Professional brake check for your vehicle

Why regular brake maintenance is important

Brakes decelerate the vehicle due to friction between the brake pads and the brake disc. This friction causes material to be removed over the long term, which reduces braking efficiency. Even if a vehicle stands still for a long period of time and is not moved, this has a negative impact on the brakes, as this can lead to corrosion.

What services does the brake check include?

The brake check at CSB Schimmel Automobile consists of a visual inspection, during which our specialists carry out a thorough visual inspection of your brake system. The brake discs and drums are checked for wear, damage and abrasion. We make sure that there are no cracks, deep grooves or other signs of wear that could impair the performance of your brakes.

How often is a brake check useful?

A brake check is usually part of an inspection and is therefore recommended at least once a year. It is also part of every general inspection, which is mandatory every two years. However, there are also exceptional cases and indications where you should book an appointment for a brake check at your trusted garage. These include

• After emergency braking at high speeds
• Before upcoming journeys
• In the event of unusual noises
• If the brake pedal pulsates
• If the braking effect is noticeably reduced
