Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of worn brake pads or brake components?
Common signs may include squealing or grinding noises when braking, reduced stopping ability, a soft brake pedal, vibration under braking, or the brake warning light on your dashboard. Because brakes are safety-critical, diagnosis and inspection by a qualified mechanic is recommended before replacement.
Can I replace only one side of the brakes?
Brake pads and discs are normally replaced as an axle set (both sides at the same time) to maintain balanced, even braking. Replacing only one side can cause the vehicle to pull when braking. Consult a qualified mechanic for guidance.
