Brake service, repair and replacement in Shrewsbury

There’s no doubt that the brakes are one of the most important systems on your car. And sometimes, it can be easy to tell if they are wearing due to the strange noises you hear when you use them. But did you know you can have a brake service to ensure they are in good condition? This is just one of the services offered to our customers around Shrewsbury by Viking Motors.

How to tell if brakes need servicing

Lots of modern cars have a little light that tells you when the car needs servicing. But this is a general thing based on the mileage you have done. Knowing when your brakes need servicing can be a little trickier. There are some signs that a service might be needed.
If you hear metallic grinding noises when you use your brakes, this is often a sign the brake pads are worn out and need to have a replacement fitted. Brake pads are designed to handle a lot of heat but there is metal underneath and you can’t miss the terrible noise of metal on metal when the pad has worn down.
Squeaking from the brakes is another sign you may need to have a repair – don’t leave this one long as it can cause damage to brake pads, linings and drums.
