Our team works on all makes and models and uses only proven parts and techniques to keep your vehicle safe, smooth and ready for the road ahead.
Why is my brake pedal soft or spongy?
A soft or spongy brake pedal usually points to air in the brake lines or low brake fluid. It can also indicate worn brake pads, a failing master cylinder or a leak in the system. Since braking performance is critical for safety, it’s important to get a proper inspection as soon as you notice the issue.
What are the signs of a worn clutch?
Common signs of a worn clutch include difficulty changing gears, a slipping sensation under acceleration, vibrations through the pedal, or a burning smell. You may also notice higher revs without increased speed. These symptoms usually mean the clutch disc, pressure plate or release bearing is worn and may need adjustment, repair or full replacement.
How long do brake pads typically last?
Brake pads generally last between 40,000 to 100,000 kilometres, depending on driving style, road conditions and the type of vehicle. City driving with frequent braking can wear them out faster. It’s a good idea to have them checked regularly, especially if you hear squealing or grinding noises or if the stopping distance has noticeably increased.
