At Jose Street Auto Centre we are fully equipped to service your brakes including the machining of brake drums and disc's. We only use quality brake parts that we know through experience won't squeal or shudder.

Brake pads and shoes should be regularly monitored and replaced before they wear out. Squealing and grinding noises will usually indicate that your brakes are completely worn out and need urgent attention.

The life expectancy of brake linings are dependent on driving style, load carrying and road conditions such as driving in hilly areas. Disc and drum machining should be done with every pad or shoe change unless the disc or drum is excessively worn and needs to be replaced. It is important that a fresh lining runs on a fresh and straight disc/drum surface to ensure maximum contact, minimum noise and no pulsation.

Brake hydraulic systems need regular flushing to ensure that, moisture and corrosion build up wont damage seals and cause leaks. Any leakage in the brake hydraulic system could be fatal.

In conclusion it is best to have your brakes regularly monitored through general servicing. If you have no idea of their integrity, have them inspected by a professional at Jose Street Auto Centre ASAP.
