Any unusual sounds, such as squeaking or grinding, when applying the brakes can indicate worn brake pads. Ignoring these sounds may lead to further damage to the brake system.
Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal: A brake pedal that feels soft or spongy to the touch could suggest air or moisture in the brake lines. This can compromise the braking efficiency and requires prompt attention.
Vibration or Pulsation While Braking: Vibrations or pulsations felt through the steering wheel or brake pedal during braking may indicate unevenly worn brake rotors. This issue can affect the vehicle's stopping ability and should be addressed promptly.
Brake Warning Light: The illumination of the brake warning light on your dashboard signals a potential issue with the brake system. This could range from low brake fluid to a more serious problem that requires immediate attention.
Pulling to One Side When Braking: If your vehicle pulls to one side when braking, it may indicate uneven brake pad wear or a problem with the brake calliper. This issue can affect the vehicle's stability and should be addressed to ensure even braking performance.

When you choose South Lismore Automotive, you can enjoy complete peace of mind.

FAQs

What do you include in your clutch repair service?

Standard clutch repair servicing generally includes replacement of worn hydraulic components, the clutch disc, the throw-out bearing and the pressure plate. The flywheel should also be either resurfaced or replaced.
What are some warning signs that my clutch might need repairing or replacement?

Your clutch may need repairs or replacement if the clutch pedal releases higher than before, if your gears slip during acceleration, or if the clutch pedal is 'soft'. Other warning signs include having to grind the gear to get them to shift, hydraulic fluid is leaking or if there is a burning smell when accelerating.
What are brake rotors and why are they important?

Brake rotors are very important components of a vehicle’s braking system. The rotor is the cylindrical, smooth surface that brake pads clamp down on to stop the vehicle’s motion. The rotor dissipates the heat caused by braking, which allows the system to function properly. If heat builds up excessively, the brakes begin fading. It is possible to resurface rotors to some degree, but it’s better to replace them.
