Frequently Asked Questions

How often should brake pads and rotors be replaced?

Brake pads generally need to be replaced every 40,000 to 70,000 kilometres, although the exact timing depends on your driving style, vehicle type and road conditions. City driving with frequent stop-and-go traffic tends to wear out brake pads faster than highway driving. Brake rotors usually last longer than pads, but they should be inspected at every service. In some cases, rotors can be machined (resurfaced) to remove uneven wear, but if they are too thin or damaged, they will need replacing. Signs that your brakes may need attention include squealing noises, grinding, vibration when braking or a longer stopping distance. Keeping your brakes in good condition is critical for your safety and maintaining control of your vehicle.
What causes my steering wheel to shake?

A shaking steering wheel can be caused by several different mechanical problems, and diagnosing it early is important for safe driving. Common causes include unbalanced or damaged tyres, misaligned wheels, worn suspension parts or warped brake rotors. If the steering wheel shakes mainly while braking, it’s often related to issues with the brake system. If it occurs at higher speeds, tyre or wheel balancing issues are more likely. Worn wheel bearings, tie rods and ball joints can also cause vibrations that travel up to the steering wheel. Ignoring steering wheel vibrations can lead to more severe mechanical issues and reduced control over the vehicle. A mechanic can inspect and diagnose the cause, recommending the necessary repairs to restore smooth and safe handling.
How do I know if my suspension needs repairs?

Several warning signs could indicate your suspension system needs attention. If you notice your car pulling to one side while driving, a rough or bouncy ride over bumps, or the car dipping forward when braking, the suspension could be compromised. Uneven tyre wear, leaking shocks or struts, and difficulty steering, especially at low speeds, are also common indicators. A failing suspension system can reduce your control of the vehicle, making driving dangerous. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your suspension checked by a qualified mechanic. Regular inspections can identify worn components early, ensuring a smoother ride, better handling and improved vehicle safety.
Why is my car losing power while driving?

If your car feels like it’s losing power while driving, several issues could be to blame. Common causes include clogged fuel filters, faulty spark plugs, a failing fuel pump, blocked air filters or problems with the mass airflow sensor. In some cases, transmission issues or a slipping clutch (for manual vehicles) can also lead to a noticeable loss of power. Faulty sensors or engine misfires triggered by ignition system faults can affect acceleration and responsiveness. Because a loss of power can point to multiple possible problems, it’s important to have the vehicle diagnosed by a mechanic as soon as possible. Prompt repairs not only restore performance but also prevent further damage to vital components.
