3 Common Brake Issues That You Must Be Aware Of

Posted on by Ryan Pham

Car service is essential to ensure that your car is functioning properly and smoothly and it is the responsibility of every car driver. However, over time, you need to get your car checked if it starts making weird noises whenever you try to stop. If you’re unaware of the squeaky sound, it can be a sign that you need to check your brakes. Squeaking brakes are a headache and an alert for you to get it resolved. Here are a few types of common brake noises and how to fix them. You can fix this problem with our car service ringwood professionals.

3 Benefits of Regular Transmission Services

Vibration Of Brake Pads

If your brakes are new and still producing the squeaking sound, you must know that it needs greasing between the contact points. This requires removal of the brake pads from the calipers and then apply some grease in the contact points. The greasing should also be made on the backside of the brake pad and any contact points on the caliper carrier. Also, remember that the surface and brake pad friction surface has to be grease – free. In this case, you can do brake repairs ringwood with our professionals.

Worn Out Brake Pads

Generally, the noise lies within the worn-out brake pads and it should be replaced. Brake clips can be the cause of the noise and this happens when they are not installed properly, causing them to be loose. This will occur when the brake clips or shims were not properly installed from a previous mechanic. In this case, you can get it reinstalled with the help of a professional car mechanic ringwood or a brake specialist, and apply the essential lubricants to control the noise.

Improper Installation of Brake Shims and Clips

Brake shims and clips are used to prevent the ratting noise, vibrations, and sudden judders whenever brakes are used. Sometimes, improper installation may also lead to squeaky sounds.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY?

It would not be enough how much I write about Peter/PMA autowork here, but I would try to give a complete honest review. Few days back I got an Audi Q7 V8 4.2l from one of the private seller, and you tell me its my error in judgement or bad luck, I got into major problems like engine shuddering and multiple fault codes from day 1. I banged different doors including Audi and got lot of heartache with unimaginable quotes and time to repair. Then out of nowhere I saw PMA autoworks popped up in nearby mechanic ads. Right from that time Peter took control of the situation and laid out a plan to approach this major issue, he was very very communicative at every step and diagnosed the issue (which was exactly as Audi found) and suggested to replace timing chains ( please note in Audi Q7 replacing timing chain is a complicated task as it sits behind the engine, so that means, engine along with other components need to come out), also he showed me few other components were faulty and recommended to replace. He provided me a genuine quote and along with provided me lot of assurance and confidence of handling this major issue. He delivered the car within two weeks along as he commited in beginning with one year manufacture warranty and lifetime warranty of workmanship. and voila two weeks gone my car is running as smooth as ever before and even after delivering the car Peter from his side followed up couple of times to understand my experience.

This in my experience should be called as text book definition of customer satisfaction which Peter and his team have showed in every point without charging mindless money. Thanks a lot Peter and team!!

PMA has been the one-stop shop destination for all of my auto mechanical needs over the past two years. From installing a new sensor system to fixing an engine starter or periodic maintenance services, Peter and his team have delivered consistently excellent services at competitive prices. I appreciate Peter’s flexibility and efforts to accommodate customers’ requests. For an example, a month back, one of my cars failed to start. Needless to say, this got me very frustrated as I was about to drive to work in the morning. I called Peter and he did come to my garage after working hours to diagnose the problem. In the following morning, he came back to get it fixed by replacing the starter. I was very pleased with PMA’s agile, timely yet professional services. In addition, Peter always provides me with great consultation as to when things need to be done and what kinds of spare part/materials I should go with. This assisted me to work out a solution that suits my budget the most. In summary, I would highly recommend PMA auto for its great technical excellence and customer services and compettitive pricing.

Peter is very honest, I did a bit of price research before I went of the head unit upgrade and his price is by far the best and the reviews on him is great. I was recommended by a friend and this company didn’t disappoint! The new touch screen console is fabulous. And soooo reasonable priced. Will be going back there to do window tinting.

Had my Audi A4 2.0L turbo engine fully rebuilt for a bargain and can feel the difference in the drive, also better fuel consumption has improved a lot as well. For a massive job it was done thoroughly but speedy. Would definitely recommend any services done through PMA. Fantastic work all round, thank you team!

Peter was wonderful. He deserves a 5 stars, thank you very much by being honest by telling us that we could go back to car dealer for the sensor issue.

If you are after honest, professional and cost-effective services, PMA is highly recommended.

I always keep my cars in excellent condition with pma auto works. They also specialise with aftermarket parts. I service my mazda 6 and my Toyota 86 gti trd with them and both runs well and never had issue on it.they follow my service schemes manual on which need to inspect or replace so it’s the same service I get from but with a very less price.and the best thing is I get a drop off or a free loan car if I need to go to work.I highly recommend this to my friends and most of them do their car service here.

Best auto shop in Melbourne. I modded my wrx recently. With a valvetronic exhaust which was specifically designed and made by pma auto works. The car sounds beautiful all thanks to pma auto works and Peter. Prices are extremely cheaper than others and performance is what they deliver.
