At AWS Mechanical, brake repairs begin with a detailed inspection of the entire braking system. This includes checking brake pads and shoes for wear, inspecting rotors or drums for scoring or warping and measuring brake fluid levels and condition.
If the brake pedal feels soft or spongy, air in the brake lines or old fluid could be the cause, in which case bleeding or flushing the system may be required. Noisy brakes often indicate worn pads, glazed rotors or hardware that’s come loose. Vibrations when braking can signal rotor issues or uneven pad wear.
Repairs may involve replacing brake pads, machining or replacing rotors, fixing leaking calipers and topping up or flushing brake fluid. Modern ABS-equipped vehicles also require careful system resets and sensor checks. Professional brake repair not only restores stopping power but also ensures safe handling, better fuel efficiency and longer tyre life.
