When to Book a Brake or Clutch Service
Knowing when your brakes or clutch need attention can save you from unsafe driving and expensive repairs. At R&B Automotive, we recommend booking an inspection as soon as you notice any changes in how your vehicle feels or sounds.
Common warning signs include:
- Squeaking, grinding or spongy brakes
- Increased stopping distance or pulling to one side
- Clutch slipping or difficulty changing gears
- Burning smell or vibration when using the clutch
- Warning lights or unusual pedal feel
If any of these symptoms occur, don’t wait—our qualified mechanics can diagnose the issue and provide fast, reliable repairs.
FAQ
How often should my brakes be checked?
We recommend having your brakes inspected at every service or at least every 10,000 km. Regular checks help detect worn pads, fluid leaks or damaged components before they affect safety or cause costly repairs.
Can I still drive with worn brake pads?
Driving with worn brake pads is risky. It reduces stopping power and can damage rotors, leading to expensive repairs. It’s always safest to book a brake service as soon as possible.
What causes a clutch to wear out?
Clutches wear over time due to friction, frequent stop-start driving, heavy towing or riding the clutch pedal. Eventually, the clutch plate loses grip and needs repair or replacement to maintain performance.
