🛠️ CUSTOMER STORY: Don’t Ignore the Warning Signs! 🚗
Recently, a customer came into the workshop convinced their brakes were “still fine.” They were genuinely shocked when we removed the old brake discs and compared them with the brand-new replacements.
The photos say it all. Years of wear had left the old discs heavily corroded and worn, reducing braking performance and, more importantly, compromising safety. Thankfully, we replaced them before they became a much bigger problem.
So, how do you know when it’s time to have your brakes checked?
⚠️ Signs your brakes may need attention:
* Squeaking or squealing when braking
* Grinding noises (don’t ignore these!)
* Vibration or judder through the brake pedal or steering wheel
* Your car takes longer to stop than it used to
* A soft or spongy brake pedal
* The vehicle pulls to one side when braking
* The brake warning light appears on your dashboard
Your brakes are one of the most important safety systems on your vehicle. Catching wear early can help prevent more expensive repairs and, most importantly, keep you and your family safe on the road.
If you’ve noticed any of these warning signs—or it’s been a while since your brakes were checked—pop into Craigie Road Motors Ltd. We will be happy to inspect your brakes and give you honest advice with no unnecessary work.
