Brakes

---

When should you get your Volvo’s brakes checked out? Any noise your car makes that’s not typical when braking; any reduction or difference in braking performance; or any noticeable smell when braking – these are all indicators that you must have your brakes inspected and serviced as soon as possible.If your brake warning light is on or there is a dashboard message. This could mean you have an antilock brake system (ABS) fault, which may be treated with a diagnostic check. After all, they’re all that stand between you and having a serious accident. Bring your car to our Volvo garage in Brighton and we’ll identify the problem, providing a full range of repairs or replacement of parts as necessary.

If you notice any combinations of these indicators, improve your safe driving and avoid more expensive repairs by bringing your car to our Volvo specialist garage in Brighton:

• Your brake warning light is on – this may mean the brakes are just due a routine service, but could indicate there’s a more serious problem.
• Grinding, squealing or squeaking when you apply the brakes – your brake pads could need replacing.
• Vibration when braking could indicate uneven wear or a warped brake disc
• Leaking fluid or a soft, spongy feel when you brake. You may be short on brake fluid, or air or moisture is in the braking system.
• Pulling to one side when braking could mean one or more brake calipers need sorting.
• A burning smell while in motion or after repeated braking could be any number of issues and needs checking out.
