The Signs Of Bad Brakes
All brakes disintegrate and fail over time, just like any other machine part. You can’t expect any brakes to last forever. But it’s important to know what signs to look out for so that you can be aware of when your brakes are starting to fail. As long as you are aware of these signs, you should be able to spot them early on, and therefore avoid any accidents from occurring, as you will be able to have them replaced in good time.
Some of the clear signs of bad brakes include:
- If they produce noise when you push the brake, then that is a clear sign that they will need replacing soon. As soon as you start to notice this, make sure that you get them replaced.
- If the pedal pulsates as you brake, then that too is a clear sign that the brakes might be getting past their date.
- Of course, one obvious sign is that the brakes simply do not respond in the way that they should when you apply them. If that starts happening, you need to go in for a brake repair or brake replacement as soon as possible.
- If you have noticed that it is gradually taking longer and longer to slow down when you brake, then you know that your brakes are on their way out.
Any of these signs should be taken seriously, especially if you have more than one of them crop up at once.

The Brake Replacement Process
If you feel that it is time to get your brakes replaced, call Accurate Auto and we’ll be able to get started right away. We are more than happy to ensure that you have new brakes in good time, so you can drive away in confidence knowing that you are driving a safe and secure vehicle. So what happens during the brake replacement process if you come to Accurate Automotive?
Our mechanics will carry out a thorough check of all of your brakes, including the brake pads, the rotors, and anything else that might appear necessary to look into. As part of the brake replacement process your vehicle will, as standard, receive a full brake service. This ensures that we can determine exactly what the health of the underlying system is, which enables us to spot any problems there which you would not otherwise necessarily know about. This is an important part of the process, and we are proud to say that we include it as part of our standard brake repair and brake replacement process.
If we discover that there is a problem with your brake pads, then more often than not it will be a simple case of getting new brakes. Because replacing these brakes pads is so important, we always offer OEM brake pads as well as the best quality aftermarket brake pads offered, so that they are going to last as long as possible. This will save you money in the long run, and you will also have the secure feeling of knowing that your brakes are much more safe and secure as you drive. We give you these premium brake pads so that you know you are driving in safety, and that is the most important thing of all.
The rotors essentially help to stop the car by pressing on the brake pads. If they are not just the right thickness for the brake pads, then you are going to find that they can cause the pads to wear down faster. We will check all this to ensure that you have the right thickness rotors, and if not then we will make a point of replacing them as soon as possible. We are always happy to replace and repair the rotors wherever necessary as part of our standard brake replacement service.
At the same time, if we spot any other issues, then we are going to try and fix it where possible and replace it where necessary. Our primary goal is to ensure that you have a safe car to drive away, and that you are not spending any more than you have to in order to make that happen. We are committed to keeping you happy every step of the way.
