Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell when my brakes need to be replaced or repaired?
There are several signs that your brakes may need a service, including:
- Unusual sounds—Your brakes are squealing, grinding or screeching.
- Vibrations—You feel vibrations or shimmies when you apply the brakes. This can be caused by uneven wear on your rotors and/or pads.
- Unresponsive or slow braking—Your braking performance seems greatly diminished, meaning they don’t seem to work as well as they used to.
- Low pedals—Your brake pedal is staying closer to the floor than usual.
If you experience any of these braking issues, immediately contact the team at ACT Brakes & Servicing for prompt assistance.
What common problems do people experience with their caravan or trailer?

The most common problems that people experience with their caravan or trailer are brake, axle and wheel bearing failures. These issues can be prevented by regularly servicing your car and trailer, and making sure all the other components on your vehicle are in proper working order.
How often should I have my brakes checked, and why is it important?

Mechanics generally recommend that they check your brakes every six months. This will ensure that your brakes are working properly and can handle heavy loads or frequent driving without wearing out quickly.
What steps should I take if I experience brake failure?

If your brakes are starting to fail, remain calm and maintain a safe speed. It's important not to take any chances if your brakes aren't working properly; braking quickly or making sudden manoeuvres can be very dangerous, especially on busy roads or in heavy traffic situations.

If possible, pull over safely to the side of the road as soon as you can. This will give you time to assess the situation. Lastly, call your local mechanic or organise a tow to the repair shop.
