Wet leaves, dark evenings… how are your brakes feeling? 🍂
Autumn roads are some of the trickiest of the year. Wet leaves, standing water and early sunsets mean you’re relying on your brakes more than you might think.
A few signs it’s time to get them looked at:
✅ Squealing, grinding or scraping when you brake
✅ The pedal feels soft, spongy or sinks further than usual
✅ The car pulls to one side when you slow down
✅ Vibration through the pedal or steering wheel
✅ A brake warning light on the dashboard
Brake fluid matters too. Over time it absorbs moisture, which can make your brakes less effective, so it’s worth checking it’s been changed in line with your service schedule.
If anything feels different, don’t wait for winter to arrive. Pop in and our team will give your brakes a thorough check, so you’re ready for whatever the season throws at you.
