Brake check

Your brakes are the most important safety system on your vehicle. When something starts to feel off—whether it is a new noise, a longer stopping distance or a change in pedal feel—it is best to have a professional inspect the system before the issue grows. At Tony’s Toys, our brake check service looks at every part that helps your car stop smoothly, from the brake pads and rotors to the calipers, brake lines and fluid condition.

Every brake inspection begins with a hands-on assessment of pad thickness using specialised gauges. We check rotor surfaces with micrometers, look for signs of scoring or warping, and examine calipers for sticking or uneven pressure. Brake fluid is tested for moisture and overall quality, since old or contaminated fluid can reduce braking performance. If your vehicle uses an electronic brake system, our technicians connect advanced diagnostic tools to scan for faults or irregular behaviour. Once the inspection is complete, we explain what we found in clear, straightforward terms so you can make an informed decision.

Most drivers come in after noticing small but important changes. Squealing or grinding when braking, a soft or spongy pedal, the car pulling slightly to one side or a brake warning light on the dashboard are all signs that something needs attention. Cayman’s heat, humidity, and stop-and-go driving can accelerate wear, which is why routine checks can save you from bigger repairs later on.

FAQs:

1. How often should I have my brakes checked?

Most vehicles benefit from a brake check every 12 months, or sooner if you notice unusual noises, longer stopping distance or changes in pedal feel.

2. How long does a brake check take?

A standard brake inspection usually takes 30–45 minutes. If brake pads or rotors need replacing, timing may vary based on parts availability.

3. Can I drive if my brakes are making noise?

It is not recommended. Squealing or grinding often indicates worn pads or metal-on-metal contact, which can damage rotors and reduce braking safety.

4. Do you check brake fluid as part of the inspection?

Yes. We test the brake fluid for moisture and quality, as contaminated fluid can affect braking performance and should be replaced when needed.
