Imagine noticing that your car is braking poorly or the brake pedal feels spongy. These signs are concerning and require immediate attention. A Brake System Inspection helps identify the issue - whether it's worn parts, fluid leaks, or something else. We will carefully examine all components so you can feel confident and safe behind the wheel again.
Signs It's Time to Check Your Brakes

Additional Information About the Service
A Brake System Inspection is a crucial part of vehicle maintenance that helps identify any brake issues before they become a serious safety threat. We thoroughly examine all key components to determine what needs attention - whether it's replacing parts or simply cleaning and adjusting.
Diagnosis and Inspection
Our specialists start with a visual inspection of the brake pads and discs. Often, pads can be restored if they are not excessively worn - for example, by replacing the linings or cleaning the caliper slides. However, if the pads or discs show deep damage or excessive wear, we recommend replacing them entirely to ensure reliable braking.
We also check the level and condition of the brake fluid - over time, it loses its properties, affecting the entire system's performance. If the fluid is contaminated or too old, we recommend replacing it to maintain brake efficiency.
Checking Components and Parts
We inspect all lines and hoses for leaks and cracks that could lead to pressure loss. Special attention is given to the master brake cylinder and calipers - if they are not functioning correctly, they may need cleaning and adjustment or replacement. Our specialists will explain when repairs are possible and when it's better to replace a part to avoid future problems.
Final Steps and Recommendations
After inspection and testing, we provide detailed recommendations for next steps. Sometimes, a simple cleaning and adjustment are enough; in other cases, several parts may need replacing. We always explain the reasons and options so you can make an informed decision. Typically, the entire procedure takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the system's condition.
