Your vehicle’s braking system is one of its most important safety systems, so brake maintenance should never be left until something goes wrong. Regular brake inspections can help identify worn or damaged components before they affect braking performance, helping give you confidence that your brakes will respond when you need them most.

At Lismore Automotive Service, we recommend having your brakes checked as part of regular vehicle servicing, as well as having any unusual brake noise, vibration or changes in braking performance investigated promptly. A small warning sign can sometimes indicate wear that needs attention before it develops into a more expensive repair.

Brake pads are a key part of a disc braking system. When you apply the brakes, the pads are pressed against the brake rotors, creating friction that slows and stops the vehicle. This process generates considerable heat, and repeated braking gradually wears the friction material on the pads.

Brake pad wear varies considerably depending on the vehicle, brake components, driving style, traffic conditions, terrain and how heavily the vehicle is used. Frequent stop-start driving, towing, carrying heavy loads and driving in hilly areas can all increase brake wear. This is why there is no single kilometre figure that accurately predicts when every set of brake pads needs replacing.

Squealing or squeaking brakes can sometimes indicate worn brake pads, as some pads incorporate a wear indicator designed to produce a warning noise when the friction material becomes low. However, noise does not always mean the pads are worn, and worn pads do not always make an obvious noise.

Other warning signs include a brake pedal that feels different, increased stopping distance, steering wheel or pedal vibration when braking, the vehicle pulling to one side, grinding noises or a brake warning light appearing on the dashboard. Any change in braking performance should be checked by a qualified mechanic rather than ignored.

At Lismore Automotive Service, our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report includes checking brake components for signs of wear and deterioration during a car service. If attention is required, we can explain what has been identified and recommend appropriate repairs or replacement parts for your vehicle and driving conditions.

How Do I Know If My Brakes Need Attention?

Brake components are critical to vehicle safety and are not an area where shortcuts should be taken. Brake repairs and component replacement require the correct parts, tools, inspection procedures and knowledge of the vehicle’s braking system.

At Lismore Automotive Service, we provide brake inspections, maintenance and repairs using quality parts, with eligible repairs covered by the Repco Nationwide Warranty. Depending on the vehicle and the issue identified, our brake services can include:

If you are experiencing unusual brake noise, vibration or changes in braking performance, don't wait for the problem to become more serious. Contact Lismore Automotive Service in Lismore to arrange a professional brake inspection or discuss your vehicle's braking needs.
