Your brakes are trying to let you know that they are worn out. Many vehicles are equipped with sensors that transmit a high-pitched sound to alert you that its time to replace your pads.

Facts about your brakes
Brakes are designed to be replaced at 40000 miles however, there are many factors that determine how long they will last such as. The type of car you drive, your driving style, and what pads you've previously had fitted will all affect the lifespan of brakes. If you think there might be a problem with your brakes, get them checked by The FastFit Centre today. We have listed some of the signs we think you should look out for and the telltale signs of worn brakes.
What to watch out for
Always looking at your mileage gives you a good gauge to monitor your brakes life. Brakes naturally deteriorate over time been subjected to heat on a regular basis. Brake discs should always be replaced in pairs never singularly and new pads always replaced at the same time as discs. Discs should be replaced at around 40000 miles, while pads every 25000 miles.A high-pitched or grinding sound can mean metal components are grinding together where there was once a pad. if you hear grinding noises we suggest you stop driving your car immediately!. We offer a pickup service meaning if your brakes are in a condition where they should not be used or it is not safe to use the vehicle with the brakes the way they are we can pick up your vehicle for you. If you hear unusual sounds when you press the brake pedal, there could be a problem with your brake system. The sound will be audible while the windows are up, however, not necessarily loud enough to hear over the radio. You may also notice a squeaking sound if the car has been parked in the rain or standing water for long periods.
Leaks on the inner wheels
Your braking system is complex. If there are worn seals, loose connections or split hoses in the system, air and fluid can leak out, affecting your ability to brake. Look out for fluid on the inner wheels - brake fluid is normally clear, with a slight odour. Pulling to the left or right. When you brake, does your car pull towards the left or right? As you press the brake pedal the pads need to be applied equally, and if one is worn more than the other, pulling to one side may occur. Another potential cause may be sticking or failing brake calliper.
Vibrations: If you notice some vibration in your steering wheel or brake pedal as you slow down, get your brakes checked. Vibration in your brake pedal is a sign that your brake discs are warped.
Pressing to the floor: Drivers also need to be aware of how responsive their brakes are. If you have to press the pedal nearly all the way to the floor before the car starts to slow down, this could be down to a problem with your hydraulic braking system.
Warning light: If your dashboard is displaying the brake warning light, get your car checked immediately. This is likely an indication that the brake hydraulic system has failed. Do not drive your vehicle under any circumstances in this condition, not even the garage we will pick up your vehicle.
