Questions
How often should brake pads be replaced?
Brake pads typically require replacement every 80,000 km, though driving conditions and habits affect lifespan. Our technicians inspect brake systems during routine maintenance to determine replacement timing.
What causes brake squeaking?
Squeaking brakes usually indicate pad wear or rotor surface contamination. Moisture buildup or foreign material between components can also create noise. Visit for professional diagnosis if sounds persist beyond a week.
When should I get preventative maintenance?
Schedule preventative maintenance every 6 months or 5,000 km. This includes system inspections, fluid changes, and component checks to maintain optimal performance and prevent major repairs.
Do you offer warranties on services?
Yes, warranty periods vary by service. Most repairs carry 3-6 month coverage, while battery replacements include extended warranties up to 2 years for customer protection.
What oil types do you use?
We use semi-synthetic and full-synthetic oils meeting manufacturer specifications. BG additives enhance lubrication properties to improve engine performance and longevity during every oil change service.
Can run-flat tires be replaced with conventional tires?
Yes, conventional tires can replace run-flat units when meeting vehicle manufacturer specifications. Our specialists ensure proper fitment and performance characteristics match your driving requirements.
