Brakes

Many people assume that when they need them, their brakes will be there for them. As with all moving parts on your car they are subject to wear and tear and brakes should be checked regularly, particularly if you are thinking of setting out on a long journey Brakes pads are much less effective if they are allowed to wear thin and you can often hear when you have a problem.

It is a simple and relatively cheap thing to put right and should be rectified immediately.
