Frequently Asked Questions About Our Brake Services

What Does a Brake Inspection Include?

When you hit the brakes, there are a lot of moving parts involved in bringing you and your vehicle to a full stop. At our Jaguar service center near Manchester, a thorough brake inspection includes a comprehensive look at each of these components to ensure they're running smoothly. After examining your pads, calipers, rotors, and more, our experienced technicians can make any necessary repairs or replacements.

How Often Do I Need to Get My Brakes Checked?

While you may not need to get your brakes changed until you notice any issues, we recommend routine brake inspections every six months. This regular checkup allows our technicians to keep an eye out for any issues and get ahead of a problem before it causes any further damage. However, if you're tackling a lot of long journeys, you may want to consider scheduling an appointment sooner.

How Do I Know My Brakes Need to be Serviced?

If your brakes haven't been serviced recently, you'll want to keep an eye out for any warning signs that you can't wait any longer. If you experience any of these sounds, smells, or sensations, you'll want to schedule an appointment:

• Brake Light - Most models include a convenient warning light located on the dashboard that can alert you to any issues with your brakes. When this light flickers on, you'll want to schedule your next appointment and allow our experienced technicians to diagnose the problem.
• Screeching, Grinding, or Squealing - While driving your Jaguar model, it will be hard to ignore these troubling sounds. These sounds may mean that your brake pads and shoes may be worn and need to be inspected. Without service, this could lead to further damage and costly repairs down the road.
• Vibrations - If you feel your vehicle or steering wheel shake when you push down on the brake pedal, this could signify that your brakes are worn down. Ignoring these vibrations could warp your rotors out of shape and cause a larger problem.
• Less Responsive - If your brakes are becoming less responsive and you have to apply more pressure than normal to bring your vehicle to a stop, your brake pads are likely worn. You won't want to ignore this for long, especially because it could eventually cause your brakes to stop working altogether.
• Bad Odor - As a rule of thumb, if you smell any noxious odors coming from your vehicle or tires, you'll want to get it serviced as soon as possible. Our experienced technicians will thoroughly inspect your braking system to find the source of the issue.
