- Calipers Service
Hardcore drivers may have little to no idea of the requirements of keeping cars in good condition. Caliper servicing is an aspect to watch out for. When you notice your car’s ability to come to rest reduces, it could be a sign of damaged calipers.
Although they are designed to last longer, your usage habit may quickly expose calipers to degrading conditions. If there is a loose suspension component of failing calipers, you may also experience vibrations while trying to stop.
Ignoring these signs could pose a danger. Vibrations need urgent attention; we will inspect your caliper.
Brake Pad Replacement
Ideally, your Mini Cooper comes with four brake pads on each axle. The front wheel has two per wheel, while the same applies to the back wheel.
Stopping your Mini Cooper depends significantly on the front wheel. These wheels work harder, so it is no surprise if you need to change them more often than the rear ones.
If you struggle to stop your car, they must get ready to replace the pads.
Brake Pad Inspection
On average, you will use your brake pads more often. You may notice irregularities when you match your brake after covering about 35,000 miles. However, your car usage will determine the brake pads’ longevity.
If you usually drive on highways, you could have longer-lasting brake pads than usual. Moreover, driving seldom will prolong its lifespan.
You may shorten its lifespan with heavy loads. We will thoroughly inspect your brake pads to see if replacing them will be the solution.
Brake Fluid Inspection
It doesn’t spell good for your Mini Cooper if you notice fluid leaks when your car is working or at rest. Since your brake system is a closed hydraulic system, there is no good reason for leakage.
Although wear and tear over time can lead to fluid leaks. Whatever reason is responsible for your Cooper’s fluid leak, it is not good.
Our technicians will examine the cause of fluid leaks and provide instant solutions when you contact us.
Rotor Inspection
Driving a car with failed brake pads is a quick way to shorten the durability of the rotors. Damaged brake pads etch grooves on its surface.
Your rotors may also warp, caused by excessive heat or age. If there is debris between your rotor and caliper, it will damage your rotors gradually.
You will get signals like steel-wheel shaking whenever you match the brake; hence, your car is difficult to stop. To avert more mechanical damages, visit our repair shop. Our technicians will inspect your rotors and fix any detected issues.
