Brakes are the most important safety feature on your car — and they’re also one of the most neglected. A well-maintained braking system can be the difference between a close call and a collision.

Signs your brakes need attention

• Squealing or grinding noises when braking

• Vibrations in the steering wheel or brake pedal

• A soft or spongy brake pedal

• Longer stopping distances

• Car pulling to one side when braking

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to get your brakes inspected — immediately.

Why regular brake checks matter
Brake pads, rotors, and fluid all wear over time. If you wait too long to service them, you risk metal-on-metal wear, costly repairs, or even total brake failure. Routine servicing ensures pads are replaced before they wear too thin and that your system stays responsive and reliable.

Protect your family — and your wallet
Brake checks are simple and fast but make a massive difference to your car’s safety. Replacing pads before they’re fully worn also saves your rotors from damage — which can be expensive to fix. At Accel Auto, we recommend having your brakes checked at least once a year, or any time you book a major service.

Drive with confidence
Whether you’re commuting, heading out on a road trip, or just doing the school run — reliable brakes keep you and your passengers safe. Let us give your braking system the all-clear so you can drive with peace of mind.
