Brakes and Braking Performance Deteriorates Over Time

Like all components, brakes and indeed braking performance deteriorate over time and because it happens gradually, many people don’t notice the difference in their braking system. Having your brakes checked regularly could also save you time and money by preventing damage to other components.
If you are concerned about the performance of your brakes then call to book an appointment for a no-obligation brake inspection.
After the inspection we will provide you with a written brake report and quote for any work required.

When the disc wears, it becomes less efficient at dissipating heat, which in turn affects the performance.

The disc is subject to continued brake applications as it wears and this can result in cracking. Any disc which is cracked, no matter how small, MUST be replaced immediately as it is dangerous.

A disc which has corroded prematurely is a possible sign that another part of the braking system is not operating correctly.

If the surface of the brake disc is scored or scratched in any way, this will decrease the brake’s efficiency so should be replaced. You should also check the condition of the pads for any sign of foreign material between the pads and the disc surface.

Blueing is an indication of excessive heat being generated and the shades of discolouration range to deep blue.
