Braking system

The brake system is more than just a pedal.

Did you know that about 30% of all accidents are caused by a faulty brake system?

Statistics say that during the year the driver presses the brakes on average 75 thousand times.

Your safety on the road depends on many factors, and one of the most important is the serviceability of the brake system.

Ignoring even the smallest problems can lead to serious consequences.

Therefore, regular brake checks are not just a recommendation, but a necessity.

Here are 5 signs that the brake system needs repair:

Unusual sounds when braking: A grinding, squeaking, creaking or other extraneous noises when pressing the brake may indicate worn pads, deformation of the discs or other problems.

Steering wheel vibration: If the steering wheel vibrates during braking, this may be a sign of deformation of the brake discs, problems with the calipers.

Soft pedal: When the brake pedal becomes soft or fails, it may indicate a decrease in pressure in the brake system, a fluid leak, or worn pads.

The car pulls to one side when braking: If the car pulls to one side when braking, this may be a sign of a seized caliper, uneven pad wear, or a suspension problem.

A burning smell when braking: A strong burning smell when braking indicates overheating of the brake pads or discs, which can lead to their deformation or even damage. We also remind you that it is necessary to change the brake fluid every 30-40 thousand kilometers if the car is used constantly, and once every two years if the car is used rarely.
