You'll not hear any argument when you say that timely brake servicing is important, but too many people still put it off even when it's plainly obvious that their brakes aren't working as they should.

Brake pedal sits lower than it used to - usually indicates a problem with the brake fluid itself or the hydraulic system through which it runs

Braking takes a lot of effort - could be a problem with the booster which is meant to magnify the force you apply to the brake pedal to the level needed to stop the car

Brake is hard, feels spongy or the call pulls to one side when you brake - typically a problem in your brake lines such as a leak which prevents to brake fluid from flowing through the system properly

Brake Service or repairs are clearly required if your car takes longer to stop than normal when you hit the brakes. However there are less noticeable warning signs that you must look out for to maintain your safety when travelling on the road.

If you notice the following warning signs - it's time to test your brakes.

• There is a spongy soft or harder feel to your brake pedal
• The brake pedal feels low
• During braking your vehicle loses grip
• Your car pulls to the left or right while braking
• The steering wheel shudders when braking
• You hear a high pitched squeak or squeal when the brakes are applied.

Brakes are critical for safety in all vehicles; not having regular brake maintenance and testing means you are putting your life in danger. Braking systems should get an examination at every service and by a qualified technician.
