Brake System Services
Before carrying out any repairs, we perform a complete brake system inspection to accurately determine the cause of the fault.
We check brake pads and brake discs, brake calipers, brake fluid level and condition, braking performance. If necessary, we also inspect the ABS system and the hydraulic brake system.
Our brake services include:
-
Brake pad and brake disc replacement. Brake pads should be replaced when the friction material wears down to approximately 4–5 mm or less. Brake discs also have a minimum allowable thickness specified by the manufacturer, either on the disc itself or in the vehicle's technical documentation.
-
Brake disc resurfacing. If the brake discs have uneven wear or cause vibration during braking, they may be resurfaced. This restores the braking surface and can extend the life of the discs, provided they remain within the manufacturer's minimum thickness specification.
-
Brake fluid replacement. Recommended every 2 years or every 40,000–60,000 km.
-
Brake bleeding. We remove air from the brake system to restore proper hydraulic pressure and braking performance. This service is typically performed after repairs or brake fluid replacement.
-
Parking brake (handbrake) service. We inspect cable tension, mechanism operation and braking balance. If necessary, we adjust, clean or replace worn components.
-
ABS diagnostics and repair. We read fault codes, test ABS sensors and check system operation. Repairs range from replacing a faulty sensor to repairing wiring or the ABS control module.

Common Brake System Problems
Increased Braking Distance
This is most commonly caused by worn brake pads, brake discs or degraded brake fluid. It may also indicate a fault in the hydraulic brake system. A professional inspection is required to determine the exact cause.
Squeaking or Grinding When Braking
Light squeaking may simply be caused by dust or the characteristics of the brake pads, but it can also indicate worn components or uneven brake operation. We recommend checking the brake pads, discs and calipers.
Brake Pedal Vibrates During Braking
This is usually caused by warped or unevenly worn brake discs. In such cases, the discs should be inspected and, if necessary, resurfaced or replaced.
Vehicle Pulls to One Side While Braking
This may be caused by uneven braking force between the wheels, a sticking brake caliper or worn suspension components. Since this affects driving safety, prompt diagnostics are recommended.
Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal
This is one of the most serious warning signs. Possible causes include a brake fluid leak, air in the brake lines or a faulty master brake cylinder. Immediate inspection is strongly recommended.
Brake Fluid Leak
A brake fluid leak is a critical safety issue. Leaks may occur in brake hoses, connections or cylinders. Driving the vehicle in this condition is unsafe and requires immediate repair.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How often should the brake system be inspected?
We recommend a brake system inspection every 10,000–15,000 km, or immediately if you notice any symptoms of brake problems.
How long do brake pads last?
On average, 20,000–40,000 km, depending on your driving style and driving conditions.
How can I tell if my brake pads or discs are worn?
Many vehicles are equipped with brake pad wear sensors that alert you when the pads have reached their wear limit.
If your vehicle doesn't have wear sensors, the pads should be inspected visually. When the friction material is reduced to approximately 4–6 mm or less, braking performance begins to decrease and replacement should not be delayed.
Brake discs also have a minimum allowable thickness, specified either on the disc itself or in the vehicle manufacturer's documentation. If the disc is worn below this limit, it must be replaced.
During our inspection, we check all of these components and provide clear recommendations to help maintain safe braking performance and avoid unnecessary future expenses.
When should brake fluid be replaced?
Brake fluid should be replaced every 2 years or every 40,000–60,000 km.
Can I continue driving if the ABS warning light is on?
Yes, but it is not recommended. Your vehicle's standard brakes will continue to work, but the ABS system will be disabled, increasing the risk of wheel lock-up during emergency braking and reducing vehicle control. We recommend diagnosing and repairing the problem as soon as possible.
