Signs You Need Brake Replacement
Knowing when your vehicle requires brake attention is crucial for maintaining safety on the road. Our mobile brake replacement service begins with a thorough assessment of your braking system to identify issues before they become dangerous. Here are key indicators that your vehicle may need professional brake attention:
Audible Warning Signs
- Squealing or grinding noises when braking
- High-pitched screeching during brake application
- Clicking or rattling sounds from wheel areas
- Continuous brake noise even when not applied
These sounds often indicate worn brake pads, damaged rotors, or loose components requiring immediate attention.
Physical Indicators
- Brake pedal feels soft or spongy underfoot
- Vehicle pulls to one side during braking
- Vibration or juddering through the brake pedal
- Increased stopping distance
- Brake pedal travels closer to the floor than usual
These physical symptoms suggest potential hydraulic issues, uneven wear, or component failure requiring professional assessment.
Visual Warning Signs
- Brake warning light illuminated on dashboard
- Visible brake fluid leaks near wheels or under vehicle
- Thin brake pads visible through wheel spokes (less than 3mm)
- Scoring or grooves visible on brake discs
- Rust accumulation on brake components
If you notice any of these warning signs, our mobile brake replacement service provides prompt, on-site diagnosis and repair throughout Adelaide.
