Brake Pad Replacement
Your brake pads are one of the most important safety components in your vehicle. If they’re worn, noisy, or not stopping as they should, it’s essential to have them checked and replaced before they damage your rotors – or worse, compromise your safety on the road.
At Ultimate Automotive Hamilton, we provide fast, high-quality brake pad replacement and full brake system servicing for Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Subaru, Kia, Ford, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo, Mini Cooper and Range Rover.
Signs Your Brake Pads Need Replacing
Brake pads naturally wear down over time. If you’ve noticed any of the following, it’s time to get them checked:
Squealing, grinding or scraping sounds
– A shuddering or vibrating brake pedal
– Increased stopping distance
– Brake pedal feels soft or spongy
– Burning smell after braking
– Car pulls to one side under braking
– Brake warning light on the dash
