Few vehicle components can have a bigger impact on your safety than your brakes. Rely on the  Dumont Tirecraft to you to inspect brakes every 24,000 km or every 12 months to help spot worn components before they lead to costlier repairs. If your brakes are dragging, squealing, grinding, pulling your vehicle to one side, or if the brake pedal seems low, come in for service right away!

Do your brakes need servicing?

• Noises – Squealing can indicate brake pads that have worn down to the indicators. A grinding sound can mean pads have worn down to their backings, which are coming in contact with rotors.
• Warning lights – “BRAKE”, “ABS” or “ANTILOCK” warning lights will briefly turn on when you first start your vehicle. If they stay on or continue to flash, there may be a fault in the anti-lock braking system.
• Pedal sensations – A pulsing pedal can indicate rotors that are out of round, while a low pedal can indicate the need to adjust rear brakes.
• Performance – “Spongy” brakes can indicate that air is entering the brake system. A vehicle that pulls to the side may indicate brakes are not balanced, or there may be a calliper problem.
• Low brake fluids – Dropping levels of brake fluid can indicate wearing disc brakes. The fluid fills the space left by the calliper pistons as they are required to move outward. Frequent top-ups can be a sign of a leak in the hydraulic system, which should be addressed by a qualified technician. Only use the type of fluid recommended in your owner’s manual
