Common Questions About Brake Repair and Safety

What causes a soft or spongy brake pedal?
A spongy pedal usually indicates air in the hydraulic system, fluid contamination, or a failing master cylinder, requiring immediate attention.
Yes! ABS warning indicates sensor faults or hydraulic issues; you should have our technicians diagnose and rectify the problem on time.
Slightly warped rotors may be machined if they are within tolerance, whereas severe warping requires replacement to restore safe braking performance.
Minor brake repairs take an hour or two. However, full pad, rotor, and calliper work typically requires many hours, depending on parts availability.
Inspect pads every 10,000 to 12,000 kilometres or at every service. Heavy urban driving may necessitate more frequent safety checks.
