Signs that your brakes need service

Brake discs and pads

Grinding is the final warning.

Grinding often means the pads are worn out and metal is rubbing against the disc. At that point, just replacing the pads is no longer enough; the discs will also need to be replaced. The sooner you come in, the cheaper it will be.

What happens during brake service

The starting price includes pads and discs for one axle.

Calipers and brake fluid are priced separately, and you will be informed about them before the work begins.

Brake fluid is easily forgotten

approx. 2 yearsbrake fluid change interval for many manufacturers

Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, and moist fluid boils more easily during heavy braking. The pedal can then go all the way to the floor. Many manufacturers recommend replacement every two years. We check it during every service.

Book brake service

Brake service starts at 120 euros. The price is affected by the size of the car, the type of brakes, and whether only the pads or also the discs are replaced. Parts for larger cars and more powerful brakes cost more.

Many newer cars have an electronic parking brake, which requires a diagnostic tool to replace the rear pads. You will always get a price estimate before anything is replaced.

Good to know

Pads or discs?

Brake pads wear out faster than discs. Often, discs are replaced every other time the pads are changed, but the decision is made by measuring, not guessing.

If the disc thickness is below the manufacturer’s limit or there are deep grooves in the surface, the discs are replaced at the same time. Otherwise, only the pads are replaced.

Frequently asked questions

Didn’t find the answer? Call 010 582 0520 or send a message.

How often should brake pads be replaced?

Front pads typically last 30,000–60,000 kilometers, but driving style matters a lot. In the city and in hilly terrain, pads wear out faster than on the highway. The most reliable way is to measure them, and we do that during every service.

How do you know when brake pads are worn out?

The most common sign is squeaking or metallic grinding when braking. In many cars, a warning light also comes on when the pad wear sensor triggers. Grinding often means that metal is already rubbing against the disc, so you shouldn't wait at that point.

How much does brake service cost?

Brake service at BX-Motors starts at 120 euros. The final price depends on the car and what all needs to be replaced. An estimate always comes first.

Can brakes be serviced during other maintenance?

Yes. During periodic maintenance, the brakes are checked anyway, and if the pads are worn out, they can be replaced during the same visit.

How long does brake service take?

Brake service takes about three hours. The time depends on whether only the pads or also the discs are replaced and on which axle.

Do you service electric vehicle brakes?

Please confirm this with BX-Motors.
