Brake Repair Kitchener: Types of Services Hansma Provides

Brake Safety Checks

It is a good idea to get your brakes checked about every 6 months. A good time to have this done is when you are getting your tires rotated or when you are putting on or taking off your snow tires. At Hansma Automotive we'll do a thorough brake safety check for you that includes:

• Checking your brake pads and shoes for wear

• Checking your brake drums and rotors for wear

• Taking a look at your wheel cylinders and calipers for leaks

• Checking your hydraulic lines and hoses for leaks, kinks and blockages

• Making sure that the fluid in the master cylinder is in good condition and at the right level

Changing Your Brake Pads

At Hansma Automotive we will replace your worn brake pads with high quality ones that will prolong the life of your brakes. It is important to maintain your brakes so you can avoid a costly repair on your entire braking system.

Replacing your worn brake pads before they damage your disks or drums is a relatively small cost as compared to replacing damaged disks or drums.

Caliper Replacement

Your brake caliper houses your brake pads and pistons. The caliper uses one or more pistons to clamp down on each side of the brake disc. This action is what stops your vehicle. Your calipers need to be in good condition in order for your vehicle to safely come to a stop.

At Hansma we can check to make sure that your calipers are working well and if not we can replace them for you.

Brake Repair Kitchener: Signs You Need it

1. Soft Brake Pedal:

If you press the brake pedal and it seems softer than usual and you have to apply a lot of pressure in order to stop it may be time for a brake repair. You could have a leak in the brake system, either of air in the braking hose or a braking fluid leak.

2. Squealing Sound:

If you hear a high pitch squealing sound when you apply pressure on the brakes you may need a brake repair. However, if your car has been sitting for a while and has been exposed to water, you may hear this sound when you brake. This doesn't necessarily mean that the brakes need replacing; however, if the sound persists then you should have them checked by a professional.

3. Pulling to One Side:

If your car pulls to one side while braking, this could mean that the brake linings are wearing unevenly or there may be an impurity in the braking fluid. You may need to have your braking fluid replaced, or you may require a brake adjustment. Either way, the friendly technicians at Hansma would be happy to help.

4. Grinding Sound:

If you hear a loud metallic grinding sound, this may mean that your brake pads are totally worn down and the metal from the caliper is rubbing on the metal of the disc. This can scratch your rotors and they may need to be turned or replaced.

5. Vibration:

If you feel vibrations or pulsing when you push the brake pedal, this may be a sign that your rotor is warped or that your vehicle is out of alignment. Have it checked out in order to know which.
