Frequently Asked Questions

What factors can affect the performance of your brakes?
Major factors that can impact brake performance include:
- General wear & tear—Over time, your brakes will naturally wear down, requiring more frequent maintenance to keep them in good condition.
- Road conditions—Poor road conditions, such as potholes or uneven surfaces, can not only damage your car but also put extra strain on your brakes.
- Driving style & habits—If you tend to drive at high speeds or apply heavy pressure when braking, this could cause excessive wear on your brakes.
- Poor quality brake pads or linings—If the materials used to make your brake pads or linings are not of high quality, they may wear down more quickly and require more frequent maintenance.
How can I best maintain my brakes?
There are numerous ways that you can help keep your brakes performing as effectively as possible, including:
- Regularly checking your brake fluids to ensure there are always sufficient levels. Your mechanic can replace any old fluid using only manufacturer-recommended brands and models.
- Ensuring your car’s braking system is inspected periodically by a qualified expert who can identify and remedy any issues.
- Using high-quality brake pads that are designed for the specific vehicle you own. A professional must install these to ensure they are correctly fitted and not worn down excessively.
These steps will keep your brakes in good condition, allowing you to drive safely.
What is diagnostic technology?

Diagnostic technology is a process that allows mechanics to inspect your brakes for issues, such as worn brake pads or damaged rotors. This technology can help ensure that your car, truck, caravan or trailer stays safe on the road. There are several different technologies used in brake diagnostics, including electronic system monitoring and computer-controlled calliper testing.
What is the difference between ABS and non-ABS braking systems?

ABS stands for "anti-lock braking system" and is a feature that can be found on most modern vehicles. ABS brakes use special technology to prevent accidents, by reducing the risk of skidding while braking. ABS brakes tend to be more responsive than non-ABS brakes when travelling at high speeds. With non-ABS brakes, drivers need to manually pump their brake pedals to avoid accidents caused by wheels locking up and slipping across the road surface.

ABS systems are particularly useful in adverse weather conditions. Compared with standard brake systems, ABS is generally considered more effective for preventing vehicle crashes and keeping drivers safe on the road.
