Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the signs that my brakes need repairing?

    Common signs include squealing or grinding noises, a soft or spongy brake pedal, vibrations when braking, longer stopping distances, or a warning light on your dashboard. These symptoms often point to worn brake pads, damaged rotors, or hydraulic issues. It’s best to have any concerns checked by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.

  • What causes a clutch to slip?

    Clutch slipping usually happens when the clutch disc wears down and can no longer grip the flywheel properly. This results in the engine revving without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed. It can also be caused by oil contamination, weak pressure plates, or misadjustments in the clutch cable or hydraulics. Slipping should be addressed quickly to avoid further damage to the transmission system.

  • How long do brake pads and clutches typically last?

    Brake pads can last anywhere from 30,000 to 70,000km depending on your driving habits, the type of vehicle, and road conditions. Clutches typically last between 100,000 and 150,000km, though heavy use, towing, or city driving may wear them out sooner. Regular servicing helps track wear and spot early signs of issues.
