How can you tell if it's time for a rotors or brake pads replacement?

The braking system on your vehicle is an absolutely essential part of keeping you and others safe on the road. As such, if you experience any of the following issues, it's vital that you seek professional advice before you drive your vehicle again.

Pulling to one side

 If the car pulls to one side when you apply pressure to the brake pedal it could mean that your brakes have worn unevenly

Vehicle shakes

If the entire vehicle shakes when you apply the brakes it might indicate an abnormal connection between brake pad and brake rotor

Squealing noises

 A squealing noise from the brake caliper when you use the brakes could mean overly worn pads are causing metal to connect with metal

Slower braking

Coming to a halt noticeably slower than is normal in your vehicle could mean your pads are losing effectiveness.

Marks or scores on rotors

Noticeable marks or deterioration on the disc rotor could mean overly worn pads are scratching the rotor

Warning lights

A warning light may be indicating that there's a problem with brake components and you need new pads or rotors. It could also mean brake fluid is low or there's a brake system or master cylinder fault.

What does having new brake pads and rotors involve?

The good news is, brake pads and rotors are designed to be replaced fairly easily - so this is going to be a routine job that all mechanics are familiar with. This helps to keep labour costs down and usually means you'll get an accurate quote with very little inspection work required.

Having pads and rotors replaced requires the car to be lifted. This is usually done with a workshop lift - although mobile mechanics may just lift the front and back of the car in turn.

 After the wheels are removed, the calipers can be undone and lifted clear of the rotors. With the calipers free, the brake pads are quickly and easily removed - with the retaining clips ordinarily holding them in place.

At this stage, most mechanics will perform a visual inspection of other components to ensure there are no issues elsewhere in the system. The brake lines (known individually as a 'brake line' or 'brake hose') will be carefully inspected for any signs of leaking hydraulic fluid.

With a detailed inspection complete, the rotors are removed from the wheel hub and new rotors are slid into place. It's absolutely essentially that these are secured to the correct torque settings as stipulated by the manufacturer.

With the new parts installed, the wheels will be replaced and the vehicle will be driven to ensure that your new brake pads and rotors are working as they should.
