FAQ about Brakes Batteries and Tyres
Brakes

- Q: What are the signs that my brakes need servicing? A: Common signs include squeaking or grinding noises, a spongy brake pedal, longer stopping distances, and a vibrating steering wheel when braking. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your brakes checked by a qualified mechanic.
- Q: What does a brake service include? A: A brake service typically includes inspecting the brake pads, rotors, and calipers, checking the brake fluid level, and ensuring all components are functioning properly. It may also involve replacing worn brake pads and resurfacing or replacing rotors if necessary.
Batteries
- Q: How do I know if my car battery needs to be replaced? A: Signs that your battery may need replacement include difficulty starting the engine, dim headlights, and electrical issues. If your battery is more than three years old, it’s a good idea to have it tested regularly.
- Q: Can I replace my car battery myself? A: While it is possible to replace a car battery yourself, it is recommended to have it done by a professional to ensure the correct battery is installed and to avoid any potential issues with your vehicle’s electrical system.
- Q: How long does a car battery typically last? A: On average, a car battery lasts between three to five years. However, factors such as driving habits, weather conditions, and maintenance can affect its lifespan.
Tyres
- Q: How often should I check my tyre pressure? A: It is recommended to check your tyre pressure at least once a month and before long trips. Proper tyre pressure ensures optimal handling, fuel efficiency, and tyre longevity.
- Q: What are the signs that my tyres need to be replaced? A: Signs that your tyres need replacement include low tread depth, visible cracks or bulges, and frequent loss of air pressure. If you notice any of these issues, it’s important to have your tyres inspected by a professional.
- Q: How often should I rotate my tyres? A: Tyre rotation is recommended every 10,000 to 12,000 kilometers or as specified in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. Regular rotation helps ensure even tyre wear and extends the life of your tyres.
