FAQs
How often do brake pads and discs need replacing?
Pads typically last 20,000-40,000 miles and discs around 40,000-60,000 miles, though this varies a lot with driving style and conditions. We check wear at every service and let you know before it becomes urgent.
Why is my brake pedal spongy or soft?
Usually air or moisture in the brake fluid, which needs bleeding or a fluid change. It can also point to worn pads or a fault elsewhere in the system, so it’s worth getting checked promptly rather than waiting.
Is it safe to keep driving with a brake warning light on?
Not recommended. It could mean anything from low fluid to worn pads, and it’s not something to guess at. Get it checked as soon as you can, ideally before your next drive.
