So, what’s the magic number? Well, most car manufacturers suggest every six months to a year or every 10,000kms, whichever comes first. But keep in mind, this is just for an average vehicle. Cars that perform more heavy duty tasks are advised to have more frequent services. Plus, if you drive an older car, it might be worth booking in a little earlier and keeping a close eye on your odometer. Good mechanical repairers should look at your car and individually diagnose it (just like if it were a person going to the doctor - everyone’s different!).

Why do I have to replace my brake disc rotors when all I need is just brake pads? Most times when your vehicle requires brakes to be replaced, only your brake pads will need replacement. If your disc rotors are requiring replacement this will be due to either the disc rotors being below minimum thickness or because they are warped. If the disc rotors are warped, you’ll usually be feeling shudder when your vehicle is braking. For our European customers, you will usually require new disc rotors every second brake pad change.

Is it safe to keep driving? Without carrying a diagnostic check of your vehicle this is very hard to determine. It is best to seek professional advice before proceeding. We will run you through a series or questions to determine whether it is possible to keep driving. Our best recommendation is if you’re unsure arrange for your vehicle to be towed, this will provide peace of mind and save you money on causing unnecessary damage to your vehicle.
